The Gawler Foundation was originally set up to help people dealing with cancer. It now offers a range of health orientated and lifestyle improvement programs. It's a place where people can learn to take control of their disease, and fight it using lifestyle changes such as meditation and a healthy diet. However, over the years the Foundation has extended its programs to help all types of people to get more out of their lives, and to live it to the full. Its meditation programs are very popular. The benefits of taking time out are essential and this serene setting is the perfect place to come and switch off while enjoying healthy, delicious food. Experiencing one of The Gawler Foundation's retreats involves a trip to the beautiful Yarra Valley, where participants can leave behind the stresses of their everyday life and enjoy an invigorating and mind changing experience.
