Our venue is the beautiful Soul farm Mas els Igols:

Lucinda has been a Clinical Psychologist and mindfulness practitioner for almost 20 years.
At work she specialises in and has lived experience of trauma, bereavement and neurodiversity. She is trained in many different therapies as well as being a qualified meditation guide and author. Lucinda loves nothing more than introducing people of all ages to the world of mindfulness and meditation and supporting people as they heal, grow and find their true place and purpose in life.
She composes and delivers bespoke meditations by combining her expertise in psychological understanding with her love of writing scripts that heal and inspire. She lives in Hampshire UK with her son and an ever growing menagerie of pets and plants. She loves being in nature, studying history, fairytales and ancient scriptures and collecting sea glass and antiques. She also loves to sing with great enthusiasm (but very little skill!).

Ciara has been playing drums for 26 years and teaching for over two decades. Over the years, she’s played in a variety of bands, toured different parts of the world, and always enjoyed creating drum parts and being on stage. Alongside performing, she’s always taught — something that’s remained a constant and a real source of joy.
After turning 40, Ciara started running drum camps for women, hoping to create a space where others could grow in confidence behind the kit. What began as an experiment quickly grew into something much bigger, with sold-out camps and a strong community of supportive, inspiring women. Ciara continues to teach regularly, she co-hosts the podcast Drummer Mamas, and in 2024 published her first book Odd Times Made Easy. She’s also a proud mum of two daughters.
More than anything, she loves helping women discover what they’re capable of — not just in drumming, but in themselves.

Sharing the same birthday, Ciara and Lucinda have enjoyed a wonderful friendship for many years. Having successfully run drum camps throughout the UK, one day Ciara shared her vision of extending the current drum camp portfolio to include a retreat style experience with opportunities for existential exploration in a safe, welcoming, encouraging and compassionate environment. She had witnessed time and time again that drum camp offers so much more than the opportunity to practice and develop a beloved skill. That many women have an emotional and soulful reaction to what they create on the drums. It had become clear that drumming had the power to unlock transformation on a much deeper level that can develop confidence, self-esteem and enhance general wellbeing and personal growth. And so after many months of dreaming, planning and being brave The Drum Retreat was born!

We are delighted and full of passion and enthusiasm for this next great adventure…if you would like to know more or come a join us on one of our future retreats then we would love to hear from you!
