Richard Rohr mused that, "The first half of life is writing the text, and the second half is writing the commentary on that text." Carl Jung thought the first 40 years (the first half of life) were a "preparation" period for our self-becoming. We gather data, learn about the world, and figure out who we are. "Life really does begin at 40. Up until then, you are just doing research," he said.

Internal Family Systems
Our Internal Family Systems Retreat helps you identify and understand the various "parts" of your inner system, leading to a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. You’ll begin by getting an overview of this healing therapy and learn how it can transform your relationships and wellbeing.
You’ve probably come across the concept of the "inner child." It is rooted in Carl Jung's work, particularly his idea of the Child archetype.
Jung believed that this archetype, residing in the unconscious, influences our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours as adults.
The Self is considered our true nature, our deepest, most authentic self.
This core essence has an inherent capacity for healing and wisdom. It is the source of qualities like compassion, clarity, and confidence, and it acts as the leader of the internal system, guiding and harmonising the various "parts" of our mind.
In this retreat program, you’ll learn about this underlying consciousness that holds your parts together and how it can bring them into health, reconciling our wounds and allowing our best self to flourish.

Counselling Blue Mountains
ranspersonal counselling takes a big picture approach to our lives. One of the pioneers of the field was Carl Jung.
He was a transpersonal counsellor who witnessed a major shift in his patient’s issues after midlife.
During the first half of life, up until around age 40, we focus on careers, financial stability and relationships. Our focus is on gaining strength, confidence and stability.
Many people enter the midlife passage, or the second half of life, with a career, a family, friends and feel something is acutely missing. Our desire for wholeness asserts itself.

R?elationship Retreat
"During our couples retreat, we found great value in being listened to and having someone outside our relationship analyse our situation and then help us in the most spiritual, emotional, practical and holistic way. I would definitely recommend the experience to everyone that needs help in their relationship and personal growth! "
