We
relocated from Sydney in 1997 with the dream of
creating a retreat where people can come and relax
in a tranquil private setting. We believe with
Rainbows Reach we have found a very special
place. We feel as though we have in many ways
gone back to basics with our power being derived
from solar cells and our water supply being the
rain, there is a far closer connection with the
earth and our environment.
We
have been together for twenty
+
years and have two adult sons, Nathan &
Gareth. Our lives like many has been a
roller-coaster ride of emotional discovery and
growth . At times stretching us to the limit, but
never too far that we didn't survive. Thankfully we
were able to grow and mature through each
experience, even if the growth was loudly vocalized
at the time.
Our
philosophies are derived from many years of
training and attending workshops on Personal
empowerment, Kinergetics, Reiki, Hypnotherapy,
Tantra, Psychic awareness, massage, relationship
counseling, meditation, spiritual healing and much
more. Barry is trained in Clinical Hypnotherapy
and Gillian is a retired trained nurse, psychic,
clairvoyant, healer & medium. Within all of
the modalities that we have studied we have found a
common thread that is carried throughout. In the
most part that is the belief in oneself and
unconditional love. With these two things you
can create the perfect environment for yourself and
those around you to grow and learn in.
We
had spent our married life on the northern beaches,
raising the boys. As our lives changed so did we
and as such our beliefs also changed. Becoming more
aware of our spirituality we felt confined by
suburbia. We planned our dream of the perfect
property, sent letters to some 20+ real estate
agents all up the nth coast, we only got one reply,
this was IT.
We
don't like to limit ourselves too much, you can
miss out on so much by doing that. Simply, we
try and live as truthfully as we can. We
have no religious affiliation, rather believing in
the energy in all things. Some may call this
God (I prefer the name Cosmo). Taking
responsibility for ones-self is imperative,
recognizing the energy (god) within us all and
using that energy for the Highest Good.
Because
of our desire to learn we have gained much insight
into different healing methods, all valid in their
own way. First gaining an understanding of the
power of our own spirit then channeled spirit,
Reiki, crystals, Kinergetics, chakras, colour,
hypnotherapy, massage and so on. We incorporate all
this knowledge to practice a healing uniquely our
own. Like all people we are learning and growing
all the time and feel that sharing and exchanging
knowledge with others is an important part of our
lives.
Our
property is mostly natural bush land which
gives the real feeling of sharing with nature. From
the wallabies that come into the garden early
morning and the sugar gliders & possums that
come out at night the ever present king parrots,
kookaburras, cockatoos and more that enjoy feeding
in the gardens and on hot days the goannas that
sunbathe in the trees.
We
honour the aboriginal ancestors that walked these
lands in times gone by and welcome people from all
walks of life and beliefs. Our
only request is that people work with a positive
loving intent. We do not support a negative path of
hate or fear based beliefs.
Over
the past couple of years we have hosted workshops
on American Indian philosophies, Wiccan/Pagan
festivals, Tantra groups, Meditation and Yoga
groups, Artist retreat's and African Djembe
drumming weekends.
