The Gawler Foundation - Yarra Valley Living Centre

After completing the Outsmart Cancer Retreat I feel so much better about my future. At the retreat no stone is left unturned. I learnt how to turn my body into a cancer beating, anti-inflammatory machine and all in a fun and friendly environment.

After reading Ian Gawler's book, You Can Conquer Cancer, I knew I needed to make changes in my life. Attending the Cancer Retreat was the best thing I could have done. The staff are beautiful, the food was wonderful (even more so as your taste buds adjust to the changes) and the property and meditation room just gorgeous. The experience and knowledge of Liz, Steph and Craig was amazing and the genuine care and love for each of us was very touching. I have seriously taken on this way of life and feel enthused and excited for my future. I can't thank them all enough!

I was able to tour this facility a few months ago, beautiful peaceful surrounds and the staff were comforting and inspiring. The library was well stocked on topics difficult to find generally.

Had a truly inspiring 7 days at Gawler Retreat - Reclaim the Joy with Ruth Gawler and Melissa Borich. I can thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to "re-set" and take some time to look after yourself. The food was amazing, the yoga was fantastic and the meditation was challenging but inspired me to continue.

I experienced the Mindfulness meditation retreat facilitated by Daniel Cerny. Beautiful surroundings, kind and thoughful staff who go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable. Daniel was wonderful, full of knowledge, patient with everyones needs, provided plenty of space for each and every person to connect with their own centre and to start the healing process. The food was delicious and mostly came from the beautiful gardens on site.

I will definately visit again.

I attended the mindfulness based stillness meditation Foundation Teacher Training 2019 with Paul and Maia and found it both personally and professionally enriching and would highly recommend this.
