Campfire in the Heart is a restful location on Arrernte land along the East MacDonnell Ranges, just seven kilometres from the centre of Alice Springs. Whether you’re looking for a break from the hustle and bustle or a peaceful escape, our simple bush setting provides the ideal environment for relaxation.
Facilities
Campfire in the Heart offers a peaceful location for seminars and retreats, as well as cabins overlooking the East Macdonnell Ranges for individual, self-led solitude.


What’s On
Join our free weekly meditation and gatherings around the campfire! We have a range of regular events, as well as an evolving calendar of extended retreats to inspire and rejuvenate the spirit.

How can we hope, after all, to see a tree or rock or clear [southern] sky if we do not adopt a little of their mode of life, a little of their time?
