BYRON BAY 2025
DIABETES RETREAT
24th - 27th August 2025
Join Drew Harrisberg for a Life-Changing Diabetes Retreat in Byron Bay
I’m beyond excited to host my very first diabetes retreat!
Living with diabetes can often feel isolating—like you’re speaking a different language that no one else understands. But it doesn’t have to feel that way. This retreat is a space where you’ll be surrounded by people from all walks of life who get it—people who speak the same language, who understand the highs, the lows, and everything in between. By the end, you won’t just have met new people—you’ll have found your tribe. A community that feels more like family.
Over three incredible nights, we’ll live together in a stunning sanctuary nestled in nature. We’ll share nourishing wholefood meals, sweat it out in group workouts, and support each other through challenges that push us beyond what we thought was possible. Together, we’ll create real connections—bonds that go far deeper than just a shared condition. This will be a life-changing experience.
Together, we’ll laugh, cry, move, reflect, and grow — creating deep bonds and lifelong memories.
You’ll leave feeling empowered, inspired, and armed with practical tools to make meaningful, lasting changes. Changes that will help you better manage your diabetes, and improve your overall health and longevity.
Byron Bay, 2025. I can’t wait to see you there!

FAQs
Is this retreat for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
Both—and more. Whether you’re living with type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, LADA, MODY, or any other form along the spectrum, this retreat is for you. With that said, it is most likely that the type 1 community will be the biggest segment of this retreat.
What if I don’t have diabetes? Can I still attend?
Absolutely. This retreat is for anyone who has a connection to diabetes—whether you live with it yourself or love someone who does. Parents, children, friends, partners, and caregivers are all welcome. No matter your connection, you belong here.
Can I come on my own?
Yes! Many people attend solo, and it’s a great way to connect, grow, and maybe even make a lifelong friend.
Can I share a room with a friend?
Definitely. Just select the double occupancy/twin-share option when booking and let us know your roommate’s name.
Can I be paired with a roommate if I’m coming alone?
Yes. If you’d like to share a room and are happy to be matched with another solo guest please let us know in the order notes section at checkout or email us at admin@adrewsdailydose.com
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. All meals are plant-based by default and we can cater for your needs. If you have other specific dietary requirements you can fill out the dietary section in the forms you receive once your booking is confirmed.
Do I have to eat only plant-based meals all week?
Not at all. While our retreat menu is fully plant-based, you will have the option, if you choose, to add non-plant-based proteins to your plate. We encourage you to explore plant-based eating during the retreat, but it’s your choice—and there’s no judgment either way.
What level of fitness do I need?
All fitness levels are welcome. Every workout is scalable—from beginner to advanced. This retreat is about feeling challenged, supported, and empowered in a judgment-free zone.
What should I pack?
A full packing list will be sent to you after booking, but think comfortable activewear, swimwear, casual clothes, and anything you need to feel at home for the retreat.
Do I have to attend every activity or workout?
Not at all. While we encourage full participation to get the most out of the experience, this is your retreat. You’re free to curate your own journey. That said, the sessions build on each other, and the community time is pretty special—so we hope you’ll join us as much as you can!
What if I have an injury?
We’ve got you. All workouts can be modified to suit your needs, and we’ll make sure you move in a way that feels safe and supportive.
Is the ice bath compulsory?
No, but it is highly recommended. If you’re new to cold plunging, we’ll guide you through it slowly in a safe and supportive environment. Many guests say it’s a highlight of the week!
Can I leave the retreat venue?
Yes. You’re free to explore the surrounding area during your downtime. Byron Bay’s beaches, cafes, and local gems are just a short drive away. Just note that any off-site activities or expenses will be your responsibility.
How many people will be on the retreat?
We’re keeping the group small—up to 16 guests plus the Drew’s Daily Dose team. This allows for a more intimate, personalised, and connected experience.
What’s the age and fitness range of the group?
Our guests span all ages—from kids and teens to older adults. Diabetes doesn’t discriminate, and neither do we. All genders, fitness levels, and body types are welcome. We’re an inclusive community committed to helping everyone feel seen, supported, and empowered to take charge of their health.
What facilities are in the rooms?
Each room is a little different. Check the room descriptions on the booking page for details about what’s included.
Is there a laundry service?
Yes. There is a washing machine and dryer available for you to use during your stay, so you can pack light and freshen up your clothes as needed.
What’s your cancellation policy?
You can view our full Refund and Cancellation Policy below.
