Am I "Unstoppable"?

Step into A Sacred Circle

For each gathering, guests are carefully curated from a diverse group of talented, kind and inspirational people from different backgrounds. Among them are celebrated authors, brilliant interior designers, nutritionists and powerful healers, talented artists, brave journalists, tech executives, mothers dedicated to community building and family, physical therapists, busy bankers, singers, filmmakers, and corporate consultants. Beyond their professional and family roles, and most importantly, these are men and women who seek to create lasting bonds with like-spirited souls in beautiful safe spaces where their stories are shared and received with love and compassion. They return home with a renewed sense of self, an awareness of their strength and beauty, and a deep affinity to their sacred circle.

Yes, you are uniquely unstoppable.

  • A woman with long black hair, wearing a floral-patterned shawl and gold hoop earrings, sitting in a garden with brick and greenery in the background.

    "During the retreat, I connected with my body and emotions in ways I hadn’t before. For me, sisterhood means lifting each other up with love, without competition or negativity. My heart is full of love and appreciation for you and this retreat."

    Maham

  • "During the retreat, I didn't need to withdraw to recharge like I normally would as an introvert. I felt energized by the others. What made this retreat special was the invitation to show up fully and let our differences be a point of connection."

    Arjanna

  • Woman sitting by a window, holding a white cup and wearing an orange embroidered jacket with curly hair.

    “This retreat truly underscored the importance of humility and the profound lessons we can learn from every woman we meet. I left with my heart full, refreshed, and deeply grateful for the connections, the beauty, and the safe space you created.”

    Nirvana

  • Woman with long hair and henna designs on her hands, wearing an orange dress with colorful borders, in front of large green leaves.

    "Every moment of this retreat was like a balm for the soul, infused with deep care, grace, and beauty. You made each of us feel so special with your thoughtfulness and generosity. I felt truly taken care of beyond anything I expected, and I returned home replenished, smiling, and grateful."

    Wajida

  • Person standing with arms outstretched and eyes closed, surrounded by hanging willow branches, wearing a checkered shirt and patterned shawl.

    "Being surrounded by strong women from various walks of life, all interacting with such gentleness and kindness, left a lasting impression on me. It gave me hope and helped me connect more deeply with myself as a woman. This retreat was a truly empowering experience."

    Maham

  • Two women in white clothing holding plates of vegetarian food, including cooked orange vegetables and green beans with flowers on top, standing outdoors.

    “You created a safe vessel for us, where I could step outside of my everyday roles and reconnect with parts of myself I hadn’t had time to ‘be’ with in years. I came back with so much more perspective on all parts of me—and how I need to care for them moving forward.”

    Nirvana

  • Smiling person outdoors wearing an orange outfit and gold earrings, with green foliage and pink flowers in the background.

    "You have an incredible talent for creating experiences that feel both intentional and effortless. The balance of activity and relaxation was perfect, and the thoughtfulness in every detail was deeply felt. The most impactful part for me was visiting the saints—it gave me spiritual grounding that has stayed with me months later. This retreat was truly nourishing, in every possible way."

    Wajida

  • A woman in a traditional embroidered top preparing pomegranates outdoors by a brick oven, with a bowl of pomegranate seeds on the table.

    Seeing hidden corners of Marrakesh and witnessing the beauty and grace of Moroccan culture through Sarah’s eyes was one of the ways this retreat was so impactful.

Coming Soon

Eunoia is Greek for "beautiful thinking”, capturing the essence of harmony and synergy while invoking a sense of empowerment and unity.

The Unconventional Retreat

How is EUnoia Different?

Eunoia fosters synergy by bringing people together in a space of open dialogue, mutual support, and meaningful exchange. Within a beautiful setting, participants engage in discussions on femininity and empowerment, embracing differences and tensions as part of the human experience. By carving out space for raw honesty and real connection, we create a trusting environment where individuals can be fully authentic. With a loose framework, each attendee leads a 30-minute session on a topic, activity, or experience of their choice, ensuring every voice is valued.

We Engage Equally

Eunoia Chapters upholds a strict no-alcohol policy and a strongly encouraged elegant dress guideline. We cultivate a space where elevated thought flourishes, aligning mind, body, and spirit in harmony. On Eunoia retreats, we abstain from alcohol, dress with intention, and present ourselves with internal grace, complementing our surroundings. Without the crutch of a drink, we embrace the deeper work of opening up, fostering connection, and discovering more meaningful ways to relax and unwind. What does "dress elegantly" mean? It means wearing whatever makes you feel beautiful, confident, and deeply connected to yourself.

We’re Dry & Elegant

These retreats are the creation of a travel alchemist with 15 years of experience designing immersive journeys across the globe. Far from a typical stay-put retreat, they blend adventure, connection, and rejuvenation in the most captivating settings. Mornings are for exploring, afternoons invite you to unwind by the pool, and sunsets spark deep, unfiltered conversations. As night falls, the energy shifts—barefoot dance parties under the stars, laughter echoing into the night, and the kind of magic that lingers long after the retreat ends. Eunoia is for the curious and the soulful.

Anonymous Voluntary Sponsorship
