Personal

A weekend to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with joy.

Mark your calendar for October 9–11, 2026, when the ViveX Women’s Weekender returns to the beautiful Madden’s Resort in Brainerd, MN.

Each year, ViveX offers a space for women to pause, reconnect, and rediscover what it means to live with joy, purpose, and possibility. 2026 will be no exception—a weekend filled with laughter, reflection, and community that helps you refill what life often pours out.

This isn’t just a getaway—it’s a get-free. So, come as you are, leave renewed, and get ready to thrive in the life you already live.

Event Details

Date: October 9 – 11, 2026

Location: Madden’s Resort on Gull, Brainerd, MN
(Please book your room directly with Madden’s as your stay separate from the ViveX registration: 1-800-642-5363.)

 

The Vive eXperience is more than a weekend retreat—it’s a bold, real, joy-soaked homecoming to yourself. Through connection, movement, vulnerability, and fun, you’ll discover new clarity, be deeply seen, and feel wildly supported.

You’ll leave with tools in your hand, laughter in your belly, tears on your cheek, new friendships in your phone, and a fierce belief in your own wholeness and wisdom.

    The Vibe: Connection over perfection. Depth meets fun. Reflection, rest, and rising — together.

    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–reflection, meditation, and intentional light movement–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.
