Retreat Details
Step into a deeply restorative and soul-stirring retreat designed exclusively for women ready to explore their inner world through the gentle, powerful lens of art therapy. Nestled in the heart of nature at Heartland Meadows, this retreat offers a nourishing container for you to reconnect with your creative essence, rebuild self-esteem, and discover new levels of self-awareness and resilience.
This is not a retreat about making art that is “good” or “right.” It is about making art that is true – a direct expression of your emotions, stories, and spirit. Whether you consider yourself creative or not, you are welcome here. With warmth and wisdom, Wendy House will guide you through expressive art practices that honour your personal journey and help unlock the hidden layers of your psyche.
✨ A Journey of Creative Discovery and Healing
Over the course of this gentle yet profound long weekend, you will be invited to:
- Reconnect with your authentic voice through mixed-media art processes
- Build emotional resilience by working through self-limiting beliefs in a supportive, nurturing space
- Explore and release internalised stories that no longer serve you
- Cultivate a deeper sense of self-compassion, confidence, and inner strength
- Access states of mindfulness, presence, and peaceful introspection through the act of creation
Art therapy is not about creating a masterpiece – it’s about allowing your inner world to unfold, layer by layer, through paint, chalk, clay, and other tactile materials. Each session is an invitation to listen deeply to yourself, to explore emotions without judgement, and to witness your own inner wisdom emerging on the canvas.
🌿 What You’ll Experience
Art Therapy Sessions using painting, drawing, sculpture, and other mixed media
Guided Meditation to cultivate stillness, inner clarity, and inspiration
Fire Ceremony to symbolically release what no longer serves you and invite in renewal
Women’s Circles to connect, share, and feel deeply seen in a space of unconditional acceptance
Nature Connection through time in the tranquil space of Heartland Meadows
Soulful Rest in peaceful private accommodation surrounded by beauty and calm
Your investment of $1045 will include:
Private bedroom
Nourishing meals
All workshops, art therapy sessions and activities
Guided meditation
Magnesium swimming pool
Infrared sauna
and so much more.

An uplifting experience, shared with an amazing group of women. Jenny and Dave I thank you for the beautiful food, the time and energy you both put into making your guests feel so welcome and sharing your piece of paradise with our group. Loved it 😊This was my 4th retreat facilitated by the lovely Wendy House. If you’re thinking of attending one of these beautiful retreats you will not be disappointed. Much love xxx 💕Kathy
I am grateful to have had a transforming experience at Heartland Meadows. I participated in an art therapy retreat with Wendy and my outlook to the challenges I am facing has completely changed. I am finding my joy and creativity again. Jenny was an amazing, caring, wise and insightful host. The food was healthy and yummy and I’m sure the nourishment enhanced my wellness and contributed to the extra spring I have in my step. Thank-you Dave. While the facilities were not luxurious they were spotlessly clean and the property was serine. I am not looking for luxury when I go away like this. I’m looking for a humble space at an affordable price that provides the opportunity to connect with nature. I am also looking for a place that helps me to reconnect with my joy. Heartland Meadows delivered this and more. My husband wants me to go to Heartland more regularly. He feels like he has his wife back. 💕Kerry
Heartland Meadows is the most special place, I have attended two retreats here and felt so safe, supported and nurtured. The location and physical facilities are paradise but the real gems are Jenny & Dave. The thought and care that is put into each retreat and everything on offer is beyond what you could expect. The food is wholesome and delicious and the workshops are educational and completely soul nourishing. If you’re in need of some self care, time to focus on your health and well being, then look no further. 💕 Laura
My personal journey brought me to Heartlands to stay with Jenny And Dave as a broken soul. Together they have brought me inner wisdom, guidance and an abundance of support that was unwavering. I will be forever grateful for being nourished with wholesome food and supplements, tools to move forward in life and knowing that a piece of Heartland will stay with me. Thankyou both with all my heart. 💕 Justine
This is a tiny slice of heaven in sunny coast hinterland. The crew are incredible. Jenny and Dave the horses and the whole team make any time spent there just magical. I witnessed miracles during my time there and will be returning as soon as I can get my kids looked after again. Jenny in particular did all she could to help me when I was in a place of pain and exhaustion. I’m beyond grateful for my time there. Food. Environment. Pool. View. Workshops. All of it is wonderful. Thank you, Jenny. I’m so grateful. 💕 Niki
I went to find peace and found transformation. I could say so many things to convince you to go, but in reality, you have to feel inside if you’re open to experiencing it. For me, it was utterly an important step to change my ways of functioning in life and for sure I’ll be coming back. Thanks, Jenny and Dave for being so caring and lovable human beings. 💕Paula
Heartland meadows is an incredible healing space. I’ve attended 3 times and each experience has had enormous impact on my well-being being both mind & body. The costs are unbelievable for what Jenny & Dave offer. The food is divine not to mention the infra-red suana and magnesium pool. You certainly won’t be disappointed once you’ve attended you’ll want to keep going back. 💕Michelle

Meet Your Host
Craig Harmer walks the path of a Kriya Yogi, Meditation and Pranayama Teacher, Vision Guidance Reader, and Divine Source Enhancement Healer, but above all, he sees himself as a companion for those seeking to remember their true essence.
His own awakening began in 2006 when meditation opened a doorway to stillness and inner transformation. Drawn by spirit to deepen this journey, Craig travelled to India in 2011, where the ancient practice of Pranayama Yoga expanded his breath, his awareness, and his ability to guide others into healing and balance.
Over the years, Craig has been blessed to weave together sacred practices – Divine Source Enhancement Healing and Vision Guidance readings – that open pathways for release, clarity, and spiritual renewal. With a gentle presence and an open heart, he creates spaces where others can reconnect to their soul, rediscover peace, and awaken to the light that has always lived within them.
Read what past guests have to say about Craig’s Retreats
I have recently attended the 3-night meditation and intuition retreat with Craig at Heartland Meadows at Chatsworth. I had never been to a retreat before, so I was somewhat nervous and dubious as to what I would gain from attending. The whole experience. Right from driving up the driveway to meeting Craig and our hosts Jenny and Dave was such a magical and fulfilling experience. Craig is a master at what he does. He is so exceptionally skilled and insightful. The breathing practices and meditation I’ve learnt from Craig have literally changed my life. At the retreat, the 80 acres you stay at are beautiful with green rolling hills and the accommodation was clean, comfortable and I felt completely at home and very well looked after. If you are looking to have time out from this frantic busy world, you want to slow down, take a breath and regain your peace and sanity…I highly recommend you do Craig’s retreats, classes or sessions. You are worth it! It will change your life. 💕Fleur
I just spent a week with Craig at Heartland Meadows and what an amazing week it was. Craig has a beautiful way of guiding, encouraging, and mastering the art of meditation. He has a very gentle approach in the way he shares his knowledge, and I’ve learnt so much in such a short time. Next up is Divine Source Enhancement, so watch this space. 💕Denise
I recently attended a retreat held at Heartland Meadows facilitated by Craig. Craig created a very sacred, safe and comfortable space for us to meditate, learn and transform. He taught us breathwork techniques that can be easily integrated into daily practice which have proven invaluable in shutting off an overactive mind. As well as facilitating a beautiful healing with oils, we were all encouraged and nurtured to connect with our hearts and intuition and with each other. Picked up some great information about food as well with some great recipes from Thomas and Imke for cleaner eating. Was a very enjoyable retreat and would highly recommend Craig as a retreat leader and also Heartland Meadows as a wonderful venue for self-discovery. 💕 Antoinette
As I left Craig’s recent retreat weekend I felt calm, centred & inspired. It was, without doubt, the greatest gift I have given myself, a true investment in Me. Heartland Meadows is the perfect setting ; Craig, Jenny & Dave are welcoming, the accommodation is comfortable, the food is hearty & cooked with love . The weekend delivered an idyllic break from day to day routines & habits. The structure allowed for free time to connect with others, sauna & swim or take quiet space & process. I learned meditation techniques to integrate into my new daily routines. I made friendships, laughed & cried, feeling seen & heard on so many levels. All of this is only possible within a sacred space, which Craig curated with skill & reverence. If you feel called to this retreat I urge you to attend. 💕Annette
So last Friday I did something that 12 months ago I never could have imagined myself doing. I headed off on a 3.5 hour solo road trip to Heartland Meadows for a Spiritual Retreat. The only words to describe my experience are absolutely life changing. From Friday evening to mid morning Monday I participated in workshops, meditations and breathing sessions and a fire ceremony. I have learned so much about myself and now know where my life is headed. I met some incredible souls, some of whom, I am now blessed to call friends. I laughed, I cried, I connected with my higher self and I found who I am. I am eternally grateful to Craig Harmer, Jenny and Dave, for helping to make all of this possible. You are incredibly beautiful souls. I will def be going back again to Heartland Meadows. It is a relaxing, serene and safe place to allow myself to be me. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I am truly happy. From here life is just going to get better and I am ready to soar. Love & Light. 💕 Vanessa
Heartland Meadows is THE place to go to find yourself again. I went there thinking my journey was going in one direction, only to be taken in a completely different one! Jenny and Dave are absolutely amazing! And Craig’s healing abilities are on another level! I was able to ease out of my ‘fight or flight’ that had me entangled in a life of tension and unease for over three years! And I didn’t even know I was in it! I was able to journey at my own pace, experience opportunities that could only be experienced in a place of pure trust, unconditional love, and complete self acceptance. And this was all possible because of the combination of how the retreat was run, the welcoming nature of its energies and the energies of the attendees, and the opportunities of the workshops and extra services available. The food was absolutely a main attraction too! It was like eating love with every bite! I could not fault anything! I have a greater sense of self, a toolbox of coping mechanisms and self observation techniques, and (most importantly) a sense of hope. I WANT to live now. I want to share in joy and experiences, and I want to connect. A vast difference to the person who made the 2 hour journey on day one. Thank you all for everything you have provided me. Amazing opportunity. Much love 💕 Amanda
After wanting to go to a retreat for a long time but holding off every time for different reasons, I know now why I made the decision to go to Heartland Meadows as my first retreat ever. From the moment of arriving until the moment of leaving it was just pure love. Jenny and Dave are running a wonderful retreat centre where you will feel welcome as if it is your own home, they are so kind and loving and both have great characters. They’ve invited Craig Harmer to run the retreat and he had an awesome programme for us with great content and guidance. The food they provide which is made with a smile in a warming calming environment with beautiful surroundings, everything just connected for me. I can’t recommend these guys and this place enough, I know I’ll be back.
Much love guys!🙏 💕Jereon

Retreat Details
Friday 11 December to Sunday 13 December 2026
A Three-Day Journey Back to Yourself
The Flow Retreat is an opportunity to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with your inner knowing, purpose and more natural way of being.
Many people reach a point where they understand their patterns but still feel unable to create meaningful change. They may feel disconnected from their purpose, uncertain about their next step or aware that something is missing from their lives.
This retreat is designed to help you move beyond simply gathering more information and begin turning understanding into genuine transformation.
Over three days, you will be supported to explore what may be holding you back, reconnect with yourself and create greater clarity around the life you want to live.
Is This Retreat for You?
The Flow Retreat may support you if you:
• feel as though you are at a crossroads
• know the same patterns continue to appear in your life
• are unsure about your next step
• feel disconnected from your passion or purpose
• want to understand yourself at a deeper level
• are ready to create change but don’t know where to begin
• want to feel more comfortable and confident being yourself
You do not need to arrive with a clearly defined goal. You may simply know that something within your life is ready to change.
The Flow Retreat Journey
The retreat is based around four areas of exploration:
The Mirror
Recognising the beliefs, behaviours and patterns that may be influencing your life. Seeing the lesson.
The Core Issue
Explore what may be sitting beneath recurring challenges, emotional reactions or feelings of disconnection.
Connection and Flow
Reconnect with your intuition and begin understanding what helps you feel aligned, present and able to move forward.
Being Yourself
Explore what it means to live more fully as yourself, without continually performing, hiding, seeking permission or trying to become who others expect you to be.
The intention is not to help you become a different person. It is to support you in returning to who you already are.
An Open and Intuitive Retreat Experience.
The Flow Retreat offers a lightly structured program that can be adapted according to the needs of the people attending.
The retreat begins with a welcome circle in which participants are invited to consider what they would genuinely like to receive from the weekend. From there, Kean works intuitively with the group while following the retreat’s overall themes and framework.
You will be encouraged to participate and experience the different activities, although no one will be forced to share more than they feel comfortable sharing.
The weekend may include:
• guided group conversations
• intention setting
• meditation and breathwork
• personal development activities
• exploration of mindset and recurring patterns
• vibrational numerology
• relevant astrology and astronomy
• discussion of intuition, identity and life purpose
• gentle movement
• a fire ceremony
• integration and reflection circles
• complimentary Bowen sessions
Each participant will also receive a light Birth Chart Blueprint using Kean’s Vibrational Numerology system. This is designed to offer insight into your strengths, challenges, opportunities and recurring life themes.
The Power of the Circle.
Much of the retreat takes place within a small and supportive group. The group environment gives participants an opportunity to speak honestly, listen without needing to fix one another and recognise themselves in the experiences of others.
When one person identifies a pattern, shares something openly or gains a new understanding, it can create insight for the entire group.
The intention is to create a space in which you feel supported enough to be honest, curious and open to change.

Retreat Details
What if you began 2027 with time to pause, breathe, reflect and consciously decide how you want the year ahead to feel?
New Beginnings is a seven-day retreat created to help you start the year feeling rested, hopeful, inspired and ready for what comes next.
This is a week to leave the noise and demands of everyday life behind for a little while. A week to nourish your body, reconnect with yourself, think about what truly matters and create space for new possibilities.
You don’t need to arrive with resolutions. You don’t need to have everything worked out.
You simply need to arrive open to the possibility that this year can be different.
At Heartland Meadows, you will have the space, support and encouragement to begin 2027 with intention, clarity and renewed energy.
Are you ready to welcome 2027 with a heart full of hope and a mind open to infinite possibilities? At Heartland Meadows Retreat, we invite you to embrace a transformative experience with our “New Beginnings” 7-day retreat. This isn’t just a retreat – it’s a personal commitment to creating your best year yet.
NEW BEGINNINGS – 7 Day Retreat
Our New Beginnings retreat is the perfect gift to yourself to start 2027 with positivity, inspiration and joy.
This is your opportunity to embrace personal growth, find inner peace, and manifest your dreams. The New Beginnings retreat is more than just a getaway; it’s a gift to yourself, a commitment to your growth, and an investment in a fulfilling 2027. Embrace the potential of the new year with renewed energy, an open heart, and a clear mind.
Begin the Year Differently
So often, a new year begins and within days we are back in the same routines, carrying the same worries and moving at the same pace.
New Beginnings gives you the opportunity to interrupt that pattern.
Over seven beautiful days, we will gently reflect on the year that has been, acknowledge what it has taught us and consider what we may be ready to leave behind.
Then we turn our attention forward.
What do you want more of in your life?
What needs to change?
What would you like to prioritise?
How do you want to feel?
And what might become possible when you begin making choices that are aligned with the life you genuinely want to create?
This week is about reconnecting with yourself and moving forward with greater awareness, hope and purpose.
Your investment of $2174 will include:
Private bedroom
Nourishing meals catering to dietary requirements
Self-discovery and self-empowerment workshops
Guided meditations and gentle movement
Magnesium swimming pool
Infrared sauna
Sound Healing
Creative Art
Visioning
Mantras
Pranayama breath-work
Fire Ceremony
and so much more.
Wellness Facilities at Heartland Meadows
During your retreat, you will have access to our wellness facilities and plenty of time to enjoy them.
Magnesium Swimming Pool
Relax, float and cool off in our magnesium swimming pool while taking in the peaceful country surroundings.
Whether you enjoy an early morning swim, a relaxing afternoon float or simply sitting beside the pool, it is one of our guests’ favourite places to unwind.
Far-Infrared Sauna
Our far-infrared sauna is available throughout your stay and provides another beautiful opportunity to relax, warm the body and enjoy some quiet time.
PEMF Therapy
Guests are also welcome to experience our PEMF therapy sessions at no additional charge during the retreat.
Vibroacoustic Sound Bed
Our vibroacoustic therapy bed combines sound and vibration to create a deeply relaxing experience.
Vibroacoustic sessions are available during the week for an additional cost and can be booked while you are staying with us.
Massage
Massage may also be available during the retreat by appointment for an additional fee.
Your Own Private Bedroom
Every guest at New Beginnings receives their own private bedroom.
Having your own space means that when you need quiet time, an early night or simply a little privacy, you have somewhere comfortable to retreat to.
You can be part of the group when you want connection and enjoy your own space whenever you need it.
Our Offerings to You
Word for the Year
One of the much-loved traditions of our New Beginnings retreat is discovering your Word for the Year.
Rather than beginning January with a long list of resolutions that may quickly disappear, you will choose a word that represents how you want to live, feel and move through 2027.
Your word becomes an anchor. A reminder of what matters. A simple compass you can return to when making decisions, facing challenges or finding yourself slipping back into old patterns.
It might be courage. Freedom. Joy. Balance. Connection. Trust. Adventure. Peace.
Or something completely unique to you.
During the retreat, we will explore your word and how you can carry its meaning and intention into your everyday life.
Visioning and Creating Your Year Ahead
Our Visioning Workshop is an opportunity to look beyond resolutions and begin imagining the year you genuinely want to create.
Together, we will explore intention, alignment and conscious choice.
You will have time to consider your health, relationships, wellbeing, personal growth, passions and the things that bring meaning and joy to your life.
Through reflection, creative exercises and guided activities, you will begin shaping a vision for 2027 that feels exciting but also authentic and achievable.
The goal is not to control everything that happens during the year.
Life will always bring the unexpected.
Instead, it is about becoming clearer about who you want to be and how you want to meet whatever comes your way.
Nourish Your Body
Throughout the week, you will enjoy beautiful, nourishing and restorative vegetarian meals prepared with care.
Our food is designed to help you feel well nourished without feeling heavy or restricted, using wholesome ingredients and plenty of colour, flavour and variety.
Dietary requirements can be catered for with prior notice.
We believe food should be one of the pleasures of retreat life, and sharing meals around the table is also an important part of the connection and community that naturally develops during the week.
Healthy Habits for the Year Ahead
Beginning a new year is also an ideal opportunity to look at the small daily choices that influence how we feel.
During our Healthy Habits Workshop, we will explore practical and realistic ways of supporting your wellbeing at home.
Rather than trying to overhaul your entire life overnight, we focus on sustainable changes that can become part of everyday living.
You will leave with ideas, tools and inspiration that you can continue using long after you return home.
Space to Slow Down
New Beginnings is not seven days of rushing from one workshop to another.
There will be plenty to experience, but there is also time simply to be.
Swim.
Read.
Walk.
Rest.
Sit quietly overlooking the hills.
Talk with new friends.
Spend time alone.
Have an afternoon nap if you need one.
Our retreats are designed to give you choices. Everything is offered with encouragement, but you are also invited to listen to your body and take the time you need for yourself.
Meditation, Breath and Gentle Movement
Throughout the retreat, we will incorporate practices that help bring us back into the present moment.
These include:
- Guided meditation
- Gentle movement
- Pranayama breathwork
- Mindfulness and reflection
You do not need any previous experience.
These practices are gentle, accessible and designed to help quieten the mental noise, reconnect with your body and create a little more space within.
Sound Healing
Allow yourself to simply lie back and receive during our sound healing experience.
Through vibration, rhythm and sound, this deeply relaxing session offers an opportunity to slow down, become still and allow yourself to rest.
For many guests, sound healing becomes one of the most peaceful and memorable experiences of the retreat.
Creative Art
Creativity gives us a different way of exploring ourselves.
Our creative art session is not about artistic ability and there is absolutely no requirement to be “good at art”.
It is about play, expression and allowing yourself to create without judgement.
Sometimes the most meaningful discoveries happen when we stop trying to find the right words and simply allow ourselves to explore.
Fire Ceremony
Our fire ceremony provides a beautiful opportunity to acknowledge what you are ready to release as you move into the new year.
Surrounded by nature and the warmth of the fire, we create space to consciously let go of thoughts, habits, experiences or ways of being that you no longer wish to carry forward.
It can be a powerful moment of reflection, release and renewal.
The People You Meet May Become Part of the Experience
Something very special often happens during a week at Heartland Meadows.

There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable sharing.
You can participate in your own way.
Yet many guests tell us that the friendships and sense of belonging created during a retreat become one of the most unexpected and treasured parts of their stay.

Retreat Details
Begin Your Reiki Journey
Usui Reiki 1st Degree Training
Whether you’re seeking self-calming routines for inner peace, self-healing, or a way to support loved ones energetically, Reiki Level 1 training opens a beautiful new door in your life.
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing practice that anyone can learn. In this beginner-friendly training, you’ll receive all the knowledge, attunements, and practice you need to confidently begin working with Reiki for yourself and others.
This training will give you the practical tools to…
✨ Calm your mind with ease
All too often we get stuck in our own head with spiralling thoughts and anxious loops. Reiki helps to quiet the mental noise, bringing your awareness back into your body, your breath, and the present moment.
✨ Shift your energy in moments of overwhelm
When life feels chaotic, you’ll learn simple ways to regulate your energy quickly – moving from scattered or stuck to steady and centred, no matter what’s going on around you.
✨ Release built-up stress and tension from your body
Through Reiki self-treatment techniques, you’ll begin to unravel physical tightness and emotional weight held deep within your body – bringing relief, softness, and deep rest.
✨ Cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and clarity
Your energy balances the more you use Reiki, (even just for a few minutes each day) so too does your inner world. Many students find they feel calmer, more emotionally steady, and able to make clear decisions from a grounded place.
✨ Strengthen your connection to intuition and inner guidance
As you learn to tune in to subtle energies, you’ll begin to trust those gentle nudges, gut feelings, and inner wisdom – leading to more aligned choices in daily life.
✨ Support your body’s natural healing ability
Reiki works with your body’s innate intelligence, gently encouraging healing on a physical, emotional, and energetic level – without force, pressure, or strain.
✨ Feel more grounded and emotionally balanced
You’ll discover ways to ground your energy and reconnect with stability. This helps reduce emotional highs and lows and leaves you feeling more centred and resilient.
✨ Create a sacred space of calm for yourself and loved ones
Reiki empowers you to bring peace not only to yourself, but to others – creating little pockets of sanctuary in your home, with your children, pets, or partner.
✨ Improve sleep, mood, and overall well-being
With regular practice, many people notice deeper sleep, a lighter emotional state, and more ease moving through their day-to-day life.
✨ Build confidence in your own energy healing ability
This isn’t about being ‘special’ – it’s about learning to trust your hands, your presence, your Reiki Guides and your ability to be a channel for healing. Everyone has this potential.
✨ Develop a daily self-care practice that nourishes your soul
Reiki is something you can return to again and again. You’ll learn how to create rituals and routines that bring you back to balance, connection, and inner nourishment.
✨ Connect with energy in a way that feels empowering and natural
You’ll learn how energy works – not in a confusing or abstract way, but in a way that makes sense and feels deeply familiar and supportive.
Start supporting others – friends, family, and even pets – with Reiki
Once you complete your 1st Degree, you’ll be able to offer Reiki to others – sharing this gentle yet powerful healing energy with those you care about most.

Meet Your Host
Craig Harmer walks the path of a Kriya Yogi, Meditation and Pranayama Teacher, Vision Guidance Reader, and Divine Source Enhancement Healer, but above all, he sees himself as a companion for those seeking to remember their true essence.
His own awakening began in 2006 when meditation opened a doorway to stillness and inner transformation. Drawn by spirit to deepen this journey, Craig travelled to India in 2011, where the ancient practice of Pranayama Yoga expanded his breath, his awareness, and his ability to guide others into healing and balance.
Over the years, Craig has been blessed to weave together sacred practices – Divine Source Enhancement Healing and Vision Guidance readings – that open pathways for release, clarity, and spiritual renewal. With a gentle presence and an open heart, he creates spaces where others can reconnect to their soul, rediscover peace, and awaken to the light that has always lived within them.
Read what past guests have to say about Craig’s Retreats
I have recently attended the 3-night meditation and intuition retreat with Craig at Heartland Meadows at Chatsworth. I had never been to a retreat before, so I was somewhat nervous and dubious as to what I would gain from attending. The whole experience. Right from driving up the driveway to meeting Craig and our hosts Jenny and Dave was such a magical and fulfilling experience. Craig is a master at what he does. He is so exceptionally skilled and insightful. The breathing practices and meditation I’ve learnt from Craig have literally changed my life. At the retreat, the 80 acres you stay at are beautiful with green rolling hills and the accommodation was clean, comfortable and I felt completely at home and very well looked after. If you are looking to have time out from this frantic busy world, you want to slow down, take a breath and regain your peace and sanity…I highly recommend you do Craig’s retreats, classes or sessions. You are worth it! It will change your life. 💕Fleur
I just spent a week with Craig at Heartland Meadows and what an amazing week it was. Craig has a beautiful way of guiding, encouraging, and mastering the art of meditation. He has a very gentle approach in the way he shares his knowledge, and I’ve learnt so much in such a short time. Next up is Divine Source Enhancement, so watch this space. 💕Denise
I recently attended a retreat held at Heartland Meadows facilitated by Craig. Craig created a very sacred, safe and comfortable space for us to meditate, learn and transform. He taught us breathwork techniques that can be easily integrated into daily practice which have proven invaluable in shutting off an overactive mind. As well as facilitating a beautiful healing with oils, we were all encouraged and nurtured to connect with our hearts and intuition and with each other. Picked up some great information about food as well with some great recipes from Thomas and Imke for cleaner eating. Was a very enjoyable retreat and would highly recommend Craig as a retreat leader and also Heartland Meadows as a wonderful venue for self-discovery. 💕 Antoinette
As I left Craig’s recent retreat weekend I felt calm, centred & inspired. It was, without doubt, the greatest gift I have given myself, a true investment in Me. Heartland Meadows is the perfect setting ; Craig, Jenny & Dave are welcoming, the accommodation is comfortable, the food is hearty & cooked with love . The weekend delivered an idyllic break from day to day routines & habits. The structure allowed for free time to connect with others, sauna & swim or take quiet space & process. I learned meditation techniques to integrate into my new daily routines. I made friendships, laughed & cried, feeling seen & heard on so many levels. All of this is only possible within a sacred space, which Craig curated with skill & reverence. If you feel called to this retreat I urge you to attend. 💕Annette
So last Friday I did something that 12 months ago I never could have imagined myself doing. I headed off on a 3.5 hour solo road trip to Heartland Meadows for a Spiritual Retreat. The only words to describe my experience are absolutely life changing. From Friday evening to mid morning Monday I participated in workshops, meditations and breathing sessions and a fire ceremony. I have learned so much about myself and now know where my life is headed. I met some incredible souls, some of whom, I am now blessed to call friends. I laughed, I cried, I connected with my higher self and I found who I am. I am eternally grateful to Craig Harmer, Jenny and Dave, for helping to make all of this possible. You are incredibly beautiful souls. I will def be going back again to Heartland Meadows. It is a relaxing, serene and safe place to allow myself to be me. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I am truly happy. From here life is just going to get better and I am ready to soar. Love & Light. 💕 Vanessa
Heartland Meadows is THE place to go to find yourself again. I went there thinking my journey was going in one direction, only to be taken in a completely different one! Jenny and Dave are absolutely amazing! And Craig’s healing abilities are on another level! I was able to ease out of my ‘fight or flight’ that had me entangled in a life of tension and unease for over three years! And I didn’t even know I was in it! I was able to journey at my own pace, experience opportunities that could only be experienced in a place of pure trust, unconditional love, and complete self acceptance. And this was all possible because of the combination of how the retreat was run, the welcoming nature of its energies and the energies of the attendees, and the opportunities of the workshops and extra services available. The food was absolutely a main attraction too! It was like eating love with every bite! I could not fault anything! I have a greater sense of self, a toolbox of coping mechanisms and self observation techniques, and (most importantly) a sense of hope. I WANT to live now. I want to share in joy and experiences, and I want to connect. A vast difference to the person who made the 2 hour journey on day one. Thank you all for everything you have provided me. Amazing opportunity. Much love 💕 Amanda
After wanting to go to a retreat for a long time but holding off every time for different reasons, I know now why I made the decision to go to Heartland Meadows as my first retreat ever. From the moment of arriving until the moment of leaving it was just pure love. Jenny and Dave are running a wonderful retreat centre where you will feel welcome as if it is your own home, they are so kind and loving and both have great characters. They’ve invited Craig Harmer to run the retreat and he had an awesome programme for us with great content and guidance. The food they provide which is made with a smile in a warming calming environment with beautiful surroundings, everything just connected for me. I can’t recommend these guys and this place enough, I know I’ll be back.
Much love guys!🙏 💕Jereon

A New and Expanded Gut Healing Retreat for 2027 Are you ready to understand your gut in a
Retreat Details
A New and Expanded Gut Healing Retreat for 2027
Are you ready to understand your gut in a whole new way?
Your gut influences far more than digestion.
It plays an extraordinary role in immunity, inflammation, nutrient absorption, energy, mood, brain health and overall wellbeing. When the gut is struggling, the effects can be felt throughout the entire body.
In 2027, Heal Your Gut returns to Heartland Meadows as a newly developed and significantly expanded retreat.
Following a year of extensive study, exploration of new and emerging research, and work with a leading gastroenterologist from the United States, Jenny has completely revisited and deepened the Heal Your Gut program.
What we now understand about the gut microbiome, the gut barrier, inflammation, digestion, immune function and the relationship between the gut and the rest of the body continues to evolve.
And so has this retreat.
If you have joined us for Heal Your Gut before, we would genuinely love you to come again. This will not simply be a repeat of what you have already experienced. There will be new information, new research, a more comprehensive gut healing protocol and even more practical tools to help you take what you learn at Heartland Meadows into your everyday life.
If this is your first Heal Your Gut retreat, prepare for a fascinating three-night journey into one of the most important foundations of your health.
Why does healing the gut matter so much?
A healthy gastrointestinal system does much more than process food.
Your gut contains an enormous community of microorganisms that interact with your immune system, nervous system, hormones and metabolism. It is also intimately connected with your brain through the gut-brain axis.
When this delicate ecosystem becomes disrupted, the consequences can extend well beyond bloating or digestive discomfort.
Throughout the retreat, we will explore the connection between gut health and areas such as inflammation, immune function, autoimmune conditions, fatigue, mood, food sensitivities, nutrient absorption and general wellbeing.
Most importantly, we want you to leave understanding why your gut matters and what you can realistically do to support it.
More than a weekend of learning
This retreat has been intentionally extended from Friday afternoon through to Monday morning, giving us three nights together and allowing time to move beyond simply talking about gut health.
Throughout your stay, you will follow a carefully considered gut-supportive food and lifestyle protocol, giving you the opportunity to experience many of the principles we discuss.
You will enjoy nourishing meals created with gut health in mind while learning why particular foods and ingredients have been chosen.
And we don’t want that learning to disappear the moment you drive through the gates.
You will also be supplied with recipes, menu ideas and practical information to take home, helping you translate what you have learned into real life without feeling that you need to completely overhaul everything overnight.
The aim is not perfection.
It is understanding.
It is learning how to make informed choices.
And it is giving your body the conditions it needs to function as well as possible.
What you’ll explore
🧬 The Gut Microbiome
Discover the remarkable ecosystem living within your digestive tract and why diversity within the microbiome matters. We will explore what supports beneficial bacteria, what can disrupt the microbiome and how our understanding of gut bacteria continues to change.
🌿 The Gut Barrier and “Leaky Gut”
Understand the intestinal barrier, what can compromise its integrity and why gut permeability has become such an important area of research.
🔥 Gut Health and Inflammation
Explore the relationship between the digestive system, immune system and inflammation, and why addressing the gut may be an important piece of the wellbeing puzzle.
🧠 The Gut-Brain Connection
Your digestive system and brain are in constant communication. We will explore the gut-brain axis and look at the fascinating relationship between digestion, stress, emotions, mood and the nervous system.
🥣 Food as Information
Learn how different foods interact with the digestive system and microbiome, why gut healing is about much more than simply removing certain foods, and how we can nourish the body while still enjoying food.
🌱 Supporting a Healthy Microbiome
Discover practical ways to nourish microbial diversity and support the environment in which beneficial bacteria can thrive.
🥬 Fermented Foods
Learn about traditional fermented foods and how they may fit into a gut-supportive lifestyle. Our hands-on fermentation workshop will give you practical skills you can continue using at home.
💗 Stress, Emotions and the Nervous System
Digestion does not happen in isolation. We will explore how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation can influence digestive function, while introducing simple practices to help the body move into a calmer state.
🍲 Your Take-Home Gut Healing Toolkit
You will leave with recipes, meal inspiration and practical ideas to help you continue supporting your gut once you return home.
You will experience it, not just learn about it
Throughout the retreat, our meals and daily rhythm will complement the principles being taught.
Rather than sitting through endless lectures about what you “should” be doing, you will have an opportunity to live many of these practices for several days.
There will also be time to rest.
Time to swim.
Time to enjoy the infrared sauna.
Time to walk through the property.
Time for gentle movement and breathwork.
Time to experience sound healing.
And time simply to allow your nervous system to slow down.
Because gut healing is not only about food.
This retreat may be for you if…
You experience digestive discomfort, bloating or changes in bowel function.
You live with food sensitivities or feel confused about what you should and shouldn’t be eating.
You are interested in the relationship between the gut, inflammation and immune health.
You experience fatigue, brain fog or a general feeling that something isn’t quite right.
You have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and want to better understand the role gut health plays in whole-body wellbeing.
You have tried countless gut health ideas but feel overwhelmed by conflicting information.
Or perhaps you feel well and simply want to understand your body better and learn how to protect your long-term health.
Knowledge grounded in research and lived experience
This retreat is deeply personal to Heartland Meadows.
Jenny and Dave have both travelled their own significant health journeys, experiences that ultimately helped shape the philosophy behind Heartland Meadows.
For Jenny, her earlier experiences with ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis sparked a lifelong fascination with the connection between nutrition, the gut, inflammation, emotions and whole-body health.
Today, as a qualified Functional Nutrition Coach with a PhD in Emotions, Jenny combines that lived experience with ongoing study and an ever-evolving understanding of the research.
The 2027 Heal Your Gut retreat represents the next stage of that learning.
It brings together what we have learned from previous retreats with a further year of study, emerging research and professional collaboration to create our most comprehensive gut health retreat yet.
Your Retreat Includes
🌸 3 nights in your own private bedroom at Heartland Meadows Retreat
🥗 All meals throughout your stay, thoughtfully created around the gut-supportive principles explored during the retreat
🧬 New and expanded gut health workshops and masterclasses
📚 The latest information from Jenny’s 2026 study and research
🥣 A structured gut-supportive retreat protocol
📖 Recipes and menu ideas to take home
🥬 Hands-on fermentation workshop
🧘♀️ Gentle movement, breathwork and nervous system support
🎶 Sound healing and deep relaxation
🏊♀️ Access to our heated magnesium swimming pool
🔥 Access to our far-infrared sauna
🌿 Plenty of time to rest, reconnect and enjoy the peaceful surrounds of Heartland Meadows
💗 A small, supportive retreat environment where questions and conversation are encouraged
Returning guests, this one is for you too
If you attended one of our previous Heal Your Gut retreats, please don’t think, “I’ve already done that one.”
So much has changed.
Our understanding has grown, the research has moved forward, and Jenny’s own knowledge has continued to develop enormously.
The 2027 retreat has been created to reflect that.
There will certainly be foundational concepts worth revisiting, but there will also be considerable new learning, a deeper exploration of the gut and microbiome, new practical strategies and an expanded three-night experience.
We would love to have you back as we take Heal Your Gut to its next level.

What Our Guests Say
WOOAA! — 15/04/26 — ★★★★★
I recently stayed at Heartland Meadows Retreat – focusing on Gut Health and had a really lovely experience. Jenny and her husband Dave are genuinely warm and welcoming people, and I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived. Jenny has a great way of teaching gut health – she makes it easy to understand and even adds a bit of fun to it, which made everything feel really approachable rather than overwhelming. The accommodation is modest, very clean, comfortable, and well cared for. It suited the experience perfectly – more about slowing down, resetting, and connecting with like-minded people, which ended up being a really special part of the stay. The food was tasty and surprisingly filling. I’ll admit I went in a little worried I might be hungry but that definitely wasn’t the case. The surroundings are peaceful, and if you think it might be too quiet, you’ll quickly realise how much life and “noise” nature actually brings :)I felt the retreat was well priced for what was offered. The only thing I would have loved is an extra night – it went too quickly! Lol I’m already counting down the days and look forward to going back and earning my badge as a “repeat offender”
“Amazing, beautiful energetic space to relieve the stress and worries of life and bring back some peace, harmony and much self love.”

Retreat Details
A hands-on business visibility retreat for women in business
Friday 2 April – Sunday 4 April 2027
Heartland Meadows Retreat, Queensland
Investment: $1,500 AUD
You’ve built the business. You’ve put in the hours. You know you offer something valuable.
But when someone searches for what you do – on Google, through AI, or online more broadly – are they actually finding you?
And perhaps even more importantly… when they do find you, are they choosing you?
Be the Business They Find … Then Choose is a practical, hands-on weekend retreat created specifically for established women business owners who are tired of watching less experienced, less established or simply more digitally visible businesses become the obvious online choice.
This is not about becoming louder on social media.
It’s not about creating more content for the sake of creating content.
And it certainly isn’t about spending a weekend taking pages of notes, feeling inspired for a few days, and then going home with another enormous list of things you don’t have time to do.
This weekend is about working on your actual business.
Bring your laptop, bring the business you have already built, and together we will start uncovering the digital dots that Google and AI are using to find, understand and recommend businesses like yours.
Then we start connecting them.
Why I invited Gillian to Heartland Meadows
This retreat came about for a very personal reason.
I have had the opportunity to meet Gillian and work with her within my own business, Heartland Meadows, and I have been incredibly impressed by both her knowledge and the way she approaches this work.
Like so many small business owners, I know how frustrating it can be to pour enormous amounts of time, energy and heart into creating something wonderful, only to discover that the online world doesn’t necessarily recognise what you have built.
You can be excellent at what you do and still not appear where people are looking.
You can have years of experience and still be outranked by a newer business.
And increasingly, it isn’t only Google we need to think about. People are now asking AI platforms where to go, who to use, what to buy and which businesses they can trust.
Gillian understands this world extraordinarily well.
More importantly, she has a wonderful ability to take something that can feel technical, complicated and overwhelming and make it practical and understandable.
Having worked with her myself and seen the value of what she offers, I knew this was something I wanted to bring to Heartland Meadows.
So I invited her to create something special for women in small business – not another business conference, but a small, supported retreat where there is actually time to sit down together and do the work.
What will we actually be doing?
Over the weekend, Gillian will help you uncover the digital footprint your business is leaving behind.
You’ll look at the different pieces of information – the “digital dots” – that help search engines and AI platforms understand:
- who you are
- what your business does
- who you help
- where you operate
- what you are known for
- whether the information about your business is clear and consistent
- and whether the online pieces of your business are properly connected
But this is not simply about learning how it works.
You will be working on your own business throughout the weekend.
You’ll identify gaps, strengthen what is already there, make practical changes and begin connecting the pieces that may currently be working against you – or simply not working together at all.
You will not completely rebuild your digital presence in one weekend, and Gillian won’t pretend that you will.
Building strong online visibility is an ongoing process.
What you will do is make a substantial start.
You’ll leave having completed real work, with stronger foundations in place and a much clearer understanding of what needs your attention next.
Your Before & After Digital Dot Map
One of the most valuable things you will take home is your own Before & After Digital Dot Map.
This will give you a visual picture of what you discovered about your business during the weekend, what you changed, what you connected and what still requires attention.
Rather than leaving with a vague sense that you “need to work on your SEO” or “should probably do something about AI”, you will have a far clearer picture of where your business currently stands and what your next priorities should be.
Some simple measurements will also be put in place so you can begin tracking the impact of the work you’ve done.
Who is this retreat for?
This weekend has been designed for women who already have a genuine business, service or professional offering and want more of the right people to find it.
It may be perfect for you if:
- you have been in business for some time but feel strangely invisible online
- you know your experience and expertise should be positioning you more strongly than it currently is
- competitors seem to appear before you in Google searches
- you are wondering what AI means for the future visibility of your business
- you know your website, Google presence and other online information could be working harder for you
- you feel overwhelmed by SEO, Google, websites, AI and all the advice telling you what you “should” be doing
- you want someone knowledgeable beside you while you actually work through it
- you are simply ready for your online presence to better reflect the quality of the business you have already created
You do not need to be technically minded.
You just need to bring your laptop, your business and a willingness to work on it.
And because this is a retreat…
We also believe business owners do some of their best thinking when they have the opportunity to get away from the constant demands of everyday life.
You’ll be staying at beautiful Heartland Meadows Retreat, where Dave and Jenny will take care of you throughout the weekend.
Between sessions there will be time to step away from the laptop, breathe, reset and enjoy the property – including our magnesium pool and far-infrared sauna.
There is something quite different about being able to work intensively on your business while someone else takes care of the meals, the environment and all those little everyday responsibilities.
This is time set aside specifically for you and your business.
A weekend designed around a small group – not a crowd
This retreat has been deliberately designed for a small number of women.
That matters.
Because this isn’t a conference where you sit in a room listening to someone speak and then go home to figure everything out for yourself.
You’ll be working on your business, with Gillian there to help you look at what you’re finding, make sense of it and work out what needs your attention.
Keeping the group small means there is time for questions.
Time to look at individual businesses.
Time to get help when you get stuck.
And time for Gillian to work personally with the women in the room rather than simply teach from the front of it.
Your weekend also includes your accommodation at Heartland Meadows, nourishing vegetarian meals prepared for you, access to our retreat facilities, and something that can be surprisingly difficult to give yourself as a business owner – an entire weekend set aside to work on your business without the usual distractions and responsibilities competing for your attention.
Put all of that together – Gillian’s specialist knowledge, hands-on personalised help, a deliberately small group, accommodation, meals, the retreat experience and dedicated time to actually do the work … and this is far more than a weekend business workshop.
And for this first retreat, your investment is just $1,500 AUD
We have made a very deliberate decision to offer this first Be the Business They Find … Then Choose Retreat at a price that will never be repeated.
Future retreats will be priced differently.
And because keeping the group small is part of what makes this weekend valuable, places are strictly limited.
This will remain a genuinely small-group retreat so Gillian can work personally with the women in the room.
Once those places are gone, they’re gone.
So if you’ve known for a while that your business deserves to be more visible – but you haven’t known where to begin, who to trust or how to find the time to actually do something about it – this may be your opportunity.
Come for the space to think.
Come for the opportunity to finally do the work.
Come for the personalised help when you need it.
And come while this first retreat is available for $1,500 AUD – a price we won’t offer again.

Retreat Details
Step into a sacred space where ancient wisdom, spiritual connection, and hands-on creation merge into a deeply transformative experience. This seven-day retreat is an opportunity to reconnect with your inner wisdom, ancestral energies, and the natural world, all while crafting sacred tools that will become lifelong companions on your journey.
At the heart of this retreat is the profound experience of birthing your own medicine drum – a sacred instrument that will hold your energy, intention, and spirit; and the creation of other ritual tools.
Through the intentional process of drum-making, ritual crafting, movement, meditation, and ceremony, you will immerse yourself in deep personal transformation, healing, and self-discovery.
More than a retreat, this is a ceremonial experience – a rite of passage into deeper understanding, connection, and spiritual embodiment. The tools you create will carry the energy of this journey, serving as gateways to your own healing, power, and ancestral wisdom.
Shamanic Journey
This retreat is a fusion of hands-on crafting, shamanic practices, sacred ceremony, and soul embodiment. Every aspect of the experience is designed to bring you deeper into alignment with your spirit, guiding you into a profound connection with yourself and the unseen world.
The Art of Crafting Sacred Tools
The act of creating ritual tools with your own hands is an ancient practice of empowerment. Every element of your tools—whether wood, hide, feathers, or herbs—carries the spirit of the earth, the wisdom of the ancestors, and the intention you infuse into it. During this retreat, you will:
- Birth Your Own Medicine Drum – A powerful, personal experience where you will craft a drum that holds your unique frequency, helping you to enter deep meditative states, connect with spirit, and ground yourself in sacred rhythm.
- Create a Smudge Fan – Made with hand-selected feathers, this ceremonial tool will be infused with your energy, ready to assist you in cleansing and protection rituals.
- Craft a Shamanic Rattle – A sacred sound instrument that will help shift energy, open spiritual pathways, and awaken new dimensions within yourself.
- Blend Ritual Sprays & Herbal Infusions – Working with the magic of plants, you will create cleansing sprays, anointing oils, and healing tisanes to integrate into your spiritual practice.
Shamanic Ritual & Energy Activation
Beyond crafting, this retreat offers a deep immersion into shamanic wisdom. Through ceremony, movement, sound, and meditation, you will explore practices that awaken, heal, and transform:
- Sacred Fire Ceremony – Release what no longer serves you and step forward with clarity and purpose through a guided fire ritual, calling upon the wisdom of the elements.
- Guided Shamanic Journeys – Enter altered states of consciousness through deep meditation, sound healing, and journeywork, allowing you to meet spirit guides, ancestors, or aspects of your higher self.
- Ancestral & Earth Connection Practices – Engage in grounding rituals, tree communication, and elemental work to deepen your relationship with the earth and the unseen realms.
Movement, Sound, & Embodiment
This retreat is not just about spiritual exploration—it is about fully embodying your transformation. Movement and sound are gateways to deeper awareness and healing, helping you to shift stagnant energy and awaken new levels of self-expression:
Sound Healing & Vocal Activation – Experience the healing vibrations of sound, whether through guided chanting, toning, or immersive sound healing journeys.
Yoga & Somatic Movement – Gentle yet powerful movement practices designed to clear energetic blockages, deepen awareness, and integrate your experiences.
Drumming & Dance – Awaken your spirit through rhythm and movement, allowing your body to express and release in a safe and supportive space.
Join us on this Journey
This retreat is for those who hear the call to go deeper, to craft their own tools of power, and to reconnect with the spirit within and the energies that surround them. Whether you are new to this path or have already begun your journey, this retreat offers an opportunity to:
- Step out of the everyday world and into sacred space, where transformation is not just possible but inevitable.
- Work with your hands to create sacred tools that hold deep personal significance and spiritual power.
- Heal and reconnect with your inner wisdom, releasing what no longer serves you and making space for clarity, trust, and alignment.
- Engage in powerful shamanic practices and ceremonies that support your awakening.
- Be held in a nurturing and supportive environment, surrounded by like-minded individuals on their own sacred journey.
Unlike traditional spiritual retreats, this experience is deeply rooted in action, embodiment, and creation. You will leave not just with knowledge and insight but with tangible sacred tools—extensions of your energy that will continue to support you in your practice long after the retreat ends.
Fire Ceremony
A fire ceremony, steeped in ancient wisdom, serves as a powerful conduit for profound spiritual transformation. As the flames dance and flicker, the act of releasing what no longer serves you becomes a sacred ritual, a symbolic surrender of burdens and limitations to the transformative embrace of the fire. The crackling flames become a mirror to the soul, reflecting the willingness to let go and create space for new beginnings. In this elemental exchange, the release of old energies is a spiritual alchemy, making way for the influx of positivity and abundance.
The fire ceremony not only purges the spirit but also serves as a beacon, inviting in the possibilities of a future adorned with joy and prosperity. As you witness the fervent glow of the fire, envision your intentions taking flight with the rising smoke, weaving dreams into the fabric of the universe. Through this sacred dance with the elements, you align your spirit with the eternal cycle of release and renewal, forging a pathway towards a life abundantly lived and joyously embraced.

Heartland Meadows Retreat is a beautiful sacred space that rejuvenates the mind, body and soul. Hosts Jenny and Dave give nurturing care and support and provide for whatever you need. Their openness and love allow everyone to feel relaxed, safe and at peace. The native environment is interspersed with many spiritual statues, chimes, words of wisdom and vibrant colour.
