Testimonials

"Promoting gentle, spiritually centered living, while honoring and celebrating unity, harmony, peace among all and diverse sacred expression, meant Stonecircle Interfaith Community was a natural venue choice for our inaugural Australian /New Zealand Interfaith ministers retreat in 2017. John and Michele, and a few community members, went above and beyond expectations in preparation for our arrival and accommodating our needs, over a four day period. Their generous hospitality, beautiful property, venue, facilities and delicious catering, meant the time we spent in retreat, nourished us in every way - body, mind, heart and spirit. Such was our great joy at being able to use Stonecircle for our annual sabbatical, we have decided to use the venue in 2019 and look forward to maintaining our connection with this wonderful property and community well into the future."

“What a gift it is to be apart of Stonecircle, to have this haven to retreat to. I've found Stonecircle to be a place where you are actively encouraged to be yourself.Through endless smiles and laughs I've had the pleasure of expanding my spiritual practice and developed relationships that will stay in my heart forever. Through challenges and successes this community has been my spiritual home, my cheerleaders, my family. Thank you so much for all you have brought to my life.. Love and blessings,”

“I have attended some beautiful rituals and gatherings at Stonecircle Interfaith Community and have valued and cherished the feeling of love and 'being held' by both Rev Michele and her partner John. The sacred is blended with joy, song, dance and great food! I really appreciate their love, passion and genuine care for all who attend their gatherings. And the grounds in which they host the gatherings is stunning; I especially enjoy being able to walk the Labyrinth. With love and gratitude."

“Stonecircle Interfaith Community provides a place of sharing, support and inspiration for whomsoever is fortunate enough to cross the threshold of the Stonecircle Yurt! When we re-located to Amberley one and a half years ago, we attended the Interfaith gatherings and met like-minded people living nearby. This gift of a warm, welcoming community made our move to Amberley smooth and delightful. We continue to attend the monthly gatherings because they offer the chance to sing, to dance, to share with others and each month Reverend Michele informs and inspires us with a variety of subjects related to the deepest searchings of the human spirit.”

“Of Love, Light & Laughter (the 3 L's to cast a spell); a meander through the labyrinth, diving deep to investigate the shadow; returning to chant, music & song; in the Stonecircle we meet, dancing to the beat of our soul as we journey on our way with LOVE in our hearts for ALL - thank you dear Michele & John. Namaste”

“Stone Circle Interfaith Community is truly all-inclusive. Rev Michelle & her husband John, share a wonderful unique gentle natural environment where they create & hold space time & time again . As you come through the farm gates you feel the embrace of safety, sanctity & loving support. There's a silent knowingness of acceptance for whatever stage of enlightenment you are at or not at. There's plenty of room to just breathe & grow.”

“Stone Circle has emerged as my spiritual home. The place where I feel most connected with myself and the beauty of nature. It's also a hub for some of the most valuable people and events I have in my life - so much so that I decided to live there! Much gratitude."

“I’m blessed to have been a member of the Stonecircle community for several years and regularly attend the Monday meetings and Monthly Gatherings. Reverend Michelle is the gentle driving force behind a group of non-judgmental people who encourage me to pursue my own faith, whilst John enhances the meetings with practical warmth and wisdom. The group offers support, laughter and is an overhanging branch to cling to when the stream of life becomes an overwhelming torrent. It’s a safe haven where I come up for air, rest, rejuvenate and discover strength in weakness."

Lynn

“I’ve been going to Interfaith gatherings each month for a couple of years and thoroughly enjoy being in the company of a spiritually minded community. As a Baha’i, I feel quite comfortable and very welcome, and on several occasions the rest of our local Baha’i community has also been able to join in and contribute to the programme. If it brings a diverse bunch of people together, and a deeper understanding of our religions and cultures develops, long may Interfaith continue."

Paul

“I feel blessed to be a small part of our interfaith community. No matter what one believes or what one's path is, everyone is welcomed with open arms and genuine, unconditional love. I have learned so much about acceptance, love, spiritual growth, guidance and other paths and have met people from all walks of life who are all seeking, and finding, their spiritual truth. Thank you, Michele for all of your hard work, friendship and love.”

Karen

“I come because there are no 'musts' here. The spiritual practices offered, particularly the music just seem to work for me. Quiet time in my busy life can be rare so its great to make it part of my routine. My children love to come and have been made so welcome. They seem to feel good here too. I am so grateful to have Stonecircle on my doorstep.”
