Event description

Let Nature Heal You

Take time to nurture yourself down by the river and in the forest. We understand that when you've been diagnosed with cancer there's a lot to process. From navigating health systems to learning new terminology, the learning curve is steep. Making treatment decisions, attending appointments, and the rigors of treatment all take an emotional and physical toll on the person dealing with the disease and everyone who loves them. That's why we've created this weekend retreat. Take a little time away from it all and be nurtured in nature, only 2.5 hours from Perth. You can be as active or as restful as you wish, with options including gentle guided yoga and meditation, mindful forest walks, massage, connection with self, nature, and other people who 'get it', or simply sit by the flowing Capel River to contemplate. 

Our comfortable, modern, eco chalet accommodation is fully equipped, wheelchair accessible, and has a range of bedroom choices. Choose a private room with ensuite, private room with shared bathroom, or a shared room. All meals are provided and feature all the colours of the rainbow in delicious, healthy experiences, lovingly prepared to nourish all your senses. 

Hosted by Chandrika Gibson, owner of Surya Health who is an experienced yoga therapist, naturopath, patient educator for Cancer Council WA, Cancer Support WA, Solaris Cancer Care, melanoma WA, and Breast Cancer Care WA, and PhD researcher in cancer care, you will be expertly supported to feel and heal in your own way. Chandrika is supported by caring professionals who will provide catering, massage, and mindfulness in nature.
