People often say to us: "One day I'll do a retreat" or "I've often thought about doing a retreat."
We heard a great saying: "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago-the second best time is now."
This is true and also applies to retreats.
Retreats in planning for 2024
Sounds of silence: choose 2, 5 or 7day silent directed retreat.

Max will be running Choice Theory, Reality Therapy,
Lead Management, (CTRT&LM) in 2024 - dates to be confirmed.
One person cannot ‘make’ another person do anything that person chooses not to do.
This way of working with people (including ourselves)
helps us understand which of our basic needs we're trying
to meet & healthy ways to get there.
If you engage with people in any capacity,
it is a helpful tool for:
Working through relationships with family or neighbours, and/or
Youth workers, Family workers,
Teachers, (of all ages)
Community workers, Managers, Social workers,
Well-being teachers, Counsellors, Health workers,
Aged cared workers, Pastors, NDIS workers (in any role)...
.... you get the idea.

As we used to say at mayCARE Community Centre:
"It's good for ages 4- 104". (We trained all the volunteers in basic CTRT).
Find our more about Choice Theory at our resources pages or retreat and training pages.
ALSO:
We can run a retreat just for you, or you & a friend, or a group of friends, or you & your partner.

Our retreats (even creative ones) are for stepping back (not running away), to take stock of the now, learn new things, going deeper within before heading forward.
