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.
Days pass and the years vanish and we walk sightless among miracles. Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and our minds with knowing. Let there be moments when you Presence, like lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk. Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns, unconsumed. And we, clay touched by God, will reach out for holiness and exclaim in wonder – How filled with awe is this place and we did not know it.
