Spiritual Exercises in
Everyday Life - Tri-Cities News
SEEL Tri-Cities provides first
Preparation Days Retreat in 2007.
SEEL Tri-Cities provides the Preparation
Days Retreat - five weekly meetings - for participants considering the
Exercises. Participants attend five Saturday morning
meetings. They pray over the material on their own time, with the
expectation they will spend at least 20 minutes a day. At the group
meetings, participants pray, hear a presentation or contemplation, and
spent one hour in small group spiritual direction. We've used this process
to bring people into the Exercises for three years now. Our next retreat
will begin again in September, 2010.
SEEL Becomes a 501 (c) (3)
Non-Profit Organization
In the spring of 2007, SEEL Tri-Cities
completed all the IRS paperwork for 501(c) (3) status. Although we haven't
heard officially if our group qualifies as non-profit, we are thrilled to
be this far along in the process.
Our first board meeting was held in March,
2007. The next meeting will be May 7, 2007 in Richland, WA, with five new
board members being added. We are excited about the possibilities of
becoming a non-profit organization, and proceeding toward accomplishing
our long term goals of bringing the Spiritual Exercises to the world
