Meet Our Team
Elizabeth Shelton (Administrator)
Elizabeth
For almost 58 years I shared life, love, and purpose with my beloved husband. Together we raised a beautiful family and built a life shaped by resilience, gratitude, and a deep commitment to helping others. After spending most of our lives on the land, our move to Rockhampton in 2014 marked a new chapter, one that deepened our passion for personal growth, emotional wellbeing, and the transformative power of self-worth. We had been doing this work since 2005, (see Our Story) and it quickly became a shared calling. Creating a safe, nurturing space where people could reconnect with themselves and make meaningful changes brought tremendous purpose and joy to our lives. Following the loss of my husband in 2025, I leaned heavily on the very tools we teach in our retreats. Through reflection, journalling, and reconnecting with my own inner wisdom, I found strength in the practices that had supported me through many of life's challenges and the courage to continue this important work. Today, with our dedicated team, I continue this work with deep passion and commitment. I am devoted to helping people rediscover their inner strength, cultivate genuine self-worth, and step into their fullest potential. The experiences, lessons, and wisdom gathered throughout my life continue to inspire and guide the work I do every day.
Anita
I am a wife, a mum, and a business owner. This unique retreat
was the first opportunity I had to reflect in safety and peace
on my world as I knew it. The greatest gift we can give ourselves
is to truly know ourselves. Bernie and Elizabeth kindly invited me
to be part of the team to give back to others and help support
those experiencing their retreat. It is an honour and great
privilege to companion others reflecting on their life story.
My family is most important to me and the gift the retreat has
given me in self-reflection and understanding has also given me
the tools to be an example as the mum and wife I want to be.
Scott
I am a father, self-employed carpenter/concreter. I strive to be conscious in who I am what I stand for and how I can be beneficial to others. So as part of the retreat team I’m able to share a passion in helping others and in the meantime become enlightened myself.
Natasha
I am a registered nurse, a mother to 3 beautiful adults and blessed to be married to my soul mate and best friend. This retreat is a journey of self-discovery and teaches the importance of taking time out from our busy schedules to sit and reflect in silence. I am excited to be a part of this amazing team and feel honoured to be able to share this life-changing experience with you.
Tanya
I am excited about being a member of the retreat team. From first hand experience it can change lives in just six days and seeing that transformation in others is one of my greatest joys. I am a wife, mother, grandmother and business owner. I always strive to have a deeper understanding of people; to be a better version of myself and I have a passion for helping others see their potential.

I love this retreat & I completely believe in its ability to change your life. When offered the opportunity to work with Bernie & Elizabeth presenting this material, I jumped at it. I love personal growth, gardening & living an active lifestyle, I also love going to the movies & watching T.V.
