Mullaway Drumming Retreat 2025

Venue

The main house where we will be drumming is at 49 Mullaway Dr, Mullaway.

If you are haven’t been before, please note that the drumming component of the retreat is a women’s-only space. Any social events are open to all.

Accommodation 

I know lots of you have already sorted this but if anyone needs any help with this, let me know. There are limited choices within walking distance from the drumming venue/house but there are few good options within a 10min drive.

Catering 

There will be tea/coffee, snacks, fruit, etc. provided and available all day during classes (vegan & GF options). We will take breaks from drumming whenever we need them. Lunch is DIY/BYO and we allow a decent chunk of time to go back to our separate accom if we want to, or BYO and stay at the house, walk on the beach, picnic on the headland… etc. This is time for you to rest and recharge - do what you need.

We will arrange at least one group dinner on Friday eve for those who are keen and it will probably be in Woolgoolga.

If you need any transport to shop or for someone to pick something up for you, please let me know or chat to the group.

Timetable

Retreat classes run from Monday the 30th June to Friday 4th July from 9:30am - 4pm (ish). The finishing time each day is flexible and we may decide to go and have a sunset play on a headland somewhere... We also have only one drumming session on Wednesday so that folks can go whale watching or exploring.

This retreat is about YOU! If you want to give yourself some time out and lie in the grass and listen to us drum, or have a morning off, or go and have a snooze, feel free to do just that.
