About the retreat

There is a morning and evening retreat which we suggest everyone attend but it's not compulsory. Most people arrive at the retreat from lunchtime Monday. This is a free day. On Tuesday we start working together and generally there will be a 2.5 hour session in the morning and another 2.5 hour session in the afternoon. Training sessions are held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Depending upon the needs of the group there may be another session on the Friday morning. Most people leave after lunch on the Friday.

So, if you are booking flights you need to fly into Queensland's sunshine coast airport (Marooychdore). Heartland is about an hour's drive north of the airport, you will be picked up and dropped back to the airport.

Book flights to arrive around lunch time or early afternoon on the Monday. Book a Friday afternoon flight, from 3 o'clock onwards.

You are welcome to arrive early or stay on after the training and there will be an additional charge for this. Additional accommodation would need to be booked and paid directly with Heartland. Your accommodation and meals for the 5 days of training are included in the course fee.

Students are also welcome to join a trip to feed the dolphins, participate in art, sculpt or read any books from the 3000 book library.

A fantastic vegetarian cuisine is offered and if you have any special dietary needs you will need to let Heartland know about them prior to your visit.
