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.
The creative operation of God does not simply mould us life soft clay. It is a Fire that animates all it touches, a spirit that gives life. So it is in living that we should give ourselves to that creative action, imitate it, and identify with it.
