Retreats and Workshops 2026
Spring Retreat
25-29 October 2026
Mycelium
the undergrowth of grace
FACILITATOR
Dr Sally Longley
VENUE
The Hermitage Mittagong
COST
$735
Spring is glorious, and yet too we are aware of deep pain and destruction in the world around us. We can find ourselves exclaiming:
Where on earth IS God! On this retreat we will reflect on the metaphor of Mycelium as the ever-present undergirding of God’s presence and grace. It continues to grow networking through all created things, feeding, nourishing, sustaining. Mycelium, like Paul’s prayer in Eph 3, urges us to take heart, to be strengthened by the power of the Spirit in our inner beings, and to be rooted and grounded in this love and grace that is a constant in this changing world.
“rooted and grounded in love”
Australian Labyrinth Network
March 26-28
Topic: Flipping your fairytale or myth in the labyrinth
Venue: Mt Carmel Retreat Centre, Varroville, NSW
Presented jointly by Dr Sally Longley and Kathy Cave
Description: We carry with us remembered stories from childhood – often without knowing why. This workshop is an invitation to look at the particular stories, be they fairy tales or myths , that have stayed with us. We then work with that story, allowing the labyrinth to accompany and guide us in this transfiguration.
We re-imagine the story – flip it on its head! With a new story we walk the labyrinth’s path, noticing the freedom that comes from a different perspective. In the centre we go deeper and then as we return outward, walk into a different way of being in the world.
