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.
Nature’s silence is felt not as an absence, a lack of communication, but as a powerful summons on the part of the natural world, a demand for attention to be paid. Obeying this command means shifting to a different kid of attention – we descend – really, we deepen – into a profound attention from which something can come to meet us.
