Fundamental themes of Carmelite spirituality emerge in the story of the human heart. These themes reveal a spiritual dynamism at the core of the Carmelite life which can be described as “seasons of the heart.”
Exploring a Spiritual Dynamic of the Carmelite Way
Carmelite Conversations throughout 2026 will explore these “seasons of the heart” as a way of facilitating spiritual journeys. There are five seasons identified in this exploration:
1 A longing heart – a desire for God
2 An enslaved heart – the worship of false gods
3 A listening heart – contemplative prayer
4 A troubled heart – the tragic life
5 A pure heart – the transformation of desire.
The session in April will be A Longing Heart – a desire for God. It will include Q&A, discussion and shared listening. It will be held in person at the Carmelite Centre Melbourne, 214 Richardson St Middle Park
