Upcoming Retreat
Sacred Connections Online Retreat
Join Theresa Ardler and Sr Antonia Curtis in this unique retreat where we will be pondering the values of Silence & Listening, Reverence and Community, all of which are integral to both Aboriginal Spirituality and the Rule of St Benedict. These two spiritualities embody an extremely ancient wisdom, Aboriginal spirituality developing over thousands and thousands of years and the Benedictine tradition from the 5th century and the earlier traditions of the desert mothers and fathers.
Retreat starts on 12 Feb 2023.
Registration is open now.
Other Retreats
Christ and Crisis The world as a whole and millions of individuals are in crisis. Perhaps you, too, are in crisis? The crisis of crisis is that we do not understand crisis. We do not understand it as something on the brink of giving birth. Is there a meaning to be found in crisis? Let’s find out. |
The Prodigal Mother and Daughter: Mary and Eve The word “prodigal” can mean extravagant and lavish and it can also mean undisciplined and wasteful. This retreat will open up for us a way to learn more about our own conflicting prodigal tendencies. Maybe there is a Mary and an Eve within ourselves. What might that mean for our spiritual lives? |
High Horses, Scapegoats and Donkeys: This retreat takes us into the realm of tears, the tears of compunction that St Benedict talks about in his chapter on Reverence in Prayer (RB 20). It is a calling forth of ourselves to a new and more authentic living; |
Meet Me In The Middle: This retreat is based on Charles Peguy’s Little Girl Hope from the book: “The Portal of the Mystery of Hope.” |
