The Eremos Council
The work of Eremos is guided by elected Council members. They meet approximately 6 times per year on Zoom, coordinating the teams who oversee various Eremos projects such as the magazine, events, retreats, Books for groups, regional groups, website and membership. Eremos Council members live in various parts of New South Wales, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory.

I like that Eremos attracts people of all stages on the journey of life and faith and how it invites people into spaces for reflection and conversation, solitude and community. I am grateful for the way that Eremos and its members have enriched my journey of life and faith.

John Foulcher EREMOS Magazine Editor I’m attracted to Eremos’s sensible, experiential approach to Christianity and spirituality in general. It’s an intelligent, thoughtful contribution to our spiritual discourse in this country; it’s thorough but not esoteric, sensitive rather than dogmatic.

Elizabeth AlbistonEREMOS Small group facilitator The Eremos ethos of gathering together and exploring our spirituality in an Australian context is what first attracted me. It continues to engage me in many ways particularly as I seek to grow and to serve. It is a real privilege to be a Council member of Eremos and the facilitator for the Mornington Peninsula Eremos group. |
