"These programs give you the tools to lead a more meaningful life. Each day builds on the day before to increase this knowledge. It does not prescribe but offers insights. The participant can accept or reject these." - Elizabeth
"All my impressions of QFL, its objectives and program content were exceeded. Staff were warm and empathic, accommodation and venue first rate, while the food was imaginative and excellent. Daily programs were wonderfully and richly constituted with superb facilitation." - Professor Gordon Parker AO, Scientia Professor, School of Psychiatry UNSW
