The EmpowerHer Revive & Thrive Retreat is more than just a weekend getaway—it’s a sacred space for women to pause, reset, and reconnect with themselves and each other. Created by visionary and women’s empowerment advocate Sanina Moreland, this transformative retreat blends workshops, wellness experiences, and powerful sisterhood to help women reignite their power, reclaim their purpose, and restore their peace.
When Sanina Moreland envisioned EmpowerHer, she wasn’t just curating an event—she was responding to her own soul’s cry for renewal. “I needed a retreat, so I created one,” she shares. “A few years ago, I found myself longing for something that would pour into me. But everything I found was far away, costly, and time-consuming. So I wrote down my dream retreat, and after sitting on it for two years, I finally said, ‘It’s time.’”
The theme—Revive & Thrive—came to Sanina organically. “We all need moments to pause and be poured into,” she explains. “The name truly reflects what I want women to gain—power, purpose, and peace.”
For Sanina, the goal was never just relaxation. “I want this retreat to feel like a reset,” she says. “Life moves so fast—work, family, responsibilities. It’s easy to forget ourselves. This is about laughter, connection, and care. It’s not just rest—it’s revival.”
She hopes attendees walk away with more than memories. “Real friendships, clarity, new tools to support their growth—emotionally, spiritually, even in business or health. I want women to leave feeling lighter, focused, and whole.”
What sets this retreat apart is its accessibility. “We’re local to the Atlanta area, so women can drive in if they need to—no flights or hotel stays unless they choose that. It keeps things simple and inclusive,” Sanina says.
Attendees can expect an immersive experience. From a lively meet & greet to a full conference day with sessions covering business, spirituality, motivation, and wellness, it’s a weekend designed to engage the whole woman. One highlight Sanina’s especially excited for? “Pilates, Prayer & Picnic in the Park. It’s such a beautiful fusion of movement, mindfulness, and connection. I can’t wait.”
For Sanina, success isn’t measured in numbers alone. “It’s layered. It’s seeing women open up and feel safe. It’s witnessing transformation—when someone walks away more aligned, more grounded, and ready to take action in their lives. That’s the magic.”
EmpowerHer is quickly growing beyond a weekend retreat. “I see this becoming a movement. I want to take it on the road, bring deeper workshops, invite more dynamic coaches, and eventually create wellness getaways, business incubators, and mentorship programs. This is a legacy of pouring into women so they can pour into others.”
Speakers and vendors are a key part of the experience. “They help bring the energy, the knowledge, the atmosphere. Everyone plays a role in making this special.”
And to every woman who feels overwhelmed or unseen, Sanina has a message: “I created this because I’ve lived that life—feeling empty, burnt out, invisible. This retreat is a sacred space to reset, reflect, and rise. Whether you’re a mother, a leader, a dreamer, or just figuring it all out—you deserve this. And to our community—your support makes the difference. Sponsors, vendors, word-of-mouth—it all helps fuel the transformation. Let’s build something beautiful together.”
Sanina’s final word? “Get your ticket today! And if you can’t attend, consider sponsoring or vending. There’s still space—and we’d love to have you be part of this journey.”
