TAKE SOME HEALING TIME OUT FOR YOURSELF

By participating in Scott's SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT and HEALING Retreats

For years Scott searched to find answers, attending one spiritual development circle after another. He did so because he yearned to discover the answer to one simple question: "Who am I?" Within that question was his desire to discover the reasons for his life experiences, why he was here and what his purpose was. And these few simple questions led him on the most exciting, life-changing, soul-enhancing adventure of of his life.

And now Scott invites you to embark on your own life-changing, soul-enhancing adventure.

By attending Scott's Spiritual Development and Healing Retreats, you will spend quality time with a guy who knows what it feels like to yearn, search and wonder. After years of personal development, healing and growth, Scott believes it's time to share some simple (and some not so simple) techniques that will inevitably see you access your own true self, develop your intuition and reconnect with Spirit.

So if you yearn to:

• Remember who you are, why you're here and why life has unfolded the way it has
• Reclaim or deepen your connection to the Earth Mother and the Creator Spirit
• Hone your intuition, psychic abilities, self-love, trust and passion

Then, come along to one of Scott's retreats. You will be pleased that you did.

The Retreat will be run at 'Glenbarr Homestead'

Situated on the outskirts of the historic township of Strathalbyn, “Glenbarr” (settled by Scottish pioneer William Rankine Esq. and his family in 1842) is a beautiful homestead nestled deep within the eastern foothills of the Adelaide Hills. Flanked by the winding ‘Middle Creek’, Glenbarr is 14 hectares (35 acres) of gently undulating grazing and farming land lightly scattered with impressive red gums. A pleasant 45-minute drive from Adelaide through the beautiful Adelaide Hills, Glenbarr is but a short walk to the Strathalbyn Town Centre and historic High Street with its antique, craft and coffee shops.

Surrounded by rolling hills, picturesque valleys, tall gums and farming country, the charming historic town of Strathalbyn is by far one of South Australia's most beautiful country towns. The “unofficial antique capital” of South Australia, Strathalbyn is home to one of Australia's most beautiful and photographed churches (St Andrews). Strathalbyn is beautiful, with the River Angus flowing down from the ranges through the town’s centre. A short 10 minute drive will deliver you into the award winning Langhorne Creek wine district ... and a slightly longer (20 minute) drive will take you to the Historic port town of Milang, situated on the banks of Lake Alexandrina.

The Barn ... our Retreat Space:

Our retreat will be run in what was Glenbarr's original Barn; a beautiful and historic space that has been completely transformed into a venue capable of seating up to 60 guests! With large, full glass windows and doors that look out over the rural estate, the Barn has part polished jarrah and carpeted floors, comfortable upholstered chairs, air conditioning and tea and coffee making facilities. How comfy does that sound?

Accommodation:

Retreat participants will sleep in newly built shared dormitories, each containing four single beds and one double bunk. The humble sleeping quarters open out on to wide balconies that face north, with south-facing windows that overlook the creek and lush bushland setting. Designed in a classic style to compliment the historic buildings, the rooms are insulated and fitted with ceiling fans.

Meals:

All meals are supplied and will be prepared by the ‘in-house’ Glenbarr cooks and served in the original stone building that was once the stables. Converted and renamed, the atmospheric 'Stable Inn' dining room is where all our meals will be enjoyed as a group.
