Walking with Hope for Everyday Pilgrims!

“Hope is never still, hope is always journeying and it makes us journey… Hope opens new horizons making us capable of dreaming of what is not even imaginable.” Pope Francis

In this Jubilee year of Hope we are invited to consider the many ways hope can guide, sustain and enliven our life experience.

– What does it mean to walk with hope in my everyday experience?
– In an ever changing world how might I nurture and receive the seeds of hope planted in my life?

Come and join us as we explore this theme of hope, to step aside from your everyday life and enjoy the beautiful surrounds of ‘Stella Maris’ Jesuit Villa House overlooking Seven Mile beach at Gerroa, on the South Coast of NSW.

This retreat will explore the life-giving nature of Hope and use the Ignatian tools of awareness, reflection, contemplative prayer and the art of discernment.

Participants will be given time to reflect on this theme using imagery, music, story and creative expression.

There will be time to walk on the beach, relax, sit quietly, listen, and reflect on your journey with God and share with others.

This will be a unique opportunity for personal growth and provide a reflective space to integrate your spirituality with your daily living and life’s journey.

We would love to welcome you and hope you will join us!
