The Archer

The Archer, a place for Earth Centred Spirituality, is a collaborative adventure of the Christian Brothers and the Sisters of Saint Joseph. The Archer consists of 22 acres at the foot of Mt Archer (aboriginal name: “Buruja” meaning “Edible Grub”) with views across the Stanley River Valley to the Conondale Ranges, Glasshouse Mountains and Kilcoy Hills.

The Archer offers an opportunity for you to take some time to stop and explore who you are and where you are on your journey through life. Touch your story, feel the grass between your toes, meet the mountain, smell the earth, taste good food.
