In 2016, Jules Schroeder woke from a vivid dream with one word on her lips: “Bali.” With no plan and no roadmap, she trusted the vision, and within two months, the first Unconventional Life event was sold out.
What began as a bold leap of faith has since grown into a global movement. From the beaches of Bali to the rainforests of Madagascar and beyond, our events have brought together entrepreneurs, creatives, and thought leaders in some of the world’s most breathtaking locations.
Led by Jules—a master facilitator, 2x TEDx speaker, and host of the top-ranked Unconventional Life podcast—this community thrives on transformation, connection, and the audacity to live life on your own terms.
We consistently attract industry leaders who trust us to bring together groups of fellow, high-caliber trailblazers. We personally speak to each attendee to ensure that each participant is a match for the container, and only extend invites when there is a 10/10 mutual alignment. Every attendee arrives ready to catapult their success in every life area.
We believe that event facilitation is an art that requires intuition, execution, and masterful energetic holding of the container. We meticulously craft every detail—including the land, the food, the guest list, and the facilitation team. That's why we're known for creating the space for rapid results and quantum breakthroughs.
Our genius is getting strangers to cut through the small talk and develop meaningful connections in short periods of time. As soon as you arrive, you’ll receive a connection card with 3 names of people we believe hold a key to your success. We'll personalize your experience so you meet people who will move the needle for you in your life and business.
At every event venue, we partner with locals to create authentic cultural experiences. From collaborating with artisans on fair trade event swag to hiring local talent, we’re committed to celebrating and honoring the communities we visit. By supporting the local economy, we foster meaningful connections and leave a positive impact wherever we go.

"This is the definition of a world-class experience. I’ve attended many retreats and traveled the globe, but nothing compares to Unconventional Life. The organization, the caliber of participants, the transformational experiences, and the stunning venues are all unmatched. It’s truly life-changing—not just for me, but for everyone who attends. If you’re seeking deeper meaning, purpose, and impact, this is a must-do. I’ll be coming back every year."
"To live an Unconventional Life is to be bold—bold enough to let go of stories that no longer serve you, to trust yourself, and to invest in the people, work, and experiences that truly align with your values. It’s about self-love, self-truth, and living life on your terms with kindness and care for yourself and others."
"An Unconventional Life is defined by choice—choosing every part of who you are and the life you live. It’s about creating yourself, not being confined by circumstances, expectations, or past experiences. When every piece of your life is intentionally chosen, it becomes extraordinary. That’s what makes it truly unconventional."
"Living an Unconventional Life means having the freedom to pursue your passions and turn your ideas into reality. It’s about designing a wildly successful life on your own terms, doing what you want, when you want. It’s empowering and deeply fulfilling."
"To live an Unconventional Life is to challenge the status quo, break outdated rules, and innovate. It’s about shattering paradigms and creating new possibilities for yourself and others. Living this way has transformed my life, and I’ve seen it do the same for countless others. It’s not just necessary—it’s essential."
