Updated and revised October 2022. This manual includes materials used by a small group of lay directors. It provides everything you need to help organize and run group meetings of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius (19th Annotation). Meeting agendas, prayers, sharing questions, meditations, forms, charts, applications, brochures, and instructions are included. Also, for each meeting, you’ll find a stated theme and purpose, handouts, ideas for setting the environment, and more. Even sample talks are included for reference. Topics follow themes taken from the appropriate Ignatian “week” in which the meeting falls. In no way should this manual be the end of the story. Consider it the beginning. If something doesn’t fit your style, or you think of a different idea, listen to the Spirit and try it. Also available in Spanish.\nWhat others are saying about Taking the Exercises to the World: 
"The amount of careful, painstaking labor that went into Taking the Spiritual Exercises to the World handbook is astonishing. Well planned, well executed, interesting, and with pertinent examples to capture the reader and illustrate the text. The charts are creative and illuminating. The questions for sharing are clear, precise and to the point. ... This handbook should be an invaluable asset for any Spiritual Exercises 19th annotation group, or for that matter, anyone studying the Spiritual Exercises.” ~ Fr. Joseph F. Conwell, SJ, Author of Impelling Spirit, Contemplation in Action, and Walking in the Spirit. 
“Ellen Tomaszewski has produced a remarkably usable and useful handbook for those who wish to conduct the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius in locations where there are no Ignatian spiritual resources available." 
~ Larry Gooley, S.J. Spiritual and Retreat Director National Assistant to Christian Life Community

Small groups in out of the way areas are especially challenged to find a supervisor. This handbook gives spiritual directors who are involved in small groups a way in which they can provide supervision to each other. Besides providing an important service to the individual, group supervision also provides a great way for groups to bond and learn trust. If done correctly, it enhances the spiritual direction and the director. In this book you’ll find detailed instructions on how to: *Run a supervision meeting *Take notes after each direction session so you’re prepared for supervision *Use your notes to write a good supervision paper *Create an atmosphere where people can feel free to discuss deep, personal issues If you don’t have regular access to trained supervisor, we encourage you to try group supervision.

Intern Handbook: Training Interns to direct the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius 19th Annotation

Peer Supervision – Beyond the Basics introduces a peer supervision method rooted in the Two Standards from St. Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises. It’s designed to help less experienced spiritual directors grow in trust, self-awareness, and skill, while offering seasoned directors a way to lead without assuming a “guru” role. The result is a collaborative method that produces accountable communities of peer spiritual directors committed and trained in supervision excellence—often sustained at minimal or no cost.\nWhat others are saying:\nPeer Supervision—Beyond the Basics expertly weaves psychology and spirituality to help directors infuse their calling with a deepened understanding of the critical priority of a Christ-centered self-knowledge. This handbook’s reflection questions, techniques, verbatims and graphics invite directors on all skill levels to a personal exploration for greater self-awareness and spiritual development. -- Lori Stanly, Executive Director, Loyola Institute for Spirituality, Orange, CA. 
In Peer Supervision – Beyond the Basics, Ellen Tomaszewski introduces us to supervision through the use of real-life examples and practical tools for peer spiritual directors, presenters and supervisors. This handbook should be required reading for spiritual directors, supervisors, and anyone involved in accompanying others in their spiritual life. 
--Sophie Nguyen, Prayer Companion, Spiritual Director, & Supervisor
