The Australia Virtual Caregiver Wellness Retreat is an online wellness experience guided by professional clinicians and self-care experts specializing in rare disease caregiving. You will gain experience, education and empowerment to reconnect you with the person you were before epilepsy touched your life. Many of our participants tell us they feel “invisible” before coming to our retreat experience and they leave feeling empowered and excited. 

We see you. We developed this Virtual Retreat to give you tools, experiences and healing within a supportive community of caregivers and your support network who understand you. 

Raregiversis proud to off a retreat in partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation of Australia. Our U.S. based organization has always been global and we are honored to bring our research-backed methodology to Australia in March, 2023. We have worked together with the University of New South Wales to put our retreat through an intense Independent Review Board to gain ethics approval for the first time and have an even better experience waiting for you.
