The Vive eXperience was created from a simple idea: What if we gave women the time, space, and a little fuel to connect more deeply—not only with new women, but with the friends we already love?
Too often, we get together and catch up on work, kids, schedules and everything happening around us. ViveX creates space to get beyond the catch-up. To have the conversations we don’t always make time for. To learn something that makes us think differently, ask better questions of each other, laugh until it hurts and remember just how much we gain when women really connect.
That’s what ViveX has always been about: Connection. Learning. Fun.
And this year, we’re bringing all three together around one powerful word: BELIEVE.
What we believe about ourselves matters. Some beliefs give us courage, confidence and possibility. Others—the old stories, labels and expectations we’ve picked up along the way—can quietly hold us back without us even realizing it.
Throughout the weekend, we’ll explore both. We’ll challenge some of the things we’ve come to believe, reconnect with what’s actually true about who we are, trust ourselves a little more and make space for what’s possible next. And because this is ViveX, we’ll do it through honest conversations, incredible women, meaningful learning, creativity, movement, great food, laughter and plenty of fun.
You’ll leave with new ideas to carry forward, conversations you’ll keep thinking about, new friendships alongside deeper old ones, plenty of laughter—and maybe a stronger belief in the woman you already are.
Because sometimes we don’t need to become someone new. We just need the right women, the right conversation and the space to believe in what’s already inside us.
The Invite: Women who are ready to step out of survival mode and into wholeness. Whether you’re arriving solo or bringing your tribe to deepen friendships, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are. You belong here.
What to Expect
FRIDAY: ARRIVE + AWAKEN
Ease into the weekend at your own pace.
As everyone arrives, we’ll keep the vibe soft and unhurried. Whether you’re drawn to the bonfire for conversation, want to settle into a cozy corner indoors, or simply float between connections, this is your time to land in presence and possibility.
Enjoy a specialty cocktail, light food, and an evening designed to help you unwind and connect.
SATURDAY: EXPLORE + EXPAND
A full day to nourish every part of you.
We’ll start with a hot breakfast and then ease into a day filled with dynamic, expert-led sessions.
Expect powerful insights, meaningful conversations, curated vendors, guided practices, and a Generosity Project that extends our impact.
You’ll be moved—literally and emotionally.
As the sun sets, we’ll gather to dine, connect, and celebrate. The evening is all about joy and play—because living our joy-filled lives isn’t only about reflection, it’s also about letting loose.
SUNDAY: EMBODY + EMERGE
We’ll close with soul-soothing integration. We’ll make time to reflect and have some light morning movement (think easy yoga + stretching) to button you up to weave the weekend into your daily life.
This is for you, my friend.
The Invite: Women who are ready to step out of survival mode and into wholeness. Whether you’re arriving solo to refresh your THRIVE pillars or bringing your tribe to deepen friendships, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are. You belong here.
