A nurturing Christian environment for those on a spiritual journey.

OUR FACILITIES
The property in Cheltenham was originally designed as a home for the Sisters of the Community of the Holy Name.
When the Sisters moved into their new convent, the building was repurposed as the Holy Name Spirituality Centre
- a place to set down the pressures of everyday life, rest, recharge and be spiritually renewed.

INNER JOURNEYING THROUGH ART JOURNALING 2025
Using the wisdom you've gathered over the last 40+ years
Our facilitator, Pam Cox, has been practicing the healing arts as an art therapist and spiritual director, facilitating group and individual sessions for a number of years.
We invite you to come as you are. Our art journaling group is not about being able to draw, but a creative process to connect the visual non verbal to our daily life experiences.
BYO lunch. (Materials, tea and coffee are provided.) There is no charge for these days but a donation towards costs is greatly appreciated.
10:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Spirituality Centre, 40 Cavanagh Street, Cheltenham.
