We would love to introduce you (from left to right) to Carron, Oreen and Bereel.

These three now carry the torch as Retreat Coordinators for Te Waiora House. In this role, they will lead retreats in areas they feel called to, while also working alongside spiritual directors and group leaders to help facilitate their time at the house. We're very excited and grateful to God to have the three of them involved and living on site!

Over the coming days, we will introduce you to them here on this page. If you'd like to read more yourself, check out our updated website: https://www.tewaiorahouse.org.nz/
