Soul & Spirit
Visit these spiritual sites below for your chance to explore another side of South Australia.
Sevenhill Cellars
A venerable winery next to a beautiful church and retreat centre in vineyards dotted with shrines and heritage buildings. Established by the Jesuits in 1851. The body and the spirit are tended here in a blend you won't find anywhere else in Australia.
Mary MacKillop Penola Centre
Breathe in the spirit of the woman who will be Australia's first saint. Mary Mackillop started the first Australian order of nuns, the Sisters of St Joseph, here. She was a woman of great courage, love and resourcefulness - some say you can feel her presence here.
Shrine of Our Lady of Yankalilla
Many people believe they have seen an image of the Madonna near the altar of this tiny gem of a church. It has become a place of pilgrimage and you will sense the powerful presence of all those who have come to bring gifts of art and petitions for healing.
St Peters Anglican Cathedral
If you want to know how South Australians feel about their place, you won't find a better place to come than this magnicent and well-sited church. It features a superb series of contemporary stained glass windows blending biblical imagery with the culture and landscapes of our place to express a truly local spirituality.
De-Tong Ling Retreat Centre
If you seek the best of the Buddhist meditative tradition within the tranquillity of Kangaroo Island, then this steadily growing retreat centre will appeal to you. At its heart is a Enlightenment Stupa.
