Welcome to the MARK Centre

Embracing a lifestyle of listening to God

The MARK Centre exists to help lead people to intimate places with God where his voice can be heard

We do this through a variety of ways including hosting retreats, offering spiritual direction, training & teaching on listening to God, and the MARK Centre Chalet, which can be booked for individual or group retreats.

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.

Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.

Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
— Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)
