Heart of Life Spirituality
Centre
Heart of Life Spirituality Centre began in 1983 as an initiative of the
Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
Heart of Life Spirituality Centre is an oasis for the human spirit thirsting
for God. Our Centre offers spiritual direction, spirituality seminars
and the formation and supervision of spiritual directors and other pastoral
ministers.
Ours is a way of the heart by which we are drawn into and bonded with
other human hearts, the heart of humanity and, indeed, the sacred mystery
at the heart of all reality.
Our way of the heart rests on the contemplative attitude and authentic
discernment integral to all our ministries. This way of the heart is fundamental
to the rich tradition of Christian spirituality of which we are part.

The Chevalier Resource Centre has proved to be a very popular venue for
conferences and retreats. Situated ten minutes from Mascot airport, and
ten minutes from the city centre, it has a location that offers few problems
as far as travel is concerned. The Centre is a five level building with
kitchen, lounge room and laundry on the basement level, with offices,
meeting rooms and lounge room on ground floor level, and with bed-rooms
and bathroom facilities on each of the other three levels. The exquisite
views from the rooms facing south overlooking Botany Bay, and the Royal
National Park are some of the best in Sydney. The peaceful monastic setting
in the beautifully kept grounds is an ideal place for prayer, study, reflection
or recuperation. More active visitors may prefer to use the tennis court

of the feature parks of Sydney.

or the large carpeted area can be cleared of all seats to allow other
activities to take place in the hall. Parking is available on the grounds.
