Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat ‘Inspirations’ Giveaway

23 January, 2012

How do I begin to describe Gwinganna?

Heaven on Earth? Absolutely. A game-changer? No doubt. A place that will unhinge your resistance, unlock the buried (and beautiful) parts of your soul and inspire you to make changes – whether radical or subtle – to your life so you’re living the best possible version of you? A million gazillion percent yes.

Can you tell I’m fanatical about the place?

As proof that vision boards and manifesting your desires go hand in hand, a few years ago I had a nice, big image of the retreat on my board, with the words “I am enjoying a weekend at Gwinganna” written in red underneath.

Not long after, I started my current job and got talking to Gwinganna’s Marketing Manager, the glorious Tracy, who epitomises everything the place stands for – calm and centred, caring and mega positive – and she invited me to come and spend the weekend to try out their brand new luxury villas. Insert ZOMG x infinity! This was huge!

Of course, I leapt at the chance and had one of the most relaxing, rewarding and eye-opening experiences of my life. I was in awe of the staff who were on a mission to spread the word on health and wellness in a very big way, and mingling with others who were relishing in the journey as much as I was left me totally inspired.

If you’re on the fence about health retreats and thinking you kinda maybe sorta might like to visit one, I should let you know that Gwinganna wins pretty much every spa award under the sun and Hugh Jackman loved his visit so much he returned to become part-owner. Nice.

Giveaway Time

Tracy has been kind enough to give me 5 copies of Gwinganna’s ‘Inspirations’ coffee table book (RRP $19.95) to give away to In Spaces Between readers. Hooray!

Check out a few snapshots of the pages below:

To Enter

Simply leave a comment under this post before 9am Friday 27 January, 2012.

Any comment will do – you can tell us why you’d love a copy of the book, what appeals to you about the retreat, or about your Gwinganna experience if you’ve been before – and a winner will be selected using random.org and contacted by email.

Best of luck x

Wait, wait, there’s more!

Gwinganna have also very generously shared one of their incredible recipes with us all, so if you’re need some inspiration for dinner tonight, why not give this baby a go? Delicious.

Coconut Crusted Snapper

1 kg snapper
1 cup desiccated coconut
¼ cup sesame seeds
½ bunch fresh coriander
