Yoga & Meditation Retreat | Yarra Valley Living Centre | Yarra Junction 29/11/2021

In recent times, we have received many requests for our holistic retreats. It has been a deeply challenging time for many. As you know, we have also found these past couple of years very difficult, to the extent that we've had to completely reimagine the way forward.

We are so very happy here at the Gawler Foundation to be able to share with you the renewal of Yarra Valley Living Centre (www.yvlc.org) and on facebook under the same name- Yarra Valley Living Centre.

Our very good friends at The Brahma Kumaris stepped in as custodians of the Centre to enable it to carry on.
Please have a look at the new website and see the numerous offerings - retreats, online events and membership - that are enriching, nourishing and healing.
I'm sure that you'll find something that responds to your interests and to the needs of our time.

Yoga & Meditation Retreat | Yarra Valley Living Centre | Yarra Junction Our holistic spiritual retreats deal with mind, body and spirit. At the Yarra Valley Living Centre you enter a bubble that is like touching paradise. You relax, eat delicious and nutritious plant-based food, meditate, heal, rest, connect with yourself, like-minded others and exquisite nature.

‘You Have Cancer’. The 3 scariest words you’ll ever hear, this was Cindy’s reality in early 2020…

Dealing with a new diagnosis and navigating through the bumpy terrain of treatment is a path we would never choose for ourselves…

Our lives are busy enough.
We have dreams.
Goals.
Families to look after.

Now, life seems even more frenetic being on a merry-go-round of tests, scans and appointments.

Cindy knows what it’s like to endure treatment, she’s been there too.
We wish for it to just disappear.
So we can get back to our usual routine.
Unfortunately, there is no quick fix to get through it all, as much as we’d love to just rush through to the other side…

The most helpful thing she did was to S-L-O-W down. Slow W-A-Y down. But in this crazy world where do you even start?

Amidst her darkest hours in treatment, Cindy created the book she wished she had been given on diagnosis. This book is for every woman navigating a cancer journey.

It’s a guidebook from a woman who’s been there and filled with mindfulness practices, self-inquiry questions and journaling pages to bring ease and comfort.

Explore the themes of grief, denial and anger, loneliness, hurt, loss, courage, comfort, self-care, soulfulness and sovereignty.

Lovingly written for you as a safe space to capture and reflect on your journey.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Are you ready for guidance, compassion, space, hope, connection, inspiration, love, awakening, growth, spirituality and healing?

Ready for more reverence for yourself and what is sacred to you?

Ready for more clarity from a woman who has already traversed this path?

Welcome to your Healing Journal.

Cindy’s trusted guidebook has been created to navigate your cancer journey and is your permission slip to heal your body, mind and soul…

Our Story

The Gawler Cancer Foundation was established in 1983 as a non-profit, non-denominational organisation to provide innovative and integrated support and lifestyle programs for people affected by cancer.

Consistent with the principles of integrated medicine, our cancer programs apply an evidence-based self-help approach, designed to support your medical plan and improve both quantity and quality of life.

The Foundation remains responsive to new research, industry insights and the changing needs of the people who access our programs.

We have helped many thousands of people affected by cancer, including their families, carers and friends. We’ve seen prognosis challenged and lives transformed.

In addition to cancer programs, the Foundation offers a range of other healing programs including: the popular Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis program led by Professor George Jelinek and his medical team, the Outpace Parkinson’s and Mindbody Medicine program led by Professor Sanjay Raghav, and Reclaiming Joy led by Drs Ruth and Ian Gawler and Melissa Borich.

We also offer a wide variety of General Wellbeing and Teacher Training programs centred around our 7 Essential Elements for good health and wellbeing.
