WSF Spiritual weekends

Scheduled Scheduled twice in each quarter, and begin on a Friday evening through to about 4:00pm Sunday. They are designed to allow a relaxed atmosphere in which members and their guests or visitors and prospective members may get together to enjoy a light program of activities and time to enjoy the surroundings and one another's company.

Each weekend will be led and coordinated by a WSF committee member or other senior member, with the assistance of Audrey and Garth in whatever role they may be called upon - but it will be that leader's prerogative to select the activities, topics, etc. and to put their personality and preferences into making the weekend a success.

 Activities may include:

  • Meditation (led or by utilising the many excellent meditation tapes available in the library);
  • Discussion sessions (with topics to be pre-selected by democratic choice of participants from a suggested list - or otherwise determined by the group);
  • Viewing videos (an excellent selection of spiritualist subject matter is available);
  • Experimental work with physical phenomena, ESP, pioneer-type methods of communication, etc.;
  • Sing-alongs, chanting, drumming, impromptu entertainment, whatever! By an evening camp fire (cooler seasons) or just under the gum trees and stars (fire restriction season);
  • Bush-walks and other light exercise - Tai chi, etc.
The cost of a Spiritual Weekend has been set at $150 for the full 48 hours program, inclusive of 2 nights accommodation and all meals, but is on a BYO linen and towel basis. We need a minimum of just 4 bookings to confirm a start, and this covers the cost of the leader's place. (Leaders do not get paid but get a free place - so there you are, get your own group together and have a great weekend). Please contact us for booking your weekend!

Woodlands Sanctuary is the private property of Garth and Audrey Willey, bought back in 1977 'on impulse.' The property is 16 hectares (220 metres frontage by 725 metres depth) in an area classified as "Rural Conservation."

It has been registered with the Victorian DNRE "Land for Wildlife" scheme since 1992 and the bush areas are the habitat of many flora and fauna species. Wombats, wallabies and echidnas are common - as are rabbits, foxes and bull ants! And less frequently spied creatures are goannas, kangaroos, koala bears, fallow deer, snakes, scorpions and the like.

Bird life abounds, attracted by the native vegetation; and favourites are the kookaburras, wedge-tailed eagles, robins and wrens visiting in wintertime, and the periodic migration of gang-gang cockatoos.
