National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council

We are pleased that the first Virtual retreat hosted by NATSICC was a successful event that attracted 120 participants over its 4 days.

By embracing technology, we were able to share in rich visual reflections which allowed participants to explore their own journeys of faith from the comfort of their own home. The virtual yarning circles were something that we had some reservations about, however the enthusiasm of the participants combined with the skill of the facilitators meant that they too were a great success. By randomizing the yarning circles in each session, participants had the opportunity to meet new people and listen to different stories.

Whilst we all look forward to coming together in person again in the future, we now know that the technology exists that allows us to connect on a spiritual level using zoom, skype etc.

Please find below videos from our wonderful presentations. Each presenter brought a different point of view and we are blessed to have been able to record and share them with everyone - not only those that missed the retreat, but also those that attended and want to watch them again.
