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.

Many people in the Quest community speak about moments that can’t quite be explained — experiences that arrive in times of grief, illness or deep vulnerability, and quietly remind us of connection, meaning and resilience. 🌱

In this new episode of the S**t Happy podcast with Toni Powell, Petrea King joins others to share real-life stories that speak to those moments. From unexpected signs during times of loss, to encounters that arrive exactly when they’re needed, these stories explore how resilience, presence and hope can show up in surprising ways. 💫

It’s a gentle, moving listen that touches on wellbeing, mental health, loss and the quiet strength that carries people through life’s hardest chapters — themes that sit at the heart of the Quest experience.

Last weekend, most of our beautiful facilitation team gathered to film a special presentation with Petrea and Wendie, who spoke on the history and guiding philosophies of Quest for Life — exploring not just what we do, but why we do it the way we do. 📹

Created to support both current and future facilitators, this resource will help deepen understanding of the Quest process, our values, and the foundations that shape every program we offer.

When our facilitators are grounded in the heart of Quest for Life, it strengthens the care, consistency and integrity of the programs we deliver — and ultimately, the support we offer to those who come to us.

A meaningful step in nurturing our team and the work we’re here to do. ✨

Last week at Quest for Life, Lisa joined our Healing Your Life program — and her reflections beautifully capture what this experience can offer.

She shared how coming to Quest helped her reconnect with who she truly is… her first nature. Through the week, she found connection with others, the freedom to be herself more fully, and something she hadn’t felt for a while — joy. 💛
