Frequently Asked Questions

If you are deciding between a women’s mini retreat and a workplace wellbeing program, or you simply want to understand how Mindingu works, you are in the right place. If your question is not covered below, please contact us and we will respond as soon as we can.

Women’s Retreats: Booking and Practical Details

  • Retreat bookings are made online via our booking page. Once payment is received, your place is confirmed and you will receive an email with your booking details.

  • Women’s mini retreats are held at the Mindingu Centre in the Ferguson Valley, near Bunbury, Western Australia. The exact address and arrival details are provided after booking.

  • Most retreats are designed as half-day experiences. Each event listing includes the start and finish time, so you can plan your day with confidence.

  • We recommend comfortable clothing, a light layer for warmth, a water bottle, and anything you enjoy journalling with. If your retreat includes gentle movement or outdoor time, closed-toe shoes can be helpful.

  • No experience is needed. Everything is guided in a way that is practical, welcoming, and designed for real life rather than perfect calm.

  • Many women attend because life feels full and they want space to reset. The retreat is designed to be supportive and gently paced. If you are unsure whether a retreat is right for you, please contact us and we can talk it through.

  • No. Our retreats are educational and wellbeing-focused. They draw on evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment principles and self-compassion, but they are not clinical therapy and they are not a substitute for mental health treatment.

  • Because places are limited and each retreat involves preparation, cancellation terms apply. Our standard approach is to offer a transfer to a future date when sufficient notice is provided. The exact notice period and options will be listed on the booking page for your retreat. If you are unwell or something unexpected happens, contact us as soon as possible and we will respond with care.

  • If a retreat needs to be cancelled or rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances, you will be offered a transfer to a future date or a refund, depending on your preference.

  • If you have access needs, please contact us before booking so we can confirm what is possible for the specific retreat and space setup. We will always aim to make participation as comfortable as we reasonably can.

  • Yes, and many women do. Each person needs their own booking, as places are limited and we plan for group size carefully.

  • Yes. Gift vouchers are available or can be arranged. Contact us and we will organise a simple option that suits you.

Workplace Wellbeing: Programs and Enquiries

  • We provide evidence-informed workplace wellbeing programs, including talks, workshops, and multi-session training designed to build psychological flexibility and resilience in real workplace conditions. Programs can be delivered onsite across Bunbury and the South West, or hosted at the Mindingu Centre.

  • Programs are suitable for organisations and teams who want practical skills that support wellbeing, communication, and values-led action under pressure. They are also a strong fit for HR and People and Culture leaders seeking proactive wellbeing initiatives that sit alongside, rather than replace, existing support services such as EAPs.

  • No. Our workplace work is non-clinical, skills-based, and designed for professional settings. We focus on practical tools that support resilience and psychological flexibility, without asking employees to disclose personal information.

  • Yes. Many organisations have specific pressures, roles, and operational realities. We can tailor content and delivery format to your needs while keeping the program grounded in evidence-informed principles.

  • Yes. We work with a range of organisations across Bunbury and the South West, including small businesses and teams that want practical wellbeing support without a heavy time commitment.

  • You can submit a workplace enquiry through our contact form. If you share your location, team size, and what you are aiming to achieve, we can recommend a suitable format and provide a proposal.

  • Yes. We offer a practical HR guide designed to support proactive workplace wellbeing planning. You can download it from our Workplace Wellbeing page, and you can unsubscribe from emails at any time.
