Cultivating a Spirituality of Storytelling:
How Ignatian Spirituality Helps Us Uncover our Deepest Selves
with Eric A. Clayton


Too often, we’re tempted to muddle through our ordinary days, paying little attention to the glimmering details of God all around us. We think our stories don’t matter. And yet, it is in these small, mundane moments where God’s Spirit whispers to us, inviting us deeper into our unique life’s work. Join award-winning author Eric A. Clayton for a retreat in which we plumb the depths of our stories, using the tools and traditions of Ignatian spirituality to better understand who God is inviting us to become. Through presentations, small group sharing and personal prayer, we’ll encounter a God who delights in the details of our lives.

Eric A. Clayton is an award-winning author of multiple books on Ignatian spirituality and everyday life, including My Life with the Jedi: The Spirituality of Star Wars, Cannonball Moments: Telling Your Story, Deepening Your Faith, and the forthcoming, Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads to Healing and Wholeness. His writing—both spiritual nonfiction and speculative fiction—has appeared in many places, including America Magazine, National Catholic Reporter, Dork Side of the Force and Air and Nothingness Press. He is also the deputy director of communications for the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States. He lives in Towson, MD with his wife and two daughters.
