The Embracing Change retreat Faye facilitated in Lorne recently was truly transformational. Taking a long weekend to purely focus on myself, my purpose, goals and how to live a more vulnerable and authentic life was just what I needed at this time. This weekend with Faye helped me gain clarity about what I need to focus on next in my life and what is most important to me. All of the activities and other facilitators Faye organised were fantastic - the art therapy, reflection exercises, yoga, meditation and five senses dance session. I also met an incredible group of like-minded ladies who have kept in touch since the retreat. Not to mention, the venue was beautiful and the food was amazing! I'd recommend this retreat to anyone who needs time to focus on themselves, in a warm, calm, like-minded environment.

Immersive and Transformational This was the first time I've been on a retreat so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the four days were absolutely transformative for me. The content curated and facilitated by Faye across the four days (with Isabella and Fleur also), was relevant to all areas of my life - work, home, family and my relationship with myself. The information was informative, clear and incredibly interesting. There was opportunity for deep introspection and reflection, broken up with art exercises that allowed the thinking to settle into answers. The retreat allowed me to understand myself better, and the four days were a perfect opportunity to be totally immersed in the work, environment and learning. Faye is incredible and generous. I would recommend this to anyone (even remotely) considering it.

I'm leaving with a heart full of gratitude and a mind brimming with new perspectives. This experience was nothing but transformative. The setting, nestled in nature's tranquillity, Lorne Beach, was the perfect backdrop & sanctuary for self-reflection and rejuvenation. Accommodation was comfortable, and the food was good. delicious and so much, we consistently spent four days together, making us close and connected. Every day was a new adventure in self-exploration. The beach yoga sessions, particularly at sunrise, helped me start each day with ease and enthusiasm as nothing mattered in this universe. The guided meditations and the sound healing were soulful, helping me work through deep changes. The workshops, led by Faye, who is incredibly wise and a compassionate facilitator, challenged and inspired me. She helped me uncover layers of my personality and life I hadn't examined before. It was empowering me to delve deep. But it wasn't just the structured activities that made this retreat special. It was the spontaneous moments of connection with fellow guests, the shared stories, and the realisation that despite our diverse backgrounds, we were all united in our quest for deeper understanding and growth. I especially appreciated the emphasis on creating our narratives for the future. This Embracing Change retreat gave me the time and space to ponder over my life's direction and chart a course for a future that aligns with my true self. I learned to be more wholehearted. Leaving this retreat, I feel like I've shed layers of stress and confusion that were holding me back. I'm returning to my daily life with a clearer vision, a lighter heart, and an empowered spirit to embrace my new beginning. To anyone considering this journey, I can only say: it might just be the turning point you've been seeking.

As a participant reflecting on my experience at the retreat, it has been a truly life-changing journey. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of peace and belonging that I hadn't experienced in years. The serene surroundings, away from the hustle of everyday life, provided the perfect backdrop for deep introspection and self-discovery. Each day was a blend of guided meditation, insightful workshops, and meaningful conversations with other participants who were also on their own paths of personal growth. These activities helped me to not only confront but also understand and begin to overcome some of the challenges I've been facing. Faye and Isabella were incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic, creating a safe and supportive environment for all of us to share and grow. One of the most profound aspects of the retreat was the opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with myself. It allowed me to think deeply about my life's direction and what I truly want for my future. This retreat wasn't just a break from my routine but a gateway to a new beginning. I am leaving here with a renewed sense of purpose, a clearer vision for my life, and a toolkit of strategies to maintain this newfound balance and clarity. I am incredibly grateful for this experience and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a transformative journey into self-awareness and personal development.

This retreat was a wonderful chance to step out of my comfort zone. Initially, I was uncertain about what to expect, but every activity turned out to be healing and opened up new avenues for introspection, learning, and skill development. At first, I felt quite shy and reserved, but the presence of amazing women around me created a welcoming atmosphere. The venue was stunningly beautiful, clean, neat, and spacious, and the food was absolutely delightful. From yoga at sunrise to late-night dinners, the schedule was packed with activities that fostered deep, meaningful connections as we all came together to share our stories. Despite our varied backgrounds, we were united in our pursuit of change and a fresh perspective on life. Faye was an incredible guide, leading us with wisdom and facilitating each session to gently steer us through exercises in self-compassion, journaling, and participating in the sacred circle – a space for reflection and personal growth. Isabella's immersive body art experiences were a highlight, and by the fourth day, I had uncovered my 'Why?'. I left the retreat with a heart overflowing with gratitude.

The Embracing Change retreat, held in Lorne, was an uplifting, inspiring and emotional experience. We began each day with Yoga on the beach, followed by a group breakfast, a day of workshops filled with beautiful exercises and activities that inspired growth. The amazing facilitators were knowledgeable, patient and inspiring. We were blessed to experience sound baths, breath work exercises and meditation, that opened up a new world of calm. Each day ended with a group dinner, filled with delicious food and beautiful conversation. Lifetime friendships and bonds were formed during these magical four days and I can truely say it was a life changing experience. Faye, I am beyond grateful for your encouragement, knowledge and generosity. You have continued to inspire growth, reflection and change within myself and for that, I will be forever grateful.

It’s hard to put the mindful healing and clarity I received through this retreat into words. Each part of the program compliments each other. Faye as works through the material across the 2.5 days. We also come in and out of opportunities to write/journal through each of these moments of clarity received by the learning, the better understandings of ourselves and others — why we react the way we do and how we can approach challenges by navigating them differently. The Art Therapy sessions were instrumental. I’m not art gifted, so I was feeling nervous about these sessions. Then each art therapy workshop across the weekend, my creativity begun to flow and it had healing outcomes and brought me peace. As a group, you met new people and a peaceful and caring friendship and trust is formed. Starting our mornings with Beach Yoga was spectacular, not something I’ve experienced before. Even each meal we shared as a group was comfortable and fun. It was truly a life changing retreat. Very grateful for the experience — worth every dollar on investing in my mental health and the peace that came over me in the learnings, experiences, encounters. Thank you.
