Petrea King and Quest for Life Foundation

Petrea King and Quest for Life Foundation Providing skills & strategies to empower people, organisations, communities in crises to heal

Founded by Petrea King in 1989, the Quest for Life Foundation provides intensive educational programs and workshops that encourage and empower people with the tools to create emotional resilience, healing and peace of mind. Assisting people from all walks of life we provide a proven, effective and holistic approach to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Set in 9 acres of landscaped gardens, the Quest for Life Centre provides an oasis for time out and an ideal environment for reflection, healing and the learning of new and valuable life skills. Thousands of people journey to the Centre to find a safe haven in which to begin or continue their healing journey. The Centre also provides an opportunity to intensively train facilitators, therapists, counsellors, nurses, doctors and other professionals from around Australia. As a charity, Quest is committed to making programs accessible to everyone in need of them and has DG1 status. It is often those who can least afford our programs who need them the most. Please consider helping Quest reach more people by making a donation or a gift in your will.

Itโ€™s always so special to see how others capture our surrounds through their own eyes.

Our grounds are more than just scenery โ€” they are part of the healing journey. A place to pause. To breathe. To reflect. To gently reconnect with yourself. ๐ŸŒฟ

Through her lens, Barbra has captured not just the beauty of the landscape, but the sense of peace and possibility that so many women experience here.

Thank you, Barbra, for sharing your perspective with our community. ๐Ÿ’›

We are so grateful to Naomi, a recent participant of our Moving Beyond Trauma โ€“ Just for Women program, for creating and sharing this beautiful video about her time with us.

In her own words and reflections, Naomi captures something that can be hard to describe โ€” the safety, connection and transformation that happens when women come together in a nurturing, trauma-informed space. ๐Ÿ’›

Join Rachael Rogan for our next with Quest livestream as we explore the quiet strength of self-acceptance and the subtle, transformative nature of real progress.

Sometimes we think progress should be loud. Visible. Dramatic.
But often, the most powerful healing happens quietly. ๐Ÿ’›

True progress is not always about doing more. Sometimes it is about softening. About accepting where you are. The courage to simply 'be' can shape your capacity to heal, adapt and thrive. And wherever you are right nowโ€ฆ that is enough.

๐ŸŽฅ In this powerful video, Quest Facilitator Austin Stewart shares why The Heard Man is such an important program for men.

So many men carry grief, stress, anger, disappointment or silent pressure โ€” often without the space to speak about it. The Heard Man is designed to change that. ๐Ÿค

This is not about fixing men.
Itโ€™s about hearing them.
Itโ€™s about creating a safe, respectful and supportive space where men can:

โœ” Speak honestly without judgement
โœ” Reconnect with their strength and purpose
โœ” Learn practical tools for resilience
โœ” Build meaningful connection with other men
โœ” Heal in a holistic, trauma-informed environment

If you, or a man in your life, has been carrying more than he should alone โ€” this weekend could be the turning point.

๐Ÿ“† If you're ready to begin your own healing journey, there are still a few places available in our upcoming The Heard Man program, running 6โ€“8 March 2026:

โ€œWhen we loosen our grip on the way we think our life is supposed to look, we discover a life filled with possibilities.โ€ โ€“ Janine Shepherd AM

Weโ€™re delighted to share a beautiful offering with the Quest community from long-time colleague of Petrea and cherished friend of Quest, Janine Shepherd AM. โœจ

Many in our community will remember Janine speaking about the โ€œin-between spacesโ€ โ€” those moments when the unexpected, the unthinkable or the unimaginable reshapes everything. The space where what was no longer fitsโ€ฆ and whatโ€™s next has not yet fully revealed itself.

Janine knows this space intimately.

As an Australian cross-country skier training for the Olympics, her life changed in an instant when she was hit by a truck during a training ride. Critically injured, she survived against all odds. ๐Ÿ™

What followed was an extraordinary reinvention โ€” from elite athlete to acclaimed author and aerobatics pilot.

Janine Shepherd Author | Motivational Speaker is now offering a free seven-part audio series, โ€œA Quiet Companion: Living in the In-Between,โ€ created for anyone navigating lifeโ€™s threshold moments โ€” when certainty dissolves and possibility is still forming.

If you are moving through change, loss, uncertainty or transition, this gentle series may offer comfort, reflection and perspective ๐ŸŒฟ

You can access the free audio series here:

A free-seven part audio series for anyone navigating lifeโ€™s threshold moments - those spaces where what was no longer fits, and whatโ€™s next hasnโ€™t yet arrived.
