Rendezvous Party Retreat
Theme: Spring Renaissance
August 29 - 31, 2025
Bellingen, NSW
In a misty corner of a magical valley, you'll find an enchanted castle nestled between the trees.
This is the home of Rendezvous Party Retreat, an invite only weekend at Evermoore Castle and Retreat.
Our theme for this gathering is SPRING RENAISSANCE
and we have a joyful and nourishing weekend of wellness and wonder to ensure you
emerge from winter into spring feeling radiant, clear and inspired.
We will be donating 20% of our profits to Amnesty International to support humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
Rendezvous helps you rejuvenate, rest, and return to the joy of being human.
Find your fun.
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; re-enchanting yourself through nature, contemporary rituals and allowing yourself space to receive.
MERRY MAKING
Our third pillar is Merry Making; the art of creating joy, celebrating life, and experiencing meaningful moments together.
Your Hosts, Rache and Andre
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 be offering a special Blue Lotus 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.

Celebrating and respecting Indigenous culture is a foundation of our experience, and we are honoured to have local elders open the retreat with a 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.
Nourishing Food & Celebratory Drinks
All your meals are included in your ticket price, and we strive to offer you a locally sourced Ayurvedic inspired menu from the Friday night banquet to morning coffee, tea and breaky, all the way through to our final lunch together on Sunday.
We will accomodate your dietary needs as best we can with most of the meals being vegetarian and gluten friendly.
We offer celebratory cocktails or mocktails at our Saturday night party in moderation, because for many people enjoying an occasional drink is an aspect of wellbeing. We prefer you don't BYO alcohol or substances.
Renaissance Poetry ~ Ellen Patterson
A fine curator or moods and atmospheres, Ellen is a creative being sprinkling whimsicality and joy with every breath. Propelled by insatiable curiosity she has travelled to, as well as lived in, obscure corners of the world, deepening her connection with humanity. She truly lives for art, surrealism and to uncover deeper meaning within. She wrote her first poem 10 years ago in Cuba, and has been exploring and enjoying this art form ever since.
“To be able to encapsulate what I observe: emotions, complex thoughts, metaphors, irony & injustice - so many things - all within a delightful poem, is truly a cathartic gift."
Celtic Talisman Workshop
Making art and craft is not only incredibly soothing to our nervous system, it also promotes mental, emotional, and physical well-being, whilst enhancing our creativity, boosting our mood and reducing stress and anxiety.
Together we'll harvest natural materials from the land at Evermoore and weave together a talisman, a precious object imbued with intention.
This will be a guided workshop with invitations and support for those who want it, however you are fee to craft whatever your heart desires.
Celtic Serenade with Laura Targett
We're delighted to welcome local musician Laura Targett to Rendezvous. She is a fiddler, songwriter, and musical shapeshifter with roots in Celtic and global folk traditions. Laura will; be serenading us on Friday evening as we sit down to our dinner banquet.
Laura’s music moves between genres and generations, guided by emotion, skilled musicianship, and stories born in the space between motherhood, midnight and melody.
With a background spanning traditional Irish, Middle Eastern, classical and experimental styles, Laura’s sound is rich, raw and unmistakably her own.
Blue Lotus Ritual for new beginnings
Growing at Evermoore, within Anisata Creek, is the coveted Blue Lotus flower, a symbol of wisdom, enlightenment and rebirth. The blue lotus is a spiritual symbol in ancient Egyptian and Buddhist traditions and contains alkaloids which can produce a euphoric effect as well as promote sleep and reduce anxiety.
We will be sharing a contemporary ritual working with the blue lotus flower as a symbol for our own rebirth and radiance with the option to ingest a small quantity if you choose.
What is a Party Retreat?
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 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.

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.
