Spiritual Formation
Courage to Be Overnight Retreat

The Courage to Be Overnight Retreat is a spiritual formation opportunity for CEDoW staff. It seeks to provide an opportunity to slow down and explore some of the wisdom from our tradition which can support us in taking those next courageous steps in life.
It endeavours to create a space for participants to reflect on their lives and will include input, gentle discussion, personal reflection and Christian Meditation.
“The Courage to Be” is an overnight retreat and will be held in the beautiful grounds of The Hermitage in Mittagong on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 May 2025 (Term 2 Week 5). Day One will be funded by the CEO (C15) and Day Two is to be funded by schools. Please register through LMS no later than Friday 9 May 2025. Approval by your principal | Assistant Director | Team Leader is required before registering on LMS. Please see the flyer here.
Due to the nature of this retreat numbers are limited so please register as soon as possible.
For those staff members who have already attended the Courage to Be, the Courage to Continue retreat will be offered in Term 3, 2025. Further information regarding The Courage to Continue will be forwarded at a later date.
