Campfire in the Heart is a sacred place of retreat, in the spirit of love the Campfire community welcomes all who come. Read our Vision statement here. The retreat is set in a restful location on Arrernte land along the East MacDonnell Ranges, just seven kilometres from the centre of Alice Springs.
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.
If you have a thousand reasons for living, if you never feel alone, if you wake up wanting to sing, if everything speaks to you, from the stone in the road to the star in the sky, from the loitering lizard to the fish, lord of the sea, if you understand the winds and listen to the silence, rejoice, for love walks with you, he is is your comrade, is your brother!
