Event Details
Event Description:
Escape the everyday and join Life Your Way for a relaxing Winter Break Retreat in the peaceful surrounds of Gilead. With just 6 places available, this intimate weekend away is all about slowing down, connecting with friends, and enjoying everything country life has to offer.
Spend your days exploring the property, meeting the friendly farm animals, sharing great conversations around the outdoor fire, and taking time to simply unwind. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows, enjoying the fresh country air, or relaxing with a hot drink, this retreat is the perfect opportunity to recharge.
For those looking to challenge themselves, you’ll also have the chance to experience a sauna followed by a refreshing cold plunge pool—a growing wellness trend that’s as invigorating as it is memorable. (Participation is completely optional!)
Event Details:
- Meet at: 9.00am at The Launchpad Friday
- Return: We’ll be ready for collection at 3.00 pm from The Launchpad Sunday
Client Contribution and Funding Explanation:
-
Our Retreats are designed to provide participants with meaningful opportunities to build independence, develop social connections, and participate in their community through shared experiences. To make our retreats as transparent as possible, here’s how the weekend will operate:
- NDIS Supports – Your NDIS funding will cover the support hours provided by our staff throughout the retreat, along with transport kilometres travelled during the trip where applicable under the current NDIS Pricing Arrangements.
- Accommodation – Accommodation is included in your NDIS cost as part of the STR/STA NDIS framework and pricing strcuture.
- Meals – Participants are responsible for the cost of their own meals throughout the weekend.
- When dining individually or where bills can be easily separated, participants will simply purchase their own meals on the day.
- Where we prepare meals together for sharing at the accommodation, or dine as a group where individual billing isn’t practical, Life Your Way will cover the upfront cost. The total will then be divided equally between participants and invoiced following the conclusion of the retreat.
- NDIS costs do not cover the cost of staff meals, but Life Your Way will cover individual meals purchased by staff; group meal costs will be invoiced with the group cost.
- Spending Money – Participants should also bring additional spending money should they wish to purchase drinks, merchandise, snacks, or other personal items during the weekend.
This approach allows us to keep the retreat running smoothly while ensuring costs are shared fairly and transparently. If you have any questions about how participant contributions or NDIS-funded supports apply to this retreat, our team is always happy to help.
What to Expect:
Whether you’re looking to unwind beside a crackling fire, make new memories with friends, cuddle a few farm animals, or step outside your comfort zone with a wellness challenge, this Winter Break Retreat promises a weekend of connection, relaxation, and fun in the countryside. We can’t wait to share it with you!
