2026 Autumn Retreat

Join Lynette Leach and team for the WellSpring Autumn Retreat at the beautiful Don Bosco Retreat Centre.

Join Lynette Leach and team for the WellSpring Autumn Retreat at the beautiful Don Bosco Retreat Centre. This is a silent overnight retreat which includes accommodation, meals, reflections in community twice a day, and spiritual companioning once a day.

There are two options:

3 nights (from 5 pm on Friday 6 - 3pm on Monday 9 March 2026)

6 nights (from 5 pm on Friday 6 - 3pm on Thursday 12 March 2026)

Lynette Leach is a WellSpring spiritual companion and was part of the retreat team last year. Tim McCowan, who has led the Autumn Retreat for many years, will be supporting Lynette and the team. Lynette has a particular interest in prayerful labyrinth walks, and enjoys playing the piano and reading. Lynette is available to answer questions about the content of the retreat, and Mary McCowan about the venue.

Note the venue has shared bathroom facilities and you need to bring your own linen (sheets, pillowcases, towels). Linen can be provided at an extra charge of $35pp.

If you want to financially assist someone else to attend, you can do this in the "purchase additional product" section. This is in increments of $100, so you can choose how much to support someone else.

Our refund policy for the retreat is to allow refunds up to 30 days before the retreat. We appreciate that unexpected events can happen, so we will attempt to give you a partial refund, should something happen after that date that prevents you from coming to the retreat.
