Until 2008, the Permaforest Trust was a permaculture education centre which accommodated students studying permaculture.  Create Your Reality has been using this venue since 2003 for the all the Qi Gong Retreats.  Permaculture is a land usage science/art which strives to create optimal sustainability with minimum effort.  Qi Gong is the same, it attempts to create sustainability of our internal energy with a minimum of effort.  The venue helps to shows us what we are also trying to create within.

The property is approximately 100 acres of gentle rolling hills consisting of 3 main buildings, gardens, pastoral land, three Dams and a spring-fed creek.  Everythng is solar powered.

 GOANNA - Dining and Recreation

Goanna consists of an outdoor kitchen, dining and recreation area, and an adjacent indoor lounge with an indoor and outdoor fireplace. It is surrounded by lush gardens.

The Zen House accommodates 20 guests with a combination of private and share rooms.  It is passive solar so it is warm in winter and cool in summer.  It has hot showers and flush toilets.

There is also an outdoor bath which
 is amazing at night after a big day
of Qi Gong and forest adventures.

The Dojo - Qi Gong Practice Venue

The Dojo is perched on a hilltop with views of surrounding hills and forest.  It was designed for Aikido practice, so the whole floor is a soft mat and it designed to stay cool on hot days, perfect for Qi Gong practice and lectures.  It has an awesome window which opens one side of the building into nature.
