Join us for an enjoyable relaxing afternoon at Shalom for this very special talk and delicious Long Lunch. Our speaker is Sally Neaves from Blayney Eco Hub, a centre for ecological education, spirituality, and advocacy in the Central West region. Our chef will be John Hansen who will be preparing a vegetarian, gluten free menu working with the Eco Hub’s food philosophy “SOLVER”, using many of their wonderful fresh organic vegetables, herbs, and foraged edibles. SOLVER: Seasonal, Organic, Local, Vegetarian, Ethical and Rescued.

The women’s retreat is an opportunity to escape from your busy lives, pause and take some time for yourself.

We are living in extraordinary times. Truly extra-ordinary! So how do we live well in a time which continues to change, challenges us, and asks more of us while giving us less time to react, recharge, or connect? Shalom is holding its latest Men’s Weekend Retreat. It is a time where men can get away together, share life experiences, and take time to reflect on the values and actions we can take to live better. Using some simple, yet powerful, exercises, participants use the retreat to ‘slow down’ their thinking and explore (individually and together) what we can to do make a positive change that impacts ourselves and others. Meals, drinks and stories are shared. Connections are made. It is not about being particularly holy, religious, or prayerful. It is about coming together to explore a connection to something greater than ourselves – something that never tires of refreshing us to deal with such ‘extra-ordinary’ times.
