Mary MacKillop Spirituality Centre, Central Coast
You are warmly invited to step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life into a gentle, seven-day retreat inspired by the spirituality of Henri Nouwen.
This retreat unfolds over six days with a spacious rhythm of morning and afternoon sessions, combining reflection, silence, prayer, journaling, and shared listening.
Together, we will explore life’s deeper questions — identity, belovedness, suffering, peace, and how we are called to live — not to find quick answers, but to grow in awareness, compassion, and trust.
This retreat is especially suited to those longing for rest, renewal, and a deeper sense of God’s presence in ordinary life. No prior retreat experience is needed — only a willingness to come as you are.
Come and rest. Come and listen. Come and remember that you are already deeply loved.
About the Facilitator:
Sally Lavis is a pastoral carer, spiritual director, retreat facilitator, and mother of six. Her work is shaped by many years of accompanying individuals and groups through grief, transition, and spiritual searching. Inspired by the compassionate spirituality of Henri Nouwen, where people are invited to slow down & listen deeply.
