8 Days "Renew You" Private Retreat Sunshine Coast
This was a journey, a journey I never thought I would take. :-) One day I was looking through the phonebook for a club. I was feeling so down that day and my eyes immediately went to Renew Health Retreat and it just happened to be a Retreat for Depression and Anxiety, and it was exactly what I needed. When I rang the phone number, this lovely voice answered the phone and I immediately felt at ease and she told me all about it and I immediately said "yes I will go." I arrived Anxious and cold and I was immediately sat down on a beautiful couch, covered with a lovely rug and a cup of tea was made for me. I could write forever about my experience, though I only have a limited page. The learnings took me to a place I never dreamed I would get to, a place where my Anxiety and Depression seemed to disappear. I know that they will come back at times, and I have been taught many tools and strategies to move on from them when they do. I know I need to concentrate on breathing, as it is a very important part of recovery. My mentors, Jaye and Craig, took me on such a journey that I can go away feeling safe, calm and happy. I know that they are only a phonecall away and their teachings gave me the courage to face life once leaving the retreat. So Thank You Jaye and Craig for giving me my life back! Thank you for the beautiful, comfortable accommodation, surrounded by nature. It really topped it off.
