Bush Retreat Day

Bush Retreat Day Bush Retreat Day is an opportunity to get out into the Bush and encounter our natural world. We see our interconnectedness when we see it first in nature

Bush Retreat Day is an opportunity to get out into the Bush to reflect and encounter our natural world. By contemplating the natural and interconnected way of nature we can realise and remember our own "natural inter-connectedness". Connection to ourselves, the natural world, one another & the Mystery that holds it all together. In our busy and fragmented world it we need to take the time to tend

our souls and give our hearts space to breath. Time for Re-creation & renewal. Bush Retreat days have time built into them:
Time for Community; sharing together the driving & walking time. Time for Exercise; the walks into our retreat space are usually around an hour (or less) and suitable for most fitness levels. Time for Solitude; with much time to wander & explore and/or sit and contemplate. Time for being Heard; included is a 30min Mirroring/Reflected Listening Session with one of our qualified guides, to help deepen your experience. Bush Retreat Day is open to all with a moderate level of fitness and an open heart. Bush Retreat Day is held once a month on a Monday. Meet at Boonah or Kalbar usually around 8am Returning 3-4pm. Cost: $120

Bush Retreat Day is an activity of Centre for Men Australia. A not for profit charity, dedicated to walking with men and their families. Bush Retreat Day is open to Men & Women.

I am always fascinated about how life does circle back around and we approach another season of processing something again. It can feel like going round in circles. I have come to realise it is like a spiralling down the levels in a carpark. Each time around we experience it at a greater depth.
And not just because we are going downhill like my cynical side might want to suggest, but because we are mining for the gold of our truest self.
Unearthing the treasure that is our gift to share with the world.

What sort of story are you living in?

Is it a tale of great discovery and adventure.

Has the hero found the plot twist of their hidden nobility? Found their golden treasure, which is not just for their gratification but turns into a self replenishing spring of wealth as they give it out?

We were all born with unique gifts that can inspire great purpose. And yet so many people lead lives of “quiet desperation”. Dissatisfied they go through the motions of life letting the bangs and scrapes of life keep their dreams small.

All adventures take courage. The path to our gifts and purpose leads right into our darkest most humiliating parts of our life. And so many don’t go. But the adventure is so worth it.... out there is life .... Abundant LIFE!!!
Complete with the felt sense of being fully alive. No need to medicate the ache with junk food and junk entertainment or any other escape.

Get curious what is out there? could this be true?

All great adventures have the exception the slipping out of time: the doorway in the back of the wardrobe, the crash landing on an in known planet , the shipwreck or being stuck in the lift.

These special moments become a time outside of time, where insight is possible. Where we can see clearly enough to imagine different ways of being.

Bush retreat day can be just that a time outside of time where you can be still enough to gain insight. And re imagine your story. Who knows it may just be the literal forest you find your treasure in.

It is very hard to imagine a different way to be when constantly doing things the same way.

Take a day out to explore your inner and outer landscape. All in the company of a guide who knows both terrains well and can help you notice things you may have walked past 1000 times and not realised they were significant.

Current dates are 26/2 & 19/3 , with more dates to come soon

Explore your story!

"Because our greatest gifts and deepest wounds reside in the same area; because the resurrection of old pains can be so fearful and painful, people need to be reminded in diverse ways that the inner dream of life, the wise word set within and the psychic gold are the natural inheritance of each human soul. Because it is so easy to forget what we so desperately need to remember; old stories talk of golden treasures and great dreams that call us to undertake adventures and pilgrimages that in the end reveal what was within us all along."

Your life is a journey of discovery.
If we can travel with the reverence spoken of here we will notice amazing things.

Trail markers that will direct our path.

Hold your Deep Imagination open for what it might see and what/whom might speak to you.

When you regain a sense of your life as a journey of discovery, you return to rhythm with yourself. When you take the time to travel with reverence, a richer life unfolds before you. Moments of beauty begin to braid your days. When your mind becomes more acquainted with reverence, the light, grace and elegance of beauty find you more frequently. When the destination becomes gracious, the journey becomes an adventure of beauty.
