Desert Retreat
for Body and Soul

Sunday 10 April 2016 - Friday 15 April 2016
Campfire in the Heart, Alice Springs

Awaken, spirituality, creativity, delight

General information

Come, rest, play and reflect in the expansiveness of our magnificent central desert. Beside ancient red rocks, under giant river gum trees, in the sand, and around open fires we will be silent, move, make art, sing and tell stories that connect us with ourselves, each other and the spirit of the land herself. 
Immerse yourself...

About the facility
Campfire in the Heart is a wonderful Retreat and Conference Centre about ten minutes drive from Alice Springs. It offers a spacious Conference Room, Prayer and Meditation Space, Labyrinth with relaxing walking paths and outdoor areas.
The East MacDonnell Ranges form the backdrop for this tranquil 5 acre property. The property provides quality accommodation in a quiet comfortable bush setting. Your hosts at Campfire in the Heart are Sue and David Woods. The property and facilities sensitively reflect Sue and David’s welcome of guests and their care of the natural environment.
There are places that call us to still and be ... places of
reflection ... quiet, wild, timeless places that overflow the soul ... and draw us in to the silence of our own heartland.

Susanna Pain | Philosophy
My aim is to enable the transformation of individuals and communities in good times and in bad, through change and transition; to create space where people can rest and feel safe with challenges and successes.
I invite inclusiveness, grace, beauty and fun, as well as silence. I shape ritual and space that speaks to hearts and minds.
All my midwifery is undergirded by prayer.
