Gifts Of The Desert Experiencing … the Path of Scripture into Silence with the Christian Desert Elders


Residential retreat in Alice Springs 15-20 October 2023

In a silent desert we experience the struggle to grow in silence. This is because the desert exposes to us our own distractions and temptations - our demons. And yet! Grace awaits us...in humility, distraction and temptation open the way into silence. With meditation and scripture our attention is transformed for silence. This awareness is a gift from the Desert Elders of the Christian Tradition. A gift that we can receive in the desert. Listening to Abba Anthony of the Desert and Dom John Main as our guides, this retreat is an opportunity to experience the many gifts of the desert of Central Australia.
