SEEL Puget Sound
Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life
The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday Life (SEEL) invites us into an intimate relationship with God that enables us to integrate prayer into our daily lives, that infuses us with a prophetic spirit, and that impels us to work for a world that breathes peace, justice, and love.
The Spiritual Exercises arose out of the life experience of Saint Ignatius Loyola, who founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order) in the 16th Century. St. Ignatius developed the Spiritual Exercises based on the Gospels for a person who could get away from everyday life to spend thirty days in quiet, solitary prayer. But Ignatius found that many people could not, because of family or business reasons, take thirty days off, leave home and go away for a retreat. So he created an everyday adaptation of the Exercises, often referred to as the 19th Annotation, which would be extended over a period of eight to nine months, during which people could make the retreat with a spiritual director while continuing to live their daily lives.
