As a result of and continuation of the Symposium on the Mystagogies of the Exercises 500 years later (June 2022), the Spirituality Center of the Cova Sant Ignasi (CIEI), the Ignatian School of Spirituality (EIDES) and an Intercontinental Committee have taken the task of convening a biennial Symposium on a specific issue related to Ignatian practice. The theme chosen for next June 2024 (10th to 16th) is how the experience of the Exercises can promote an awareness and a change in attitude towards the ecological crisis. Through speakers from various parts of the world who are engaged in this field and who have reflected on the spiritual experience it entails, we will study the Four Weeks of the Exercises in order to explore the potential they contain to respond to this challenge.
The Symposium is aimed primarily at those who accompany the Exercises, have responsibilities in the formation of Ignatian spirituality or direct Retreat Centers and Houses of Spirituality.
Online registration gives access to the live broadcast of the Symposium presentations and communications on 11, 12, 13,14 and 15 June 2024 from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm, CEST (Central European Summer Time) / UTC +2, as well as access to the recordings of the same to access them later (in case of not being able to connect live).
Language: Symposium languages will be Spanish and English with simultaneous translation of both languages.
