Awaken RetreatsAwaken Retreats is a four-hectare, semi-rural property located near Kuttabul, just north of Mackay. Our vision is to provide a place (both online and in person) where people are prompted to think more deeply about their relationship with God – a space for reflection, rest and spiritual renewal. Among our offerings for 2026 are opportunities for spiritual formation through contemplative prayer, exploring personality, book clubs and more. We also have a number of day retreats for both men and women – some online and some at our retreat centre. For more information, check our list of events at Eventbrite https://awakenretreats. |
