Our Journey
From Book Club to Transformative Luxury Retreats
The Connected Collective began with a simple vision: to create a space where women could connect deeply and genuinely. As an expat in Dubai, I noticed the challenge of finding meaningful connections amidst the fast-paced digital world. What started as a self-help book club quickly evolved into something much bigger. Our retreats and events now offer a luxurious escape from the everyday hustle, where you can reconnect with yourself, unwind in stunning locations, and gain practical tools for navigating modern life. My passion lies in creating authentic experiences that foster personal growth and resilience. Join us on this journey to empower your mind, nurture your soul, and open your heart.

Get to Know Us Beyond the Retreats
"A vacation will not solve burnout when you return to things in the same way you left them. Your systems, boundaries, and values are what reduce burnout."
The Essence of True Renewal...
At The Connected Collective, we believe that true renewal goes beyond a temporary escape. As this quote reminds us, relaxation alone isn’t enough to address burnout; it’s about reshaping how we approach our lives. Our retreats are designed not just for unwinding in beautiful locations but for empowering you with the tools and insights to transform your daily life. Through workshops and holistic practices, you’ll gain valuable knowledge to create systems and boundaries that support lasting well-being. Join us to explore, learn, and emerge with renewed resilience and clarity.
