The NEW Crucible Centre
A Crucible for Now
The time of WORKSHOPS when we assumed we needed fixing, is OVER.
This is the time of NOW when we can focus on being whole and joyous.
Our purpose is with the present so we may all live more fully, more joyfully.
We will explore this together throughout 2011, over Friday to Saturday RETREATS every full moon. This will give you a day for reflection before going back to work.
A Facebook page was set up for "Crucible Friends". Entry is by permission, and you can click here to apply. For more advice or directions please contact Alison on 0408 414 359.
We live at a time of contrast between prosperity and poverty midst unmitigated spiritual drabness. With enormous courage people are everywhere seeking the confidence to regain their purpose in life, to reconnect with the fullness and joy of their souls. We are going to be part of that process.
We believe that everything we do, no matter how small, affects everyone and everything on the planet. We are going to support your effectiveness in the world.
We all ask who am I? Why am I here? What I am good for? These are the fundamental questions of life. We are going to encourage your cup of value to overflow.
It is too hard on our own, so gather together in a
Sacred Journey in Fellowship - Fellowship of the Soul - Fellowship of Grace.
Our two programs aim at developing inner strength and true compassion:
The Consciousness Series and The Selfhood Series.
Come when you can and expect a miracle.
Soul is without desire, but waiting to be known. She does not judge, she just is.
She brings meaning, she carries your destiny.
Standing on the shore Soul calls “Swim to me!”
We can swim together.
John and Hilary live in the nurturing Crucible Valley. We run a private practice working with individuals, couples and children. We also offer personal and family residential retreats. Contact us to find out more or ring on 6355 2223 or 043 1616 227.

True wisdom can be gained only through the absence of analytic thinking.
Right actions can only be known by surrendering to the events taking place around you.
Know that the insignificant occurrences of life are linked in a greater whole.
Simply by non-doing and through non-attachment one achieves all.

The skills we use at Crucible Centre are at the cutting edge in personal development. We are highly regarded for our innovative approaches. Our work is holistic, designed to connect body, soul & emotions so you can feel whole and confident.
You may come to The Crucible Centre to deal with anxiety, depression or particular relationship issues.
You may dream of changing your direction in life, or you may be feeling empty and alone, or wanting to change patterns but don't know how.
But in the end you come because you want to understand the deeper meaning of life and to develop a compassionate resilience to the way we are going.
A testimonial: "I have been seeing therapists for many years. If I put all of what I have learnt from them in one basket it would not equal what I have learnt from you in one workshop about myself."
Sometimes we need a place of peace and quiet to guide and nurture us. At times the group environment offered by the Crucible is just what we need. In our Valley we have created a safe haven for change and growth. Click here to read about it.
The groups are small, and you will have the chance to meet others like yourself. Most important of all you will meet another side of YOU. Some come for one weekend and find it has made a huge difference in their lives. Others come quite regularly and treat their time at the Crucible for the intimate companionship that can be found in few other places.
Our retreats run for two days. The first day starts at 9.30am, and the last finishes around 5pm. Prices are reasonable at $390 for both days, and including bed and meals.
