The Madeleine Sophie Barat Program could be just what you have been searching for!
It is a leadership program in its 12th year, sponsored by the Religious of the Sacred
Heart and organised by women for women.

The program focuses on social awareness, spirituality, and leadership. We are looking

who are passionate about justice and peace and who recognise the importance of
setting aside time for self.

Participants are invited to attend three live-in weekend retreats in Canberra to
experience a time of community, support and peace. Sessions are focused on a theme
and include times of input, reflection, sharing, prayer and creative activities.
