Itinerary:
Introductions as we roll in, following the first night's dinner served as acquaintances are made. Each artist introduces themselves and the opening ceremony begins around the fire pit alongside official onboarding rituals and jams.
Morning meditations and stretches to start, with Workshops and Lightning Talks littered throughout the day while a rotating roster of jams kept alive between activities. 2nd organic home-cooked meal served and recording sessions are known to commence.
Jams often continue with vigour while activities on the 3rd day gear towards listening and sharing insights as the connections grow stronger. A hearty BBQ is served at lunch to replenish the vitals with the final dinner served right before jams that go into the AM.
Rising up slowly as we pack and absorb the weekend's magic. After morning meditations and stretches, we officially end the long weekend with a closing ceremony back at the fire pit and return to our lives with a new lease of inspiration.

Essential jam sessions, studio time, sampling, workshops and lightning talks. We’d love for you to depart with tangible assets to use in your artistic pursuits! But if the evolution of Beat Retreat has taught us anything, it’s that the greatest gift we receive from the weekend, is the collective presence of all attendees, organically crafting the experience together.
Mt Wolvi, QLD Australia
The Magical Mountain
After great floods, the mountain is first to emerge; the first to see light. Mountains are symbols for attainment and oneness. Peaks all around the world have been worshiped as divine pathways. Euterpe, muse of music in ancient Greece gathered with her siblings on Mount Parnassus, a place of scenic countryside views where artists and poets would gather for inspiration.

“The people who can keep it alive are artists of one kind or another. The function of the artist is the mythologization of the environment and the world.”
Joseph Campbel – “Myth must be kept alive”
4 YEARS RUNNING
For and Because of You
Key to supporting your growth as an artist is re-introduction to the basic principles of creativity operating throughout the universe. That is: emptiness and openness is the fertile ground from which all positive notions ascend.
Beat Retreat is our attempt at facilitating space for artists to cultivate such experiences. So that we may re-energise our vigour for the creative act.
We acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi people as the traditional custodians of the land Beat Retreat IV is held on known as Gympie, and we pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging.
