Feel calmed by the surrounding gardens, lawns, flowers and wild life. Minutes from Hepburn Springs Reserve and Gold field tracks for a bush walk in the fresh country air.
Be nurtured with simple yet delicious meals, sourced locally, seasonal and organic where possible. All meals vegetarian.
Option of massage or traditional Turkish hammam booked prior to arrival.
: What is Slow Rest :
Slow rest is the practice of deep restorative relaxation.
Slow rest is a unique fusion of gentle seated body awareness movements, deep rest postures (restorative yoga), calming breath practices, restorative rituals and therapeutic touch (reiki).
All deep rest shapes are done laying on your mat with the support of bolsters, blankets, eye pillows and weighted sandbags to help the body feel safe and supported so the relaxation process can begin.
Weighting the body is a delicious key element of slow rest, as it helps to profoundly calm the body. Settle restless and agitated energy. Support nervous system repair.
Additionally, you’ll be energetically supported by Carole, with aromatherapy, reiki, healing touch, flower essences, botanical sprays, and cbg + cbd gummies to fortify your overall well being.

Hi Carole,
My cousin’s wife, Michelle Quade, has contacted you today mentioning that we would like to join the July 24 retreat. I am one of the 4 people mentioned in her email and she has just phoned me tonight to tell me about it. ( As she mentioned, we are all in need of some rest and quite reflective time)
I would love to make a deposit and would like to do it by internet banking – direct debit if that is possible.
Kind regards
Megan Flakelar

What is the cost of the retreat, and approximate cost of flying from AZ, USA to Bali? Thank you. Carol

Hi! I’m interested in the Retreat (it would most likely be for the September one if there is still room), but I would like to hear from previous attendees, reviews and references, that kind of thing. If you could have them post, or put me into contact with them, that would be great. Thanks!
Hi Laurel,
Yes, you are in luck there are a couple of spots left (at the moment) for the September 2012 retreat.
I’ve sent you an email so hopefully it arrives safe and sound.
Peace, love and chocolate, Carole
Hello,
I would like to know if you have a retreat schedule in October and if there is still room left by any chance?
Many thanks
Flo
Hello,
I was wondering when your earliest retreat is next year? I would like to go on a Bali retreat with my partner, but we can’t seem to get around work or study for the rest of the year.
Thanks in advance!
Namaste,
Nicole
Do you still have anything available for The retreat in January (Bali)?
For two people.
Thank you.

I am in the USA. What would be a total cost plus air fare for two. I would like to start saving. I am a three time cancer survivor but I am struggling with fibromyalgia and spinal arthritis. I need this.
