Unique & Connected - New Approaches to Ignatian Spirituality

Unique & Connected - New Approaches to Ignatian Spirituality

New Webinar Series for the New Year Happy holidays and welcome to the Spiritual Directors International monthly newsletter.

We are delighted to announce a new webinar series, entitled " Unique & Connected - New Approaches in Ignatian Spirituality ." The 4-part series will have weekly sessions starting January 30 and finishing February 20.

Ignatian Spirituality is built on the idea of “Finding God in all things.” This webinar series will examine how that deep wisdom is revealing itself in exciting, fresh ways for the 21st century.

The series will be guided by the international workshop leader, Nita Neshama Ng. She has deep roots in the Ignatian tradition as well as broad experience in areas like yoga, art and interspirituality. 

In this webinar, you will review the foundations of Ignatian Spirituality as a prelude to exploring new expressions of St. Ignatius' enduring vision. Participants will be asked to engage on a deep and personal level and discern. The webinar offers holistic, experiential spiritual formation – where your heart and soul and body are far more important to learning than your notebook.

Christians will benefit from Nita's warmth and her inclusive, contemplative teaching style, but so will all people who seek a deep connection with their Higher Power, however they name it, a connection that can lead to mystery, collaboration and peace.

Please note: All webinar sessions last one hour. They will be recorded so you can enjoy them at your convenience for at least a year after the course finishes. That way, you needn't worry if you miss a session. :)

Spiritual Life-Coach or Spiritual Director

Simply put, a spiritual life-coach helps you find direction / purpose / meaning, by helping you listen to your own inner voice, through intuition and Divine guidance.  It is wholistic (involves mind, body & soul), rooting in your daily life (balancing your work and personal life) and helps you find peace, love, joy and contentment.  Only by helping yourself can you then help others do the same.

A spiritual director, or more popular term "life-coach" is a professionally trained companion and friend who listens to your deepest desires, or just a listener to all that is going on in your life at the present moment, and helps you heal, grow and achieve your deepest desires.  A friend who walk with you, supporting you, encourages you and help you stay-on the journey to become to best YOU that you can be.
This journey begins with getting to know yourself, becoming aware of your habits, or patterns, and helping you to become more aware and awake. Life-coaching and spiritual direction is totally non-judgemental and you can come from any walk of life, any faith or cultural background.  It is about the Real You.
I do this work using various wholistic tools including:
• Art / visuals.      • Poetry
• Visualization/ imagination
• Understand our dreams
• Body / somatic awareness
• Journalling, writing, mind-maps
• Wisdom & scripture from different faith traditions
• Inspirational writing, eg. Rumi, Mary Oliver, Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of Avila, Ignatius of Loyola & Oprah.
• and others...

Spiritual direction or coaching with Nita is currently available through Skype.  For further information and to book your first Introductory session, please contact RunWaters@gmail.com

Contemplation Retreat - June 16-19, 2018 at Orval Monastery, BelgiumNIta Ng & Elizabeth Rutten-Ng are offering individual and group Contemplation Retreat in the ORVAL ABBEY in Belgium.

Why a contemplation retreat?
In our contemplation retreat, we encourage natural organic flow with self and with nature where we listen in silence by being; and flow with dance, movement, photography and/or art to which we are drawn to.  We embrace the art to be, to listen and rest in the presence, in the here and now, by being, loving, being gentle, kind and compassionate towards self in contemplation.

Why in the Abbey?
The Abbey is a sacred space surrounded by Nature and run by the Trappist monks.  The way the monks live gives us an insight to what it is to live in simplicity and how we can be our individual self and yet with each other such as during meals and in the office. Witnessing their way of being and life as a monk in the offices (prayers), opens our way of being in our own daily routine even when we swing ourselves back to our normal routine life. Given the society today, we are drown with information and hectic life-pace,  it is essential to go away to reconnect with self, nature annually - a commitment to self-care and unconditional loving act for ourselves.

The Contemplation retreat is on 16 - 19 June, 2018, Saturday and Sunday.
We meet at the Abbey for lunch at 1pm om 16 June and leave after dinner, 6.30pm on 19 June.  You can leave early or stay longer in the Abbey as you desire after.

We offer 2 days of an hour group retreats in the nature on 17 and 19 June after lunch.  And also offering individual retreat, one to one with either Nita or Elizabeth.
Nita is taking 4 retreatants per day and Elizabeth, only 2 per day.

To check the availability of the rooms, please contact the Abbey personally to make your booking. The link is ORVAL ABBEY STAY. They are quite popular so please book early with them to secure the room. For more details, refer to the link.  There is a bus stop near the abbey where you can alight and walk to the abbey.  Do check with them how to get there if you are coming by plane, train or other means of transport.

If you are joining us in the group retreat ( please inform Elizabeth) or like to have personal retreat, contact either of us for arrangements.  The suggested love offering is SG$200 or 125 euro per session.

We look forward to connecting with you in the contemplation retreat in the Abbey.
