Led by Christine Venner-Westaway
This six-day Retreat invites you into a space to reflect on your life’s spiritual journey thus far, to understand how the human condition affects your decisions, and to come to a greater awareness of next steps on your spiritual journey. A looking forward by looking back - what to keep, what to lay aside.
You will be offered a range of ‘windows’ to the soul (interactive drawing, Enneagram personality insights, small group conversations, writing/journaling), opportunities in community to reflect, share, and learn together.
Cost is $720 for single room/ $550 for twin share, all meals included.
About the facilitator:
Christine’s spiritual formation started from a very young age. In her teenage years she entered the convent and remained there for 18 years. Her experience of walking such an “active/contemplative” way of life has provided her with a substantial and enduring spiritual framework, spanning the next 40 years. For the last ten of those years, she has been attending the Brisbane Quaker Meeting House where she formally embraced membership in 2020. She brings her lived experienced rather than any theological, biblical discourse or spiritual school of thought to walk the Quaker way as faithfully as possible. More recently she has been led to a life of nonviolent direct action and bearing public witness to the Peace Testimony. This journey, and the many other spiritual lessons and “tools, acquired along the way, will be on offer, alongside those shared by other Retreat participants.
