Wonderful, this is a great idea!!!
I have been counselling for close to 20yrs now and one of my dreams was to have a counsellors retreat centre which would incorporate all the relaxing and healing modalities (meditation, massage, reiki, art, music) as options incorporated into the cost with a minimum of a two day/night stay. Simple food and natural surroundings which included gentle exercising as well ie stretching, yoga. A place counsellors could go to just relax, heal, come back into their bodies and themselves and unwind periodically. This is sadly a very important and missing aspect of our industry. Maybe one day…. :) Keep it up! Unfortunately you are too far away for me.
Thanks for your comment Wendy you have captured the purpose and essence of our Camp. We also host them in Brisbane and Sydney.
