Join a group
From its very beginning, Eremos has nurtured small group gatherings where people can
share their experiences and learn with and be nourished by one another in a common exploration.
STARTING A GROUP
The Eremos Membership Officer may be able to assist members to find others to form a group in their area.
Please feel free to email directly to the group contact listed near you. If you have any need of further assistance please contact groups@eremos.org.au.
The focus of Eremos groups is on collegiality and sharing, rather than an expert leader. Each group chooses what resources they utilise. Some use the EREMOS magazine articles as stimulation for regular discussion.

Hills District, Sydney
Ross McDonald writes about the group: Betty Carmody (seated in the centre), who started and hosted the Hills district reading group in her home for decades, turned 90 this year (2024)! She has been a wonderful inspiration and mentor to us and to many others in her community. Betty was amongst several nonagenarian women honoured for service to their community at the Jean Arnot Recognition Awards Luncheon at Parliament House in August. Betty has handed the leadership baton, but our meetings are currently held in the aged care facility where Betty now resides so that she can continue to enjoy the fellowship. Meets: 2nd Saturday of the month in the morning Hills District group Sydney continues to meet monthly on a Saturday morning. We are presently reading together “Journey to the Heart” on Christian contemplation through the centuries, edited by Kim Nataraja.
