These one-week-long workshop series in the historic city of Venice are based on Ignatian spirituality. Jesuits are to be found in every part of the world – always drawing from their Catholic heritage and seeking dialogue with others.
The workshop will help you to reflect on your own life in the company of others and in the spirit of community and trust. It is all about conversation. You will not be hearing long lectures. The opportunity of a deeply personal kind of learning takes place in this environment.
