WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Step away from the busyness of life and gift yourself a day of stillness, reflection, and spiritual renewal within the peaceful, heritage-listed surrounds of Tabor’s beautiful campus.

Guided by facilitator Christine, this full-day retreat offers sacred space to notice and savour how God is present and flowing through your life—often in humble and ordinary ways we may not always recognise. Through times of gentle input, creative exploration, and contemplative practice, you’ll be invited to listen more deeply to God and to your own heart.

Opportunities for silence, prayer, journalling, poetry writing, contemplative photography, and collage will help you follow the Spirit into a place of rest and renewal. Experience the tranquillity of Tabor’s serene grounds as you nurture your faith, refresh your energy, and cultivate a renewed sense of purpose and inner calm.
