Joy 101 Events
Two Retreats. Both Sold Out.
Our Spring and Fall retreats filled quickly, and for good reason. Hoda shaped every detail of the weekend around joy, and guests left feeling it. Next, we’re bringing that feeling to New Orleans.
Introducing JoyFest
Two thousand people, one electric city, and a festival that turns joy up to full volume. Every moment pulses with music, movement, art, flavor, and community. At its heart, a megawatt lineup lead conversations that will transform lives in real time.
Hoda, All Day
She’s hosting from the first hello to the last song, and she’ll be out in the crowd in between.
Her Guest List
Hoda picked every name on the lineup. Expect real conversations, with the people who have changed Hoda's life.
Joy, Full Volume
Part festival, part choose-your-own-adventure. Follow the music and see where you end up.
Come Solo or Bring a Crew
Either way, you’ll leave with more people than you came with.
