Turn up your speakers to hear our message.

You might be emotionally hurting, or needing to refocus and re-assess your priorities. Or maybe you have an illness and need 'time out' to help your healing to happen. Whatever the reason, Heartland Retreat, just two hours north of Brisbane, is sure to replenish your love of life ! Are you wanting to simply get away from everything and everyone for five blissful days of being nurtured – physically ( by our yummy vegetarian cuisine) , mentally ( by our self empowerment talks which help you to gain an new perspective on your life) and spiritually ( by learning to meditate and connect to your own inner voice) Are you wanting to undertake 5 days of private inner work? Would you like to minimise depression naturally? Do you lack energy and easily fatigue? Do you never seem to have enough peace to achieve the life you seek? Would you like to improve your tranquility and harmony? In setting new goals do you find yourself frustrated by patterns of self-sabotage? Would you simply like to refocus and refresh yourself? Do you find yourself repeating negative patterns of behaviour that you want to stop? Do you have emotional addictions or habits that you are addicted to – that you just can’t seem to kick? Do you suffer from cancer or some other debilitating illness? Are you hurting?

          Allow your guided visit to feed the dolphins to help you
                       heal and refocus your life’s purpose.
 
 
Our Healing Renewals are 5 days of spiritual wholeness and refocus. Guests are entirely free to take part in (or decline) any activity. We strive to ensure our entire program is gentle, non-threatening and is never intrusive in any way.
 
During these five days you can reconnect more deeply with the true "You".

Scott from the US joined one of our programs In March 2011... I did not know what to expect at Heartland. What I found was Les is a first class inspirational speaker and is comparable to those you find in the media and at speaking engagements. In fact he is very hands on. Besides his lectures he is with you all the time, even picking me up at the train station. At Heartland, I came to find that Les, Trudi and the staff, really care about you and are not going through the motions. I am hard pressed to remember more gracious hosts. Besides all that, their methods of perspective change actually work. I entered a half glass half empty guy and left a glass half full. My thanks over flow. Love, Laughs and Hugs Scott S.

Received 27th August 2009.... Dear Les & Trudi Since arriving back from your heavenly retreat, I have tried so many times, to so many friends, to explain what it was like....but no words can adequately describe the calmness, the peace, the love, the safety, the teachings, Oh.....and the glorious food, the art lessons, the meditations, the singing....the hugging and laughter....the beautiful, beautiful people. My sister and I chose Heartland because we knew we needed some time out. We were stuck in a place of grief, anger, guilt and hurt........our spirits were fading. We couldn't move forward.......we'd forgotten who we were....and that we were all connected. We knew it intellectually - but we just didn't 'get it' so that we could live it. Immediately on arrival, we could feel the loving energy and knew we had come to the right place. Each day was a wonderful blessing, slowly, tentatively, we learnt how to connect to the spirit within and remember who we are. Les - you truly live & breathe your passion - to see all as God. Your laughter helped us remember the joy in life. We have learnt so much from listening to your talks. You have an innate sense of how to help us all with your stories. They resonate and therefore enlighten us all. Your meditations are miraculous. I have done many healing meditations before but none have ever had the effect that yours have. Every morning I do one of your meditations and I immediately recapture the energy of Heartland and it helps me to connect to all that I am. Trudi - your beingness was a joy to watch and your food was just amazing. Thank you for planting the seed of creativity within us once again. Nick, Kellie, Kim & Zoe - thank you for your boundless supply of beautiful smiles and nourishment. The singing bowls & drumming were so much fun even if we are still trying to find our 'rhythm'. I now have my little bit of heaven I can return to every time I meditate, everytime I forget for an instant who I am - I return to Heartland. It is a memory that will always be with me - will always bring a smile to my face - and I hope to return home for another visit. Love & Blessings name and address withheld as a courtesy.

I had a fantastic time with you all.....you have really changed my life in many ways.   Lyndsie, May 2010, from western NSW. "I have had the absolute pleasure to spend a week long healing retreat at Heartland Retreat for the third time in 3 years in March 2010. I have felt the drawing of this sanctuary, which is like a second home, for the healing of my emotions, mind, body & spirit and to create a more sacred relationship with myself, others and the Universe, and each time my experience of Heartland has been nothing less than incredible. The environment is so peaceful, calm yet energising, the Dyer family welcoming, warm, accepting, treating all as their own family. I thoroughly enjoyed so many things ... my private room with comfy bed, the fresh organic fruits & veges, tasty & healthy meals, relaxed pace, inspirational talks, meditations in the temple, singing, laughing, connection, peace, tranquility ... the list goes on ... all at very reasonable cost. I really appreciate Trudi's God-given gifts to create so many beautiful artworks, especially the huge Buddha on the outside of the newly painted Temple. They create a so much beauty and serenity of Heartland. Trudi takes the time and effort to teach a whole bunch of people how to express themselves through the medium of art and gives them the pleasure creating something beautiful that they can take home. Les is a wise spiritual leader and guide, an inspiration and a very loving and warm person who welcomes and treats everybody exactly the same, with love and kindness. He has a very deep understanding of people, and is truly walking his talk ... living his truth and purpose in this life. Bless you all for being a part of my journey." With lots of love, Debbie H, Hornsby NSW, March 2010

More about the workshop

Attendance is optional and free.

We offer you the space to refocus or heal – with non-intrusive support during your program.

 
We can also offer you authentic spiritual guidance to ensure your stay is as productive as possible.
 
Healing comes from within ourselves. It isn't separate from us. Our health (which includes our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing) is almost entirely up to us - we are powerful spiritual beings enjoying a physical existence. Our standard of physical health can be seen as an indicator of our emotional and mental health as our bodies are truly barometers of our whole being.

Our program helps you to connect to the Power Within and own your greatness and power to heal. Through group sessions, private work, meditations, visualisations, creative expression, psychotherapy, spiritually guided healing sessions and individual transformative work – all optional, free inclusions - you will have the opportunity to access vast reservoirs of healing energy.

Our kitchen offers the freshest organic meals and juices. Meals are temptingly delicious and fresh organic wherever possible. Special diets (including raw foods) are available during this program.
 
Start your personal renewal with a 48 hour organic juice detox (recommended) and enjoy the country hospitality of Heartland Retreat! Rest, Relaxation, Reflection and Renewal all help to honour the real you, clear past issues that are holding you back, refocus on your future, resolve the past, release stress and repair your body, your feelings and your thoughts.
 
You will enjoy your own private air conditioned room, in one of our three cute cottages with shared bathroom facilities, with our super comfortable king single or double bed ensembles. Windows look out at the beautiful gardens and over towards our 80 acre wildlife sanctuary.
 
When not tasting our fine food, you can enjoy browsing our 3,500 volume spiritual and healing library, relaxing with a massage, having a professional Therapy session, relaxing in the gardens, visiting our donkey sanctuary or taking part in one of our regular spiritual healing or meditation groups.

What to expect during your 5 day stay at Heartland.

Monday

We recommend that you plan your arrival to be between 9.00 am and 11.00 am (Sunday night stays are available if you are travelling a long way, bookings by prior arrangement and incur an additional charge of just $90+gst). The 5 Day Healing Renewal commences with a tasty vegetarian lunch at 1 pm on Monday.

Today is the start of your own healing. You may be coming to Heartland for some much-needed “time out” and that’s perfect for you. Or you may be healing from an illness, depression or perhaps you have lost your sense of purpose. Heartland will offer to assist you in any way we can.
On Monday you will learn why meditation is important for you – even those who practice meditation will still enjoy the first guided meditation session. There will be a brief group session in the afternoon, just to connect the group energy. We offer lots of different things during the week and you can choose what you would like to attend or you may like to enjoy a swim or to read a book. We don’t mind.

Tuesday
 
On Tuesday we begin our day by enjoying a fresh watermelon juice or lemon juice to kick start our alkalinity for the day. It’s a wonderful habit to get into, and you may like to start it whilst here at Heartland, ( it’s a much better way to start the day than with a cup of coffee!)

Learn the simple art of Tai Chi with Rob in the Temple and learn how to increase your own body “chi” before enjoying a yummy breakfast with our own Heartland free range eggs (and the birds really are free!) and delicious fruits of the season.

We then begin our day learning the importance of “mantras”. You do not have to have a great voice to enjoy mantras – and the science behind mantras is all explained by Les during this morning session. It is one not to be missed! Our ancestors knew way back then how important it was to learn how to focus the mind and find inner peace. Sharing our morning mantras will allow you to connect to that part of you.

Once we are in the “flow” of Heartland, we will enjoy another delicious meal together, Les will give a talk and Trudi will share some art with you. Again, you do NOT have to be an artist, or be “creative” at all!! In this exercise you will enjoy a step by step art class which will bring out the inner creator in you! It really is simple.
 
Wednesday
 
By now we're feeling totally relaxed and fully at home! We have connected to our peace and we are finding our joy!

We've read a little, meditated as a group, probably had a private massage or another treatment, done some great therapy work on clearing our emotional or mental blocks - and enjoyed some of the freshest meals ever! We're ready for some more creativity, or to listen to how we can change our perspectives, maybe go and feed the donkeys Click HERE for "Heartland's Donkey Sanctuary" or simply have a swim or enjoy the ambiance of Heartland. (And we will learn that Les is usually spot-on in connecting to the dolphins – which we look forward to visiting tomorrow (weather permitting).

Thursday
 
After a wonderful morning at Tin Can Bay (if it isn’t raining), we return to a scrumptious morning tea and the day unfolds by enjoying more of the Heartland programme.

It may be time for another group session, maybe another massage or healing before a deeply enriching meditation. We may well drive to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset before returning for another delicious meal and then some time in the sacred, spiritual space of the Inner Sanctum.

The only important thing is to continue to heal our body, mind, emotions and soul.

Friday
 
Our final day of sharing! We have learnt some wonderful tools to help us in our lives, we have begun to connect to our higher selves, we have perhaps found our passion and purpose, we have reconnected with our hearts, we are relaxed and enjoying ourselves during our final time together.

We may enjoy chakradance, we may have a drumming session, we may meditate to the sounds of the crystal bowls…. but no matter what we do this morning it will be a coming together of ourselves and our lives. We have learnt that we truly are more than we ever thought!!! We are able to create a new life for ourselves!

And then after a final yummy lunch it’s time to travel home … taking our new zest for wholeness, happiness and the celebration of life with us!

Please Note:
We have used the words “we may do this… we may do that” simply because our 5 day Healing Renewals are never exactly the same (which is why many guests continue to come back time and time again).
While our program is loosely structured (so we can all plan our day and meal times etc..), we try to be “flexible” for the different needs of the guests that come to Heartland.
The talks that Les gives will be different depending on the needs of the group – and each group tends to have its own unique “energy” that really is guided by the Universe and has nothing to do with us as the facilitators.
We simply observe that the Universe brings people together for certain reasons, often being for the healing of each person within the group.
Les & Trudi
