Led by Sheila Keane and Matt Lamont, with Felicity Rose as accompanying Elder. This year long course is designed to

• respond to a deep spiritual hunger for more

• deepen/ transform your spiritual life

• establish in you an ongoing rhythm of spiritual practice

• enable you to better discern and live into your own leadings

The course starts with a residential Opening Retreat at Silver Wattle, 5-11 February 2027, followed by weekly offline reading & video materials (a commitment of 3-5 hours per week). Over the year, there will also be 13 live Zoom sessions (held Sunday afternoons) which will include presentations and provide opportunities to explore your spiritual experience. The course topics follow inward and outward movements of the spirit concluding with an exploration of your own leadings toward contemplative action.

The Closing Retreat will be held 19-25 November 2027, also at Silver Wattle.
