Retreat: Space to Be

Advertisement

Why is meditation so powerful?

“Because it gives us the space that our spirit needs to breathe. It gives each of us the space to be ourselves.”
- John Main, ‘Moment of Christ’.

Following 2024’s Mind the Gaps retreat, Fr. Bernard McGrath will reflect more deeply on these teachings, in particular the understanding of John Main’s encouragement to “Shun thoughts and ideas. Shun everything that takes you away from the poverty of that one word (the mantra)”.

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.

Facilitated by Fr. Bernard McGrath, Benedictine monk and member of the World Community for Christian Meditation. He has taught Biblical studies around Australia and leads regular retreats at Arcadia monastery (NSW). This will be his third time visiting Campfire in the Heart.

COST: PACKAGES FROM $450 – $1,095
