Rendezvous Party Retreat
Find your fun.
September 6 - 8th, Bellingen, NSW
Welcome to a wondrous weekend of music, magic, and merrymaking in the mystical mountains of Bellingen.
We are not another wellness retreat.
We are not another festival.
We are not another party.
We are all the above, woven into a joyful rendezvous for your heart, mind and body.
We value fun, balance, spontaneity and serenity, we love to delight your senses,
and don't adhere to rules like no caffeine or a cheeky cocktail.
We understand some of you prefer sleeping under the stars to an opulent castle suite,
so we cater to both these tastes, and most things in between.
Rendezvous party retreat helps you find your fun, and remember the beauty of being human.
Our Theme: Sacred and Profane
This edition of Rendezvous is inspired by the theme Sacred and Profane, because we believe expansion comes when we follow our curiosity and explore our edges in life. Our intention is to inspire and provoke new ways of experiencing, honouring and expressing what is sacred to us.
Our theme culminates with our Masquerade Party on the Saturday night!
MUSIC
The first pillar of Rendezvous is Music; the invisible force that unites us in dance, song, rhythm and harmony.
MAGIC
Our second pillar is Magic; the practice of personal transformation, through contemporary rituals and sacred ceremony.
MERRY MAKING
Our third pillar is Merry Making; the art of creating joy, celebrating life, and experiencing meaningful moments together.
Your Hosts
Ceremonialist and Breathwork guide Rache Moore and DJ/Yogi Andre Meyer welcome you to their home for an unforgettable weekend of joy, connection and revelry. They have traveled the globe sharing their uplifting, mystical, and ecstatic experiences, and it's their great pleasure to unite like minded community in paradise at Rendezvous Party Retreat.
Andre facilitates his enlivening yoga class in the morning, and carries us through the night with his global beats and enigmatic rhythms.
Rache will guide her signature Cacao Love Ritual and guided breath experience for restoring harmony and inner radiance.
They are dedicated to honouring the sacred and celebrating the cycles of life with music, movement and magic. They reside at Evermoore in Bellingen, where they nurture heart-centred, high vibe community through events, retreats, rituals and soulful experiences.
Sacred Ceremony with Gumbaynggirr Elder Uncle Micklo
Celebrating and respecting Indigenous culture is a foundation of our experience, and we are honoured to welcome Gumbaynggirr elder Uncle Micklo to open the retreat with a smoking ceremony and welcome to country.
Contemporary Ritual is woven throughout the retreat, adding an enchanting layer of spiritual connection and exploration, deepening our relationship to the sacred within life.
Nurturing these aspects of ourselves is an essential ingredient to intrinsic happiness and a sense of wholeness.
Sacral Energy and Intimacy workshop with Juni Ross
Juni is a certified somatic sexologist and intimacy coach, with 20 years as an artist and sensory experience producer. Creativity starts with sacral energy, a natural force that life's challenges often limit. Training the mind and nervous system allows us to channel this vitality for a balanced, somatically aware life.
Sexual and creative potential is incredibly potent but often repressed by life's disappointments, such as shame, judgment, or lack of education. My work helps individuals unlock and harness this force for a more fulfilling, erotically empowered life.
Immersive Sound Journey with Marc Tomkinson
Our dear friend Marc joins Rendezvous to share his sonic sacred experience. Mark is a master of frequency, holistic health coach, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, quantum healer and the founder of BuddhaBar Experience.
Pioneering the future of sound healing for well-being. Marc creates unique sound journeys that blend electronic soundscapes with neuroscience, technology and live 432hz world instruments.
His unique style, ever-evolving sounds and vast collection of skills curate a
deeply immersive experience. Marc’s live performances are interactive,
transformative and intentionally curated to elevate the mind, body & spirit.
What is a Party Retreat?
We believe fun is the most underrated aspect of wellbeing, and that wellness encompasses the things that bring us pleasure, not only nourishing food, pristine nature, and inspirational conversations and activities, also partying, costumes, feasting and even a cheeky cocktail if you desire, because experiencing joy is a non-negotiable aspect of wellbeing.
We believe retreats exist to inspire and refine ourselves so that we can return to our lives changed in some way.
We want everyone to enjoy themselves whilst remaining clear and present. So, if you choose to enjoy a cocktail or two, moderation is appreciated, and we encourage you to please save substances for another occasion, Rendezvous is not the place for pills and powder.

The Venue
Evermoore Castle is a beautiful three-level chateau located on a lush 12-acre property just ten minutes from Bellingen town. It was designed and built by Rache's Aunt Barbara.
During your stay you can explore the river, forest, and even make a trip into Bellingen to look around.
The Disco Studio and Homestead are located 100 metres away, overlooking the mountain range with a huge wrap around verandah and indoor fireplace.
We have space for several tents and campervans on the land for those who prefer to sleep closer to the earth.
