Network for Spiritual Direction Inc.
Melbourne Region
Meetings are held at Holy
Trinity Anglican Church East Melbourne (on the corner of Clarendon and Hotham Streets) with a BYO lunch - tea & coffee available.
A donation of $20 per session is suggested to help cover our costs.
Meetings are from 10.00am - 3.00pm.
Car parking is tricky in this area. Hotham Street has a one hour limit; Clarendon St has two hour meters, Wellington St has some four hour meters. The Hilton Hotel and the Mercy Hospital have some public car parking available for a fee. Public transport is best if you can arrange it. The Vermont South tram from the city travels along Flinders Street and Wellington Parade and you alight at the Hilton Hotel.
