The Retreat runs for four days and three nights, from Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. We highly recommend staying on for one more night, to give time to integrate the beautiful learning and not be rushing on the last day. You will receive information about booking an extra night on registration.

You can book into your cabin from 3pm. Registration time at the group room is generally around 4pm on the Thursday and the retreat starts promptly after that. You will be informed of the specific registration time closer to the day. The retreat finishes at 4pm on Sunday.

Janet's Womantime Retreat is held in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland at The Ridge at Maleny, Queensland Australia.

Address: 27 Skerman Lane, Booroobin, QLD 4552

You will fill in a registration form when you book where you can inform us about any allergies. Please advise us of any special requirements you may have including vegan diets – we will do our best to meet your needs. For every meal, we have a wonderful caterer who prepares a delicious and healthy set menu, mostly vegetarian and gluten-free food.

Due to the complexities of different dietary allergies and medical needs, we cannot cater for personal preferences. However, past participants have always been delighted with the array of nourishing food to choose from.

The Resort is approximately 1 hour 15 mins drive from Brisbane Airport, and 35 minutes from the Sunshine Coast Airport. If you need to be picked up from either airport we recommend booking with Sunny Coast LUX Transfers.

Yes. As an educator, Janet is deeply committed to an environment of learning that fosters growth and emotional safety for the individual and the couple.

Over her 15 years of teaching  and 25 years of group facilitation, Janet has had a long-standing protocol in place to address the issues of trauma and creating safety for individuals. 

There are 6 core principles of trauma-informed care. These are all established within the group on the first day. They are:

Safety: Janet and her team create a physical and emotional environment where individuals and staff feel safe. This includes ensuring privacy and confidentiality.

Trustworthiness: We establish guidelines for clear, consistent and honest interactions that are respectful and transparent for the individual and group.

Choice: While encouraged to fully participate, Individuals are empowered to have choice about what they participate in and how, during the retreat. 

Collaboration: In the recognition that healing happens in relationship, Janet works in partnership and shared decision-making with participants on the first day to establish an environment of safety and mutual respect for each individual in the group fostering a sense of mutual respect and care for each person. 

Empowerment: Janet encourages individuals to recognise their own strengths, to advocate for themselves and to act upon one's own ethics. Meaning, each individual is supported for what their lived experience is, that each person's experience is unique according to their life's journey. 

Diversity: Janet encourages participants to recognise and be sensitive to cultural, historical and gender issues and differences and to refrain from any discussion that discredits any sectors.
