Sr Magdalen entered the Benedictine Abbey at Jamberoo, NSW in 1996 and made her Solemn Monastic Profession in 2001. Since entering Sr Magdalen has studied for an MA (Theol.) which she completed in 2006 and has been certified in the formation of Prayer Companions program from Mary McKillop centre in North Sydney (1999). She has guided guests in spiritual direction for the last 21 years and has completed studies with the Global Online Benedictine Spiritual Direction Program, taught from BenetHill Monastery in Colorado USA, as ongoing formation in the area of spiritual direction. She is currently a member of the Global Online Benedictine Spiritual Direction Program team.
Since 1998, Sr Magdalen has led retreats and regular weekly meditation and centering prayer sessions for retreatants. During this time of Covid 19, Sr Magdalen has offered reflections which are posted on our website and is developing and offering online retreats.
Her Benedictine spirituality resonates within the perennial wisdom tradition and she is passionate about engaging in spiritual conversation which can explore the depths of our tradition and provide affirmation, encouragement and practical tips, for those engaged on the journey of contemplative spiritual exploration and practice. As chantress her love of music and song finds expression in the praise and prayer offered in the Divine Office and she is privileged to have the care of one of our dogs, beautiful Keira, our five-year-old German Shepherd.
