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.
Cooling Off
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. |

Robyn spent a week with
us in November 09...
"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. |
