We live in eco-systems which are under threat, conflicts are spreading around the world, democracy is being undermined, people’s trust in governments and each other is declining and the future is uncertain. How can we meet these truths with courage?

We invite participants to join us in a 3 day, 2 night residential retreat on the land of the Kaurna people in the Adelaide foothills to reflect on what it means to be hopeful in a world  which is facing so many troubling issues.

A Circle of Trust® provides opportunities to practice active curiosity living in ways that bring meaning and express care. They offer space for honest dialogue and non-judgmental listening to self, others and country and invite deeper self awareness and clarity through sharing personal stories in small and large group dialogues. Poetry, art, crafts, music help to open our hearts and minds to new ways and old ways of living in our beautiful yet distressed world.

In this retreat we will come together in community to support each other’s exploration of how to live in a troubled world in a way that is loving, kind and courageous. If you are looking for support and capacity to access your own inner wisdom and would like to do this in community, please join us.

The historic Monastery is one of Adelaide’s most unique venues for retreats: an impressive Spanish-style villa with modern facilities, set in spacious gardens. The retreat will be held in a beautiful light space with views over a peaceful contemplative garden. The accommodation is in single occupancy rooms with shared facilities.
