Philip Carter is a retired Anglican priest, Spiritual Director, and Trainer, Retreat Leader, and Supervisor. His ministry included founding the Julian Centre (1997-2009), an independent and ecumenical spirituality centre in Adelaide, South Australia. He was also the inaugural president of the Australian Ecumenical Council for Spiritual Direction from 2006 to 2009, and a founding steering committee member and former president of the Australian Network for Spiritual Direction.
Philip's latest book, "Ordinary Heaven", is an extraordinary work that lovingly renders a lifetime of spiritual experience and reflection, honouring life and the sacred ministry of spiritual direction.
Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to hear Philip speak and connect with Dayspring and the ANSD WA! We look forward to seeing you there. For more information please email us at [email protected]
Quiet Day- Come away for a while
On the second Tuesday of each month (except in school holiday times), we hold a Quiet Day at Nathanael's Rest in Mundaring.
Quiet Days offer time for reflection, recollection and quietness in community, sacred space for deep listening and an invitation to simply be. Set in the beautiful retreat space at Nathanael's Rest, you are welcome to spend the quiet time reflecting, walking, creating, reading and resting in any way that feels safe and good for you.
A leader will begin with a brief reflection to commence the morning and then participants are free to find their own sense of space, rhythm and activity during the remainder of the morning.
Resources are provided to support your engagement, including;
- 'Thought for the Day' reflective reading on scripture
- creative materials,
- two labyrinths set in the idyllic natural surroundings.
- One of Dayspring's Spiritual Directors will be available to offer Spiritual Accompaniment/Companioning if you choose.
Morning tea is available throughout the morning.
Around 12.30pm we will regather to share and close the morning, but all are welcome to share and connect informally for a time of community over lunch (byo).
On Ebb & Flow Quiet Days the space will provide additional creative resources and spaces and those who wish may stay for additional time and or spiritual accompaniment following lunch time sharing.

Book Club: The Inner Work of Age
Only a few left!
Last year a small group met on Zoom to study Richard Rohr's Falling Upward, and this year we are inviting a few others to join us to study Connie Zweig's The inner work of age - moving from role to soul.
The main purpose of the group is to be a community of deep contemplative sharing as we study the book together.
The group will start on the 22nd April, and will meet once a month on the 4th Tuesday at 7.30 pm (AWST). The Zoom link will be provided when you register.
Cost : $40 for the seven sessions.
