NSW Re-entry Retreat (RER) 2027
Transition is a time to grieve and share the loss of leaving and to have reflection on & discussion about change and adjusting to life in your new location in Australia. Whether you are returning to what was a familiar place, settling into a new location, or perhaps even coming to Australia for the first time, this re-entry program is for you.
The program is not just for adults but for whole families as well.
There is an exciting concurrent program for pre-schoolers/infants (3-7 yrs)] primary school kids (7-12 yrs) and high-schoolers (12-18 yrs).
There is also a program for young adults (18-25 yrs) who may be MKs who have come to live in Australia with or without their families. The program for young adults will include separate times as a young adults’ group but also opportunities to interact with the adults and teens.
Please note, unfortunately, there is no creche for infants (under 3 yr olds). You will have to make your own arrangements for the care of any infants (eg. a grandparent or other carer coming in each day). Carers can book in for meals (extra cost), but depending on numbers, there is no guarantee that separate accommodation will be available for them – please contact the RER team if this applies to your situation. If accommodation was available, it would be charged at the Child rate (meals included).
One of the most encouraging things about this retreat is being with others who have gone through and understand the life of transitions, change and service in a cross-cultural setting. That is true for kids as well as adults. The other is having time with God to process things. This retreat offers you time alone with him (directed & un-directed) and time to talk with a facilitator, as well as time for fellowship with others.
There is no correct time to come on RER. However, experience has shown us that it is usually most helpful at between 6-18 months after returning/arriving, but we recognise that for various reasons that is not always possible, so routinely accept people from 3-24 months after returning/arriving to Australia. If you are outside that wider time-range please contact the RER team at the email below to chat first before registering as we want to make sure it is going to be helpful for you.
Most of the RER facilitator team have also been on the field as missionaries or as MKs, including the kids team leaders.
