ANAKHYA Live in Concert
ANAKHYA joins Rendezvous for the first time to delight us on the Friday evening. This unique five piece group have created a transformational musical experience by combining ancient and modern methods for healing the body and mind through sound.
Listening and tuning to specific musical frequencies, and using the voice by toning can initiate healing on a cellular level. There are recent studies
showing the healing benefits of movement, dancing, low sub harmonic sound and brain wave entrainment.
When the breath, heart, body and mind come into coherence, natural states of healing begin to radiate through the body to liberate our energy.

Poetry for Liberation ~ Ellen Patterson
Expect the unexpected as exotic tales from far off places are shared by the fire, around the table, or by the babbling river bed.
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.
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.
Private Treatments
We carefully plan your experience with the perfect blend of rest and play, with six "free time" sessions so you can relax, connect, explore, and soak up the healing beauty of simply spending time in nature. You can also choose to book a private treatment with one of our trained therapists. Please text them directly to book your treatment.
