A three-day retreat of stillness and reflection in Central Australia, exploring the Gospel of Saint Thomas alongside the writings of John Main, founder of the World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM). Through shared silence, lectio divina, and meditation, we will listen for the timeless call to discover the Kingdom within. This retreat offers space to deepen your contemplative practice, nurture inner peace, and encounter the transforming presence of Christ in the silence of your heart.
This retreat will be held in a spirit of silence providing an opportunity to benefit over the days from the sustained silence and stillness of meditation in this ancient sacred place … as we listen innerly, as we listen to each other reflecting on the selected readings, as we listen to Divine Presence within and among us, everywhere …
While the material is drawn from Christian sources, its universality and the silence at the heart of our time together, welcomes all.
Campfire in the Heart is a peaceful location outside Alice Springs, in the East MacDonnell Ranges. Guests can enjoy the contemplative labyrinth, walking trails, swimming pool, an open fire and native gardens. Retreat Guides: Paul and Judi Taylor
Cost: Packages from $390 – $585
Price includes all meals and accommodation in a private room, for 2 nights ($390) or 3 nights ($585)
