Unconventional Life is a sought-after live experience for entrepreneurs, influencers, professional athletes, creatives and thought leaders from all over the world.

There’s a reason we were rated the #1 event for entrepreneurs by Inc. Magazine— our unique methodology creates a cellular shift that elevates the way you show up in every domain of your life.

It all started when founder Jules Schroeder awoke with the words “Bali” on her tongue. In less than two months, she sold out her first event, and Unconventional Life community was born. Jules is a master event facilitator, real estate investor, serial entrepreneur, and host of the Unconventional Life Show podcast. Our events have made waves all over the world including: Nicaragua, Croatia, Bali, Italy, South Africa, and Fiji.  

here’s how unconventional life
is different from every other event out there

We Curate on the Mutual F*** YEAH

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: relationships, health, business/money, and connection to passion and purpose.

We Value Energetic Integrity

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.

We Believe Event Facilitation Is An Art Form

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.

We Prioritize Local Communities

At every venue we hold events – from Bali, Nicaragua, Italy, Croatia, Fiji, to South Africa – we incorporate local culture into the experience. We don’t stay at chain hotels and support local artisans in the fair trade manufacturing of our event swag.

BRIAN KELLY

Founder & Lead Coach of Breath Masters & Co-Founder, YogiLab
This is the definition of a world class experience. I’ve done a lot of retreats in my life. I’ve been all around the world. I’ve seen pretty much everything. And what I’ve seen here has blown me away on every level, the quality of the organization, the caliber of the people that are here, the quality of the experiences, and the quality of the venue. Literally, I’ve been looking for things to be able to give constructive feedback on, but I haven’t been able to find anything. It’s been literally that good. If someone says life changing experience, usually they’re blowing smoke, but this has literally been a massive, life changing experience, not only for me but for everybody here. I will come back and literally do this year after year after year. For anybody who’s looking for more meaning, more purpose, more impact, and more aliveness in their life, Unconventional Life has been doing this everywhere in the world. Whenever these guys have a retreat going, it would be an absolute must do for anybody that’s out there that’s looking for more. Unconventional Life, well done. Looking forward to the next one!

GARY GOLDSTEIN

Author, speaker, consultant & Hollywood film producer
Unconventional life is being bold enough to lay down the stories that don’t serve you, not worrying about other people’s expectations or judgments, being kind and caring toward yourself. So you can be kind and caring toward others. Trust that you know what’s best for you. And the difference between what belongs to you and what doesn’t is self love. Because the absence of that diminishes and keeps so much humanity in check. Know your truth and live life on your own terms. And invest heavily, like really heavily in your friends and your relationships in the work that feels deeply aligned and significant in your health and well-being.

ALISON ARMSTRONG

Bestselling author, speaker, & founder of PAX Programs
An unconventional life would be a life that doesn’t have the word “because I am this way, because of what happened to me, I was born this way because of a religion would be right” instead of “what I’ve invented myself, I’ve created myself, I have chosen to be this person, I’ve chosen this life.” And it might look conventional to somebody else. But if you chose every part of it, which is actually the definition of exquisite, carefully chosen, it’s the definition mix. You choose every part of your life and it will be exquisite. And that is unconventional. Most people’s lives are a mishmash.

CARRIE GREEN

Founder, The Female Entrepreneur Association
Living an Unconventional Life means being able to do the things I want to do when I want to do them. It means having the freedom to turn my ideas into reality and to live a wildly successful life. It’s awesome.

JOEL BROWN

Founder of #1 motivation website, Addicted2Success.com
Living an unconventional life really means being unreasonable, breaking the rules, because you know, the rules are shithouse. And that for us to move forward as a human race and to innovate and to create new things, we have to shatter old paradigms. I’m huge on this. I like, I live and breathe this, like my life has absolutely changed. And I’ve just seen so many people that break the rules that are now just moving mountains. So living an unconventional life is so damn necessary for each and every individual.
