Suzie Cheelon 15 Aug 2008 at 5:17 pm 1Would love to come, that weekend I have a reunion and a wedding in Sydney, sounds wonderful
Megan Twidleon 03 Sep 2008 at 8:32 pm 2Hi Carole, Absolutely LOVE the sound of these retreats….. especially the chocolate therapy…..hehehehe. Will check my diary to see if that weekend is available. I live very close to the Sunshine Coast venue and may have a friend or 3 who also needs some R & R.
Much Love, Megan
lauraon 04 Sep 2008 at 3:29 am 3Are there any offers or deals you could direct someone to on cheaper airfare from the states to Austrailia? I would love to go on a weekend retreat but the price of the plane ticket to get out there is ridiculous.
Healthy Livingon 04 Sep 2008 at 12:02 pm 4Hi Megan,
Brilliant. Remember there’s 5 places remaining. Fingers crossed the dates work for you.
Peace, love and chocolate
Carole
Healthy Livingon 04 Sep 2008 at 12:05 pm 5Hi Laura,
It’s a long way to Australia and depending on which part of America you are coming from it can be even longer.
Your best bet would be to come along to a 5 day Bali or 7 day Tuscany rejuvenation retreat. It’s better value for your flying dollar.
At the moment there are no on-line sites that I can recommend for flying out of America. I will ask around though.
Peace, love and chocolate
Carole
Bethon 18 Jan 2009 at 1:57 am 6Oh Wow, this is really something to aim for!
I need to put these photos on my vision board and focus on growing my small business enough that I can actually afford to take a retreat like this in the next year or two - to celebrate my success, of course! And I’ll deserve a restful retreat because getting to that point is going to require a serious amount of elbow grease.
The Wednesday rejuvenation circle gets me thinking, I don’t know why I haven’t made a dedicated corner of my home to bring a bit of that into my life. As it is I meditate regularly but I’m a bit sloppy about it - doing it irregularly, usually in a reclining pose where I then fall asleep. I may not be in a position to escape to a beautiful location for a retreat but I could swing a dedicated Zen corner in my home. Don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner!
Kirstyon 20 Jan 2009 at 9:22 am 7Hi Carole,
Just wondering if you have any places available for your weekend retreat in the Sunshine Coast on 24th & 25th October 09. I am very interested. I think i might shout myself this trip (being kind to ones self)
Also what flight would i get from melbourne to get there?
Kind Regards Kirsty
Leonieon 24 Mar 2009 at 4:33 pm 8Hi Carole,
I have been wanting to do one of your bali retreat for years now. I had done a space clearing workshop with you on the Gold Coast years ago. It looks like I will have to have a knee operation soon, but at the moment I do not have any dates yet so I am unable to make to many plans into the near distant future.
Is there any places left for the Bali retreat. I have been thinking that if I can not get to Bali that I might be able to do the Sunshine Coast retreat. So could you please tell me if there is any places left.
I was in Bali last month and bought myself a beauitful (temple) bell for my meditation. It has the most beauitful sound.
Thank you again
Leonie
Evelyne COLLEon 29 Jun 2009 at 8:38 pm 9Bonjour de Nouvelle Caledonie,
I have been thinking of coming to one of your retreat to Bali for some time now. I have to sell few paintings and sculptures to get the money to join you.
Can’t wait to get the amazone essences.
Beauty and harmony to you from Evelyne
Neridaon 01 Sep 2009 at 10:58 am 10Hi Carole - I have only just stumbled across your lovely site in the search for a retreat and your Bali retreat sounds amazing…
I won’t be able to get there for September, but do you know if you will be running more retreats in 2010?
Hoping so…
Nerida
