Find Answers to Enhance Your Caring Heart Retreat Experience.
This retreat is lovingly designed for women caregivers — women who support a family member through disability, illness or ageing or those who give so much of themselves to the care of others.
Whether you’re a parent, a daughter, a partner or simply someone whose heart leads the way, you’ll find a soft, welcoming space here to rest, reconnect and breathe again.
While this particular retreat is for women, we deeply recognise that male caregivers also need spaces of support and restoration. If you are a male caregiver interested in future retreats, please reach out to Andrea to express your interest — we'd love to keep you updated on upcoming opportunities created just for you.

Monday 17 November — Check-in at 2:00pm

Absolutely – we’d love to help make joining the retreat as easy as possible for you. Just pop your details into the contact form and we’ll be in touch to chat about a payment plan that fits your needs and preferred frequency.
The total will simply depend on how much time is left before the final due date of 31 October 2025, when the full retreat cost will need to be completed.
Once we’ve worked it out together, we’ll send you a simple invoice with a quick payment link so it’s all smooth and stress-free.
We understand that life can be unpredictable and we’ll always do our best to approach any changes with kindness and understanding. Your place at the Caring Heart Retreat is special and once reserved it is held just for you.
If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible.
Twenty per cent of the total retreat cost (including in payment plan) is considered your deposit and is non-refundable. This helps us cover the preparations and arrangements made especially for your stay.
In very unforeseen circumstances, if you need to cancel after 31 October 2025, we reserve the right to retain the full retreat cost, as your booking will have prevented another person from securing that spot. In such cases, while the deposit cannot be transferred, we may consider transferring any remaining balance you have paid towards another Caring Heart Retreat within 12 months of your original booking.
We truly appreciate your understanding as we work together to create a beautiful and seamless experience for everyone.
