Pilgrimage Day at Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island)

Renew commitment to our Common Home on the tranquil beauty of the Island, known by the traditional owners of the land,      the Quandamooke people, as Minjerribah.

Our pilgrimage day will include contemplative space for walking, deep listening, prayer, art, and reflection, as we seek to deepen  our relationship with our Creator and all creation.

Make the day a spiritual and sensory experience, noticing your moments of wonder and awe, as you experience of the beauty of the ocean, lakes, and the natural vegetation of the Island. Such moments, invite a special connection with our inner selves and the mystery we call God.

As Anthony de Mello SJ wrote, my route to God has to be a route toward silence. If you want to reach union with God someday, you must begin with silence.

When: Saturday 25 March 2023, 8.30am to 5.00pm

Meet: at 8.30 am, 12 Emmett Drive, Cleveland (Toondah Harbour, ferry departure zone). Ferry departs at 9am.

Bring: Your own lunch, snacks, and water. Wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent, plus swimmers should you wish to swim.

Walks: There are easy walks, much of which is along boardwalks and around Brown Lake. However, there are several steps along the route, and you will be free to enjoy the walk in its entirety or part thereof.

Cost: $90 per person which includes the ferry and mini-bus hire costs.  You are also invited to contribute financially towards the ongoing work of our not-for-profit ministry, at the checkout when booking. We are grateful for your generosity, which enables us to continue sharing the transformative experiences of Ignatian spirituality.

Minimal seating is available on the mini-bus so bookings are limited.
