With Retreat in the Real World by Andy Alexander, SJ, and Maureen McCann Waldron, a personal Ignatian retreat is literally no farther away than your fingertips. This 34-week retreat can be started at any point in the calendar year, can be done anywhere, and can be experienced on your own or in conjunction with others.

Retreat in the Real World allows anyone to make an in-depth, self-directed Ignatian retreat on his or her own time. This 34-week retreat can be started at any point in the calendar year and can be done anywhere at any time—by yourself or in conjunction with others.

From the Back Cover:

Participate in a full Ignatian retreat—wherever and whenever you want!
Mention the word “retreat” and most people conjure up images of withdrawing from daily life, perhaps by traveling to a retreat house where a spiritual director awaits. But what if you didn’t have to go to a retreat to experience its many benefits? What if the retreat came to you?
