Mondrian Gold Coast
Between us
On paper, you’ve got it sorted.
But let’s be real about your energy and emotion. Your clients get your sharpest mind. Your family gets your warmest patience. Your inbox gets your immediate focus. You get leftovers at 9:15 PM on the couch staring at your phone, too fried to actually enjoy what you’re building. If you want a different chapter, you’ve got to write it.
RARA is two days (plus a little party on monday night before it all kicks off) on the Gold Coast to drop the load, step off autopilot, and set your own terms.
Who this is for
You don't need another plan.
Too much information is why you're stuck.
You’ve got enough saved Instagram posts, untouched Notion dashboards, and half-finished Google Docs clogging your desktop. More ideas just delay deciding.
You need a circuit breaker. Two days outside your routine with space to hear yourself think and momentum to act.
You need women in the room who push you to claim what you want, instead of making the safe option sound like a victory.
Featured speakers · Round one
The room is led by women
who changed direction before they had a guarantee.
No PowerPoint decks or polished corporate stories. Just intimate conversations about the money, the doubt, the identity shifts, and the private decisions behind the work.
What your ticket includes
Three parts.
One clear outcome.
Your ticket covers the Aperitivo, our Monday night welcome reception, and two full summit days at the Mondrian Gold Coast. You arrive, kick things off with a bang, skip the polite small talk, and leave with one major decision locked in.
The Room Opens
We're skipping the awkward icebreakers and starting with a bang. Expect high energy, great drinks, zero small talk, and a couple of cheeky surprises up our sleeve. Walk into Tuesday already knowing your people.
Honest Strategy & Keynotes
Intimate keynote conversations, honest panels, and dedicated space to finally name the move you've been circling. (Side note: if this keynote lineup doesn't light a fire under you, check your pulse.)
Execution & Direction
Decision day. We give your ideas room to breathe so you can leave clearer on the next move you want to make.
The woman behind RARA.
Burleigh Beach.
A world away.
The room matters. The light matters. Mondrian is the kind of place where people stay at the table a little longer.
The Place
A hotel on the water, because where you say something changes whether you say it at all.
The People
Speakers close enough to ask. Women beside you who understand the question.
The Pace
Good food, long lunches and enough time for the conversation to keep going.
actually ask me.
That is usually the point. You might only know that something is not fitting anymore: the way you work, the role you are in, the pace of your life, the business model, the clients, the way your own plans keep coming last. RARA gives you two days to get the question out of your head and into language you can work with.
You do not need to arrive with a pitch, a polished story or a perfect answer. Bring the decision you keep circling. Bring the thing you are sick of discussing only in your notes app, with your partner, or on walks where nobody can hear you.
Yes, if you are at a decision point. You might be leading a team, wanting more creative work, considering a move, returning after children, or realising the role that looks good on paper is taking too much from the life around it. RARA is not only for founders. It is for women who need to make a clearer decision about the next version of their work and life.
It is. It means childcare, work cover, travel, a bag packed properly and deciding that your own thinking deserves a place on the calendar.
But staying available has a cost too. Another term, quarter or year can disappear while you keep everything moving and never make the decision. RARA gives you the interruption: two days away from the usual demands, with structured conversations, hosted meals and the room to get clear on what you want to do next.
Most women will arrive without a built-in group. Monday night is the Aperitivo, so you are not walking cold into the first summit day. The room is designed for direct conversation, shared tables and proper introductions, not standing around waiting to be chosen.
worth asking.
Dates, inclusions, accommodation and the practical things you need before you book.
When and where is RARA Summit?
RARA Summit 2027 takes place at Mondrian Gold Coast from 22 to 24 February 2027. The Aperitivo is on Monday 22 February, followed by two full summit days on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 February.
Where do I stay, and what does it cost?
Most women will stay at Mondrian Gold Coast, in the same building as the summit. We have secured 20% off room rates for RARA guests across the summit dates.
Book your room here and enter the code BGPG under “preferential code” to apply the discount.
Accommodation is booked separately and is not included in your ticket. Most women will arrive Monday afternoon and leave Thursday morning. You can also stay elsewhere if that suits your budget or plans. Gold Coast Airport is about twenty minutes from Burleigh.
What is RARA Summit?
RARA is a two-day summit for women who are keeping a lot of life moving, while sitting on a decision about what comes next.
Across the summit you will hear main-stage conversations, sit inside direct discussions, attend workshops, share hosted meals, take part in the Offline Hour and leave clearer on the decision you came to make.
Who is it for?
It is for the woman who can keep the business, job, family, clients, team and calendar moving, but has been pushing her own decision to later.
You might run a business, work inside a company, lead a team, have a creative practice, be rebuilding after children, or be circling a new direction. The common thread is not your industry. It is the decision in front of you: what needs to change in the next season of your work, identity, creativity or ambition?
Who is it not for?
RARA is for women who are ready to participate in the room, not sit back and consume more information.
If you are looking for a business conference, a content formula, a funnel template, a passive retreat or a weekend of vague inspiration, this will not be the right fit. The room works because women arrive willing to think honestly, speak directly and do something with what becomes clear.
What do I actually get from attending?
You get two days away from the usual demands, a room of women who are also at decision points, main-stage conversations, workshops, hosted meals, direct discussion and a structured way to turn the thing you have been circling into a decision.
The practical outcome is simple: you leave with the decision you came to make, language to explain it, and a plan for what happens next when real life starts again.
What is included with my ticket?
Your ticket covers the Aperitivo, our two hour welcome reception on the Monday night, then both full summit days on Tuesday and Wednesday. Morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and barista coffee are hosted across both days.
You also choose up to two workshops. These run at the same time as the main stage, so you are choosing between a workshop and a speaker rather than adding one on top. The Offline Hour and the closing session are in the programme for everyone.
Travel and accommodation are separate.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Early Bird is A$330 at checkout, then four monthly payments of A$330. The Salon Experience is A$650 at checkout, then three monthly payments of A$650.
Payments are charged automatically to the same card on the same date each month from the day you book. Group of Four is pay in full.
What if I can’t come?
Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable. Up to 14 days before the summit, you can pass your ticket to another woman at no charge. Send us her name and email and we will update the booking.
If you would rather we found someone from the waitlist to take your place, we can do that for you for a $100 rebooking fee.
What is the dress code?
Wear the thing that makes you feel like you have somewhere to be.
Practically, the summit rooms can run cold and the Gold Coast in February will be hot, so bring a layer you actually like. Welcome drinks are by the pool. Full dress notes will arrive before you pack.
Can I bring my child?
RARA is a kid-free summit. Part of what makes the room work is that, for two days, nobody in it needs anything from you.
The exception is nursing babies under six months, who are welcome anywhere their mother is. If that is you, reply to your confirmation email and we will help with what you need, including a quiet place to feed, a seat near the door and a fridge.
The Offline Hour is a silent hour. Babies are the one sound we do not mind.
Will sessions be recorded?
No. RARA is designed to be experienced in the room. The best conversations happen when people are not performing for a replay.
The Aperitivo on Monday night, followed by two days at Mondrian.
Early bird tickets are on sale now. The price rises on 1 October.
