Theme/Preached Retreats - 2012

Our Centres offer retreats on spiritual themes to meet the needs and desires of particular people. These retreats offer spiritual conversations about prayer and life experience in guided groups or individual spiritual direction. Each retreat has it’s own rythmns of silence and withdrawal, guidance, prayer, liturgy, teaching, rest and recreation. Please read the retreat descriptions to choose the weekend that best meets your desires.

No special knowledge or holiness is required! In every retreat, expect to be given encouragement, spiritual direction, spiritual exercises and ways to pray. Finally these retreats will offer practical ways for you to continue to deepen your relationship with God.

Inner Peace in Friendship with Jesus

Fri 13 - Fri 20 Apr (Campion, VIC)
Michael Hansen , Campion Team

“Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin” (Prov 18:24). This retreat draws on our own experience of friendship to help us experience how Jesus relates to me and others. In growing friendship with Him, I will practise what He has shown me - for things I learn in a true friendship usually become a part of who I am. Jesus can be all a best friend is, yet there is more.
