What is The Hope Experience?
Retreats + Workshops + Strength + Hope
We bring women together in beautiful settings to connect with themselves, each other, and nature through Fitness, yoga, meditation, life workshops, and more.
Our retreats allow you to slow down and take inventory of your head and your heart.
We want you to find your true passion and then achieve it!
Welcome to The HOPE Experience!
Be exactly who you want to be.
Do exactly what you want to do.
Take the time to care for yourself so
you can be there for others.
The HOPE Experience is meant to inspire, nurture, and encourage all women. Our retreats are designed to help you discover your true purpose. Anything that is weighing you down needs to go and we’ll help you shed bad habits, negative energy, and self-doubt. Life is short, so join us.

The mission here is to create a space that resonates with all the phenomenal women out there. In this safe haven, we’ll have real, honest conversations that explore the depths of our struggles and celebrate remarkable triumphs. We will delve into the journey of self discovery, self-love, and self-care.
Feedback From Our Guests
“The workshops and retreats I’ve attended as part of The Hope Experience have been nothing short of amazing. Each one has been unique and has given me the opportunity to reset and refresh both my body and my mind. The community I’ve been introduced to as a result of attending these events is amazing and supportive. I’m looking forward to the next event!”
“Attending wellness retreats hosted by The HOPE Experience has literally been life changing!! Julie and Melissa (The HALE Life) have created a safe place for wellness and connections. I’ve gained support, guidance and friendships from empowering and inspirational women from all paths of life. As a result, I’ve been able to grow mentally, physically and spiritually. I strongly recommend that you check out their schedule and attend a retreat.
As a reminder, self care is not selfish! You can’t pour from an empty cup. Fill your cup so that you can take care of yourself and your loved ones.”
“I’ve always associated a soul search, cleanse, wellness or mindfulness retreat with the words “expensive, time consuming and way too complicated to arrange” - I’m a busy working mother of two, wife of 14 years and I felt like I needed some re-centering and perspective. How wrong I was In my assumptions. The HOPE and HALE experience offers world class retreats close to home, which are affordable and expertly planned. Julie, Melissa and the team know how to curate a personalized experience and create safe space to do hard work at your own pace. I am truly enriched from this experience and would enthusiastically recommend this to anyone. I’m happy to discuss my experience with any potential retreaters and feel unbelievably grateful to have made my way into this powerful community of inspired souls. Find a retreat that works for your schedule and jump in. You won’t look back, I promise.”
