Veritas in the Valley

Living the Charism today

An adult Dominican formation experience

Tallong Campus | Saturday 23 to Sunday 24 May 2026

Veritas in the Valley is a two day adult Dominican formation experience for ex-students, current and former parents and members of the wider community seeking time for reflection, prayer and deeper engagement with how the Dominican charism can be lived meaningfully in the modern world.

Set within the natural beauty and stillness of Tallong, the College’s Outdoor Education and Retreat Campus, the experience invites participants to step away from the pace of daily life and enter a rhythm of contemplation, grounded in the four Dominican pillars.

Across the weekend, participants will engage with presentations, workshops, shared meals, quiet reflection, a bush liturgy and conversations, encountering the Dominican tradition not simply as heritage, but as a living charism that continues to offer wisdom, challenge and hope.

Through the guidance of experienced presenters, participants will explore what it means to live Veritas today: truth expressed through faith, justice, contemplation, creativity and service.

Presenters include: Sr Elizabeth Hellwig op, Sr Sheila Flynn op and Jenni Hickson.

Each offers a distinct and complementary perspective on living the
Dominican charism in contemporary life.

When: Saturday 23 May to Sunday 24 May 2026
