2025 Men's Silent Retreat

Is the noise of the year drowning out that deeper call?

Feel the need to step away, get quiet & listen again for meaning, connection, and purpose?

Escape to the spacious parklands of the Dandenong Valley and Jells Park for a weekend dedicated to just that. This silent retreat offers profound rest and the stillness needed to hear the Spirit's invitation to a richer life. You’ll be in the respectful company of other men seeking the same, supporting each one’s unique journey. This will be an opportunity to find your rhythm walking in the bush, cycling the Norton’s Park trails, expressing yourself through art, or walking the Labyrinth – an ancient path to deeper grounding in the Divine.

We anchor the days with morning and evening gatherings for reflection and silent prayer. Plus, you can explore what's unfolding within you during a confidential chat with a spiritual companion.

Step aside, reconnect, and listen.

Facilitators: Rev Dr Tim McCowan OAM, supported by Damian Cehun.

Cost includes all meals and accommodation.
