to hear our message.

Heartland is a retreat that offers quality
at an amazingly affordable price.

There are no prerequisites to visiting Heartland.

A recent guest shared a story with us today…. That she is able to share her experience of Heartland with everyone that she knows because we embrace people from all walks of life.
You do not have to be a yoga devotee, or a follower of some religious doctrine or disciplined in some practice or ritual that is often part of other organisations. So long as you want to get in touch with your own heart, then Heartland may be for you.

Here at Heartland we try to come from our hearts. We express our hearts in the best way that we are able.
 
Les says that nothing matters except love. Love is the highest truth. Love is the way. Love is our way.

We hope to welcome you to Heartland.

This 80 acre wildlife sanctuary offers relaxing and revitalizing
weekend getaways from an extraordinarily low $295.

Yes, you read correctly – from $295!

Arriving Friday night you’ll be pampered until Sunday afternoon – and you can even book an extra night with supper and breakfast for a mere $75 more.

Our 5 Day Healing Renewals are half their real value at just $795!

And our residential 5-Day Healing Renewal programs are an incredible $795
(fully inclusive!) until October 31st, 2010.
Bring a friend and we’ll take $100 off the total account!
 
These aren’t prices you’d expect from a normal retreat – but Heartland isn’t normal. It’s more like an eastern spiritual ashram –with western material conveniences.


  
Here’s what one of our  guests wrote to us ...
 
"With the beautiful surrounds, Viv’s wonderful meals, warm friendly people who made me feel like family and the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone through creativity, meditation and inner work, I can’t thank Les and Trudi enough for the experience at Heartland Retreat.. I never thought coming back to my everyday life with work, the rush of the City and responsibilities would be any different, but I can honestly say the benefits I gained at Heartfelt have followed me back home. I take extra time each day to slow down, appreciate life as it is, have compassion for others and things that distress me, and my work as a psychologist is taking on a much more spiritual direction. I think everyone’s heart needs a little heartland!"

And when we say pampered we mean pampered with private zen-styled serviced rooms (air-conditioned), fine vegetarian cuisine, fresh organic juices and the opportunity to indulge in optional extras such as a massage, a Bowen Therapy session, a channeled reading or a spiritual healing.
  
 
  
  
Heartland’s kitchen regime is based around some seventy designer-salad and raw food dishes, many organic in season. There’s also a full range of beverages from lemongrass and herbals right through to percolated coffees.
 
      
 
 
You’ll also be pampered with wonderful meditations, inspiring metaphysical talks, empowering self-healing workshops and the chance to connect to the Power Within.

The Retreat’s founder and Spiritual Facilitator is Les Dyer, an internationally recognized spiritual Teacher, Healer and Author who has been at the forefront of the Australian spiritual movement for over twenty years. He has facilitated over seven hundred retreats and spiritual workshops across Australia alone.

You can also indulge in watercolour or oil painting, some claywork or hebel block sculpting. Heartland offers creative classes, believing that self-expression is one of our most effective healing processes.
 
           
 

There’s a 3,500 book library to browse, full of spiritual, healing and self-empowerment volumes and there’s even an organic macadamia orchard and a donkey sanctuary at the Retreat, too.


Many of our programs include free visits to feed
the dolphins.

These programs address everything from detoxing to quitting self-limiting sabotage habits inherited from childhood. The program is always popular due to word of mouth. It’s ideal for anyone needing to refocus their life, repair their relationships, resolve their past or repair a serious or debilitating illness.
 
As with other Heartland offerings, you enjoy your own private serviced room (air-conditioned), a daily program that’s individually designed for you, daily group sessions and lots of time to refresh yourself. Guests often visit the dolphins, enjoy picnic lunch on mountain-tops or refresh with a swim in a mountain pool. Intensive 5-day organic full juice detox programs are available, complete with remedial massage for just $995. All programs can be extended to ensure optimum support for the guest (some choose to stay up to a month).

Heartland also offers a full 12-Day residential Transformation Program for intensive spiritual development, healing and self-empowerment. This runs every second month.
It includes significant guided inner work and extensive therapy sessions/meditations/spiritual exercises in remedial resolution, psychic clearing, spiritual visioning, embracement, wholeness practices, one-ness realization, etc.

It also includes significant one-on-one work to ensure optimum transformation.

It is ideal for those suffering long-term illness, depression or self-sabotage behaviours; as well as those simply seeking to substantially deepen their spiritual practices or change their life outcomes.

"The most amazingly positive experience I had recently - from start to finish – was when. I visited Heartland Retreat run by Les and Trudi Dyer. From my first email contact to the moment Les personally farewelled me, this couple and this retreat under-promised and over-delivered. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything and everyone was gracious, giving and reliable (as long as you understand that Les's time is oneish, twoish... you are told that upfront and it suits the nature and ethos of this gorgeous establishment)."

Read what one happy March 2008 guest experienced…

"Thank you for opening your home and retreat to me, for your honesty, compassion and pearls of wisdom.
Not only did you wake me up again to the love of Self but you taught me techniques/understandings for clearing blocks and connecting with my Higher Self and the Divine through your simple, yet oh so powerful mediations and healing exercises.
Your wonderful talks and exercises were light yet spoke directly to my heart, and were filled with opportunities to learn and open up to the love, joy and delight which is Self.
I learnt to discriminate between “brain” (the tumultuous mix of emotions, misperceptions, general confusion!) and the mind which observes and is unchanging. What a blessing and a wonderful tool for a happier life. I appreciated the “big picture” of our place in this universe, the relationship with our own families and environment and your message of how to interact within it in a more purposeful and loving way. The exercises exploring relationships were a revelation which explained much in my own personal dynamic and opened my heart to heal.
A few days after arriving home, it is wonderful to observe the subtle changes which I intend to honour. Discontent and frustration has been replaced with delight and gratitude. Truly a new perspective.
I feel more at peace. I have faith again. Blessings indeed. I am so grateful for this opportunity ….Thanks and love to Les, Trudi and family."

Are you seeking to find a sense of inner peace and wholeness? Would you like to heal your body, mind or emotions? Would you like to discover your inner child or inner artist?
 
Heartland offers you the peace and ambience we all desire today to discover our true Self. Here, you will be able to :-

  • heal your body, thoughts and emotions,
  • center your being on the Divine within,
  • re-focus on your inner life,
  • refine your purpose,
  • replenish your spirit,
  • deepen your awareness and
  • find peace and wholeness.


We offer you a place where you may find love, healing, real acceptance and spiritual wisdom.
 
 

We are all spiritual beings having a physical existence. We simply need to connect to the Power within and live it. That may be easy to say, but for most of us to live in a state of higher awareness is not possible all the time. We have moments of being awake and moments when we are almost asleep and simply reacting as we always have…. not consciously aware that at this moment we could make a new choice, we could express our higher selves.
 
We welcome you to share in our vision of celebrating life and making this world a better place for all to share!
 
With Love & Blessings,
 
 

Les & Trudi Dyer
 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS….

WHY DID YOU START HEARTLAND?
We started Heartland in order to offer people a place where they could feel safe; and work on any problem or situation they had in their life within a beautiful environment.

We did it mindful that everyone appreciates fine food, cleanliness, service, safety and all those little touches that make going away special – but not everyone can either afford five star luxury (or wants to pay for it).

So we try to offer the very best of both worlds.

WHY ALL THE BUDDHA'S EVERYWHERE? ARE YOU BUDDHIST?
No we’re not.

The sculptures and paintings of the Buddha's are created by Trudi and are her representations of peace and bliss.

She says she’ll be working on Jesus’ sculptures next!

IS HEARTLAND A CHRISTIAN RETREAT?
No, not in the orthodox sense; but yes, we follow the teachings of Jesus.

We don’t see Jesus as a saviour, but rather as a World Teacher.

WHY IS HEARTLAND CHEAPER THAN OTHER RETREATS?
There are four answers.

Firstly, we’re not ‘glitzy’ but more homely, more like a big friendly ‘b&b”.

Secondly, we don’t charge for our workshops or private consults like most places.

Nothing at all.

So you only pay for the food and accommodation.

It’s our way of offering service.

Thirdly, we don’t have the high administrative overheads of most retreats.

We’re a family concern.

Lastly, we’re not profit-driven (although naturally we do need to cover costs, plan developments for the comfort of guests and still be able to offer significant help to humanitarian projects across the globe).

DO GUESTS HAVE THEIR OWN ROOM?
Yes, with air conditioning, heating and quality furnishings (including double or king-single commercially laundered ensembles).

DO GUESTS HAVE TO TAKE PART IN THE PROGRAMS YOU RUN?
Certainly not.

You can simply lounge around the library – or even spend the week in the Art Shed!

All workshops and activities are optional.

WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY AT HEARTLAND?
You enjoy your own private room with shared bathroom facilities (one double room with ensuite is available for couples or those requiring extra privacy).

All meals, all workshops both on self-empowerment and healing, all talks, daily meditations and mantras, all art and creative classes are all included in our special package prices.

WHAT IS A SPIRITUAL RETREAT?
It’s a place where you can refocus, heal, empower yourself, connect to the Divine ‘within” – and generally have a good time without having to agree to any dogma.

WHICH AIRPORT DO YOU PICK UP FROM?
Sunshine Coast (Maroochy) Airport.

We also pick up from Coach and Rail stations.

CAN WE COME ANYTIME?
Our programs start on a set day, often on a Monday.

However, sometimes we can offer guests longer term private stays during which they partly look after themselves. Please enquire if seeking a private retreat.

IS HEARTLAND NEAR SHOPS?
Gympie is about 8kms away and boasts four supermarkets, Big W, Harvey Norman, Lincraft, etc….

DOES HEARTLAND HAVE A POOL, TENNIS COURT AND SAUNA?
We’re a developing retreat. Yes, we do have a Sauna.

The pool is still on our “wish list” and instead of a tennis court we have a macadamia orchard, a donkey sanctuary and walks across almost endless rolling green hills….

IS HEARTLAND A CULT?
Good grief, no!

We are totally opposed to cults.

You couldn’t even join us if you wanted to!

There’s nothing to join to.
