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.
Woe to any age in which the voice crying in the wilderness can no longer be heard because the noises of everyday life drown it, or restrictions forbid it, or it is lost in the hurry and turmoil of progress, or simply stifled by authority, misled by fear and cowardice.
