I have been here at Highwood for over three weeks and have really enjoyed my time here. We are located about 2 hours north-east from Melbourne about 3 km from Narbethong, a town which was wiped out by the devastating bushfire in February. It is obvious how only God in his power protected the Highwood property which is like a green patch in alot burned bush!
I had the privilege to help out in the Health Center and to experience a full 3 week program here. I helped in theraphies as massages, steam bath and fomentation, in the kitchen, which I really enjoyed, in the garden and as well in the Health Center with various little jobs.

Music playes a really important part at Highwood. That makes it really beautiful and encouraged me to keep up with my violin playing!
