Our Southern Highlands community is grieving 💔

Our thoughts are with Lily Hooper’s family, friends and loved ones following the heartbreaking news of her death.

We also want to acknowledge the many police, emergency service personnel, search and rescue teams and volunteers who gave so much of themselves over the past eight days in the search for Lily.

The impact of a tragedy like this reaches far beyond those directly involved. Our community may be feeling sadness, shock, helplessness or simply a sense of heaviness.

*Please be gentle with yourselves and with one another in the days ahead.*

To Lily’s family and friends, we extend our deepest condolences. 🕊️
To everyone who searched, responded and supported: thank you.

✨ YOU DON’T NEED ANOTHER WELLNESS RETREAT ✨
You may need something much more targeted.

Introducing…
🌿 THE NERVOUS SYSTEM RECOVERY RETREAT
6–9 October 2026 | Bundanoon, NSW
A four-day, clinically facilitated trauma recovery experience for people who have been carrying the effects of chronic stress, trauma, burnout or nervous system overload for long enough.
This is not about escaping your life for a few days.
It is about creating the time, space and clinical support to understand what your nervous system has been carrying — and begin to work with it differently.
THIS IS CLINICAL TRAUMA CARE.
An intentionally small, professionally facilitated experience combining:
✨ Evidence-based trauma therapy
✨ Nervous system stabilisation
✨ Trauma processing & structured integration
✨ Expert clinical facilitation
✨ Restorative practices in a private Southern Highlands setting

YOUR EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:
🧠 Expert trauma clinicians
Including EMDR Consultants with extensive trauma expertise.
🏡 Private ensuite accommodation
Accommodation within the tranquil Southern Highlands.
🍽️ Chef-curated dining
Nourishing, professionally prepared meals throughout your stay.
📖 Clinical workbook
Practical resources to support your ongoing recovery.

Designed around privacy, clinical safety and personalised support.
And most importantly…
Space to step away from the demands of everyday life and focus on your recovery.

✨ ONLY 12 PLACES AVAILABLE
We have deliberately capped the retreat at 12 participants.
Not because we want to create artificial scarcity.
Because clinical safety, privacy and personalised support matter.
Once the 12 places are filled, registration will close.

6–9 OCTOBER 2026
BUNDANOON, SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS NSW
If you've found yourself thinking:
“I need something more than weekly therapy.”
This may be the experience you've been looking for.
RESERVE YOUR PLACE via [email protected] or SMS 0492843978

Delivered by The Stress & Trauma Clinic at Petrea King and Quest for Life Foundation
🌿 12 places. One intimate clinical retreat.

We’ve been working on something! 🐿️

Something designed to create space for rest, regulation, recovery and reconnection.

We’re keeping the details quiet for now…
But not for much longer.

The reveal is coming.

Stay tuned. ✨
