By Simone Du Toit. In 1983 Petrea King was diagnosed with a serious disease and was expected not to live. She found meditation and working through traumatic experiences from her past was paramount to her recovery, leading her to establish the Quest for Life Foundation. She is the also the subject of Blackmores Chairman, Marcus Blackmores blog - Someone who inspires me.

The Quest for Life Centre covers nine tree filled acres in the beautiful Southern Highlands of Bundanoon, NSW and provides and an “oasis for time out and an ideal environment for reflection, healing and the learning of new and valuable life skills.”

The centre was paid for in 1998 by a generous benefactor and the NSW Health Department supports its programs by providing an annual grant to subsidise places for people on low incomes. Further fundraising by Quest also provides limited additional subsidies to enable those in dire financial stress to attend their programs.

The Quest for Life Foundation provides a range of residential programs and services that encourage, empower and educate people living with serious illnesses, or who are suffering from grief, stress or trauma and for those who care for them. Petrea and her team of facilitators, counsellors, naturopaths and therapists provide the latest information on naturopathic, meditation and neuroscience’s most current perspectives.

All programs are tailored to support individuals exactly where they are, and help each person find their own best answers. For more information on the Quest for life services including residential programs, day programs, webinars and tailor made programs go here.
