Ganieda Sanctuary

Ganieda Sanctuary was purchased as an undeveloped bush block by Kennan Taylor in 1991. 15 kilometres West of Albany, Ganieda straddles a ridge with views to a large lake and the coastal reserve of the Great Southern Ocean. Over the years the property has been landscaped and developed with the addition of three buildings. One is a group and conference centre, another a chalet that is anticipated to be used for residential purposes, and a third is the Taylor family home.

Ganieda is secluded and very private, and the predominantly natural bush offers a haven for bird and some wildlife. It has always been the intention that Ganieda be used as a residential retreat, and this is now in progress with the necessary planning well underway and the potential for further bush chalets and environmentally sensitive development.

Over the years Ganieda has been used for residential groups, occasional seminars and conferences. Private individuals have also come here to take advantage of the features of the property, which are used for ritual and therapeutic purposes. The wider environment of the Albany and associated regions have also be sourced, and are often used as part of these functions. There remains some limited capacity for individual stays and seminars whilst improvements are underway.

Kennan has used Ganieda for professional work, mainly the counselling and psychotherapy aspects, and has also been involved in residential therapeutic and educational groups here, by himself and in association with other professionals. These also remain available, and are structured toward demand.

The above services extend to further professional developmental programmes.

They are supported online by Foundations of Healing (a 6-10 week certificate course) and Traditional Medicine Ways (a 2 year diploma).
