The Dayspring Community



Contemplative Spirituality 







​A Place for Being
A Place for Learning


Picture
When Dayspring was established in 2001 its goal was fairly straightforward - to develop a Contemplative Heart.

We recognized that for many Christians the ancient spiritual practices of prayer and meditation in all their various forms were lost to us and had to be discovered anew.  This was especially so for many people who were pastors and ministers in communities of faith.

So, we set up ways to spread this good news.

dayspring  Being
We hold events that provide you with contemplative spaces that might enhance your own spiritual life.  Sacred space, day retreats and residential retreats, many enhanced by the leadership of international guests, became our gift to the church. 

You will find our program of Perth Metropolitan Events HERE and our program of SouthWest Events HERE.  Tickets to Dayspring Events are sold through our Shop HERE.

One of the services Dayspring provides is Spiritual Direction - a one-on-one companioning with you in your spiritual life.  Find out a more about Spiritual Direction HERE and contact us HERE if you would like to meet with a Spiritual Director.

We publish a fortnightly eNewsletter with stimulating reflections and details of our events.  You can subscribe to it HERE.

dayspring  Learning
We hold regular events focussed on teaching these ancient contemplative practices.  These very practical events became another gift to the church.

You will find our program of Perth Metropolitan Events HERE and our program of SouthWest Events HERE.

We also reached out to those in ministry work and others offering a structured and experiential program of learning leading to a qualification as a Spiritual Director.  You will find details of this training program HERE.  It became our gift to those in ministry and those with a passion to serve.

Holding a Space for You


Do you need somewhere that is unhurried, welcoming and ready for you when you get there?
Every Tuesday during school terms, there is a place at St Peter & Emmaus for you to spend some time reading without 
interruptions, talking with like-minded people about the things that matter, and sharing in some contemplative prayer, meditation and even a Eucharist.
CORE VALUES
  • Hospitality – we seek to welcome and helping support pilgrims on the next step of their journey.  Taking the time to sit with someone and listen to their story, may be life changing.
  • Compassion - we seek to imitate Jesus as we respond with warmth and care to those in need or pain around us.        
  • Inclusion – we are committed to creating an environment where all feel welcome and safe, regardless of background, racial or cultural differences.  
  • Justice – we aim to promote a balanced and fair relationship with self, neighbour, all of creation and with God.
