Author Gillian Andrews has been writing historical fiction for more than ten years. She writes about women who dare to question the politics around how women are treated in the society of the day and sets out to change them so that she can truly achieve her full potential.

Gillian combines her love of writing about women who are in search of themselves, with her desire to inspire women through her wellness retreats. Each venue is a path, a story towards the transition of a woman’s life. Gillian has years of experience as a leader in several different fields. She has taught fitness classes for adults and children, facilitated spiritual book studies, and been a part of designing women’s retreats. She finds great satisfaction in watching the changes that takes place as women discover their true path. She is a trained Stephen Minister, helping people in crisis, and her 26 years of spiritual study has changed the direction of her own life, and she now hopes to assist others in changing the direction of theirs. 

Karen is the creator of Peacock Memories Retreat. Struggling with grief for six years following the passing of her youngest daughter, she healed her grief and found her power within (her What’s Next).

Karen began her journey of finding self-love along with her passion for being a spiritual person, which led her to becoming a Certified Dare to Declare Vision Board Facilitator. This was the start of wanting to learn more to become a full circle Wellness Centre. She is now Certified as a Practitioner in the following fields, NLP, Hypnotherapy, Reiki. She is also a doTerra Wellness Advocate, certified in Aroma Touch Therapy and the creator of the Peacock Relaxation Session.

Karen has a mission in life to help others find their What’s Next at a younger age than she did. Life is a short journey for some, don’t look  back and wish you had done something different. Join us at our Imagine Wellness Retreat and change the direction you choose, to walk, on your journey.

In addition to a long career in Financial Services and raising 3 kids, Arlene has been "creating" in one way or another her entire life.  She has played in all mediums of arts and craft making, spending the last 7 years as a professional artist and instructor.  

During the past 3 years (as a result of the Pandemic) she has been focusing on her next journey of creativity - building tiny houses on her property out east!  

Creativity knows no bounds and through her art-making and her travels there is always something new on the horizon. 

Having discovered her own What's Next? about 10 years ago, she is happy to share her journey and insights with all of you.
