Immaculata University announced that the 2017 Summer Spirituality Days with presenter Paul  Coutinho, will be held June 21 through June 23 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. In addition, a one-day retreat with Coutinho, entitled “Silence in the Soul Echoes the Symphony of the Universe,” is offered June 20, from 8:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The three-day course will explore the interface of religion, spirituality and psychology as exemplified in the practice of psychology where many of the issues that come to the psychotherapist are existential questions such as the meaning of life, work and personal relationships.

As an internationally recognized Ignatian scholar, author, and speaker, Coutinho brings an Eastern flavor to Western spirituality. A native of India, he frequently leads retreats, gives spiritual direction, and is active in leading people to an awareness of cultivating peace in their lives and in our world. He is the author of “How Big is Your God?” “Just as You Are,” “Sacred Darkness” and “An Ignatian Pathway: Experiencing the Mystical Dimension of the Spiritual Exercises.”

The mission of the spirituality days is to provide an opportunity for participants to pause, be enriched, reflect and share with others the movements of God in their lives. Courses emphasize the integration of spirituality and psychology as one presents one´s whole self before God in genuine relationship. Those who seek God, minister to others, or work in counseling or psychology are invited to participate.

Cost for the one-day retreat is $50 and the cost for the three-day course with Coutinho is $75. Course registration forms and information on housing and meals are available at www.immaculata.edu/spirituality.
