Resilience is the psychological resilience of humans.

Resilient people are demonstrably more successful professionally, more emotionally stable, and physically and mentally healthier. They adapt better to change and experience fewer psychological crises. Resilient people respond more consciously to life's interactions and are generally more resilient.

Spiritual exercises are a path of spiritual practice with periods of silence, prayer, reflection on one's own life, and inner alignment with God. They can be characterized by periods of scripture meditation as well as contemplation, a silent presence before God.

They take place away from the usual everyday life and usually last 5 – 10 days or take place in everyday life (exercises in everyday life).

They are geared toward the individual's personal path. Depending on the program, community and group elements are more or less pronounced.

Individual retreats based on Ignatian principles invite us to explore our longing for a deeper, living relationship with God. They are firmly rooted in the spiritual and mystical tradition of Christianity.

They are aligned with the promises of the biblical message and are intended to help us see our own path better.

Spiritual direction helps a person, with all that belongs to them, to seek and follow their own path with God, to find their own spiritual source and draw from it. It contributes to creating the conditions under which the work of the Holy Spirit can unfold. Thus, spiritual direction has no other goal than to support an ever-increasing openness to the work of God.

"Once someone has a character, they have developed a rigid system. Their behavior becomes petrified, predictable, and they lose their ability to cope with life freely and to their full potential. They are predestined to deal with events only in one way, namely, in the way their character dictates. It seems paradoxical when I say that the richest person, the most productive and creative person, is the one who has no character." (Fritz Perls)

Methods

The methods used are based on principles that are also valid for Gestalt therapy, including: the here and now principle, the figure-ground principle, and the contact principle.

Likewise, various methods and interventions, media and materials of Gestalt therapy are used - each oriented towards the individual client and his or her (developmental) process and needs.
