Retreat Day

A DAY TO SLOW DOWN, REFLECT & REFRESH

Saturday 8 February 10.00am to 4.00pm

St Joseph’s Baulkham Hills, 33 Barina Downs Road, Norwest
Led by Bethany South and Jenn Pearson

As the slower and spacious days of summer are replaced by the new year with its commitments and activities, we invite you join us for this day away.

Come and take time to pause, to savour and relish and the restore your soul and spirit. 

This Retreat Day offers the opportunity to reconnect with ourselves through rest and sacred reading; with others over a shared meal and through thoughtful conversation; with nature through contemplative walking and with the transcendent through prayerful silence, together and in solitude.

Bethany South will guide the day offering considered input, gentle facilitation, and room for your own reflection. Enjoy ‘holy leisure’ as you walk the labyrinth, enjoy the gardens and share your insights with others, nourishing your body and soul.

Morning tea and lunch are provided.
