The world is crazy. You can be sane.
Welcome to The Unspeakeasy, the ever-evolving creation of writer, podcaster, and teacher Meghan Daum. Originally a space where freethinking (or “politically homeless”) women could engage in honest conversation without fear of social exile, it’s now that and much more. We offer online events, meetups, and curated private retreats (aka “sanity spas”) for women and coed groups alike. Our core mission is to bring people together in real life to engage in real conversation—the kind that can’t happen online.

“The retreat was bliss. It was the bliss of diving into deep talks with a group of women that were curious and articulate and open to the complexity of the world. I want more of this in my life.”
