About the Quest for Life Foundation
Quest for Life programs and services address the challenges of cancer, grief, depression or other trauma and provide practical self-help strategies for increasing peace, healing and wellbeing.
Our resources, seminars and residential programs educate, inspire and encourage people to make meaning of their circumstances and actively create an environment for physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
Our staff draw on their extensive professional training and experience to help you regain an inner stability in the midst of your challenges. Their compassion and understanding are borne from years of working and training in this often challenging arena.
The Quest for Life Foundation was established in 1989 by Petrea King to further her work. Since her recovery from leukaemia in 1984, Petrea has devoted her life to counselling people, facilitating support groups, running residential programs and lecturing widely on health and healing.
The Quest for Life Centre opened in Bundanoon in the beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW in May 1999. The Centre, set in 9 tree filled acres, provides an oasis for time out and an ideal environment for reflection, healing and the learning of new and valuable life skills.
After 10 years of operating at the Centre in Bundanoon, the Quest for Life Foundation leased the property to the Harmony Centre Foundation to share the use of our beautiful facility. This enables Quest facilitators to deliver programs throughout the community as well as conducting their residential programs at the Centre each month. By taking Quest for Life programs out to the wider community, people who found it difficult to get to the Foundation’s residential Centre at Bundanoon can benefit from the programs that have already helped over 80,000 people.
2010 sees the implementation of a new range of services including introductory evenings, counselling, support groups, webinars and an online educational video hub. The NSW Health Department supports the 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 financial stress to attend our programs.

Hi Petrea, Wendi and all at Quest
I love these blogs and would like to share them with my wider community. Could a button to “share” on facebook etc be added? Is this possible?
Many thanks

Hi Kaye,
Thanks for your request. We can look into this, however the best way to do this is to click ‘Like’ on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/petreaking as we post all blog posts on Facebook and you can easily share from there.
