Gembrook Retreat is a 22-acre area of land on the border country of the Bunurong/BoonWurrung and Wurundjeri people in the place now called Victoria.
Book a space for your own retreat, or get involved in our community as we equip each other to live a soulful life.
Join fellow Active Hope community members as we connect with each other, return to the Spiral and support each other explore Going Forth ideas and projects.
There will be space in the afternoon to be nourished by the beautiful land of Gembrook Retreat.
One Free Gathering for anyone who has done an Active Hope workshop with us in the past 12 months.
The Work That Reconnects is a spiral of practices that supports us in meeting the multiple crises of our times.
Based in the teachings of Joanna Macy, the Work unfolds as a spiral journey through four stages: Coming from Gratitude, Honouring our Pain for the world, Seeing with New/Ancient Eyes, and Going Forth. The journey helps us experience first hand that we are larger, stronger, more creative - and more deeply interconnected - than we knew.
This workshop, based on the Work That Reconnects, provides useful resources that strengthen our motivation, creativity, courage and capacity to respond to challenging issues in our world, and allows participants to explore and grow connection - to the land, ourselves, and each other. This is Active Hope.

Our Sunday Meeting for Worship is held on the fourth Sunday of the month at our Meeting House, surrounded by sounds of the bush.
A day to reconnect with yourself, each other and the wild living world through song. All voices welcome!
Following the spiral of Gratitude, Honouring our pain, Seeing with New Eyes and Going Forth which underlies the Work That Reconnects, Samara will teach some short acapella songs as a way into reconnection, nourishment and joy.
No music reading required, just a willingness to share your own voice and tune in to the songs and singers around you.
Lunch and drinks provided, BYO snacks.
A monthly Meeting for Worship is held on the second Tuesday of the month at our Meeting House, surrounded by sounds of the bush.
