This Retreat Is For
Some Women. Not All.
This IS for you if…
- ♥ You're a lesbian navigating identity, community, or self-trust — whether that's a recent chapter or one you've been figuring out for a while
- ♥ You want the freedom and joy of being around queer women who just get it, without performing for anyone
- ♥ You're tired of performing even in queer spaces and crave a room where you can finally just be
- ♥ You're ready to laugh, play, and be ridiculous with women who get it on a bone-deep level
- ♥ You're willing to show up imperfect, in-process, and fully yourself
This is NOT for you if…
- × You're in active crisis or need a higher level of clinical support than a retreat can provide
- × You're looking for a space where illegal substances are welcome — this is a drug-free retreat
- × You expect perfection — from yourself, from others, or from the experience
- × You're not willing to be in community — this is a group experience, not a solo retreat
what this actually is
Play. Community.
Being Fully Yourself.
For women who spent decades being everything for everyone, being loud and silly and free is revolutionary. This weekend is about connection, not correction.
100-FOOT WATER SLIDE
Lands in a private lagoon. Screaming optional. Laughing mandatory.
KAYAK LAGOON
1-acre lagoon with a putting green island. Peaceful, stunning, yours.
POOL & HOT TUB
High-end pool on 20 private acres. No neighbors. No performing.
FIREPIT
Where stories get told, things get burned, and the night ends right.
BUNKHOUSE GAMES
Pool table, foosball, dry bar. Game night is inevitable.
20 PRIVATE ACRES
Walking trails, open sky. No one watching. No one performing.
your room. your people.
laugh louder. worry less.
I keep thinking about how this retreat almost feels like going back to college dorms.
Except… I never got that experience.
I was married at 19. I never lived on campus. I never had the weekend where you stay up too late talking, wander into someone else's room, play ridiculous games, eat snacks, watch movies, laugh until your stomach hurts, and just exist around other women.
So maybe that's part of what I'm creating now.
Unmasked isn't a five-star luxury retreat with Michelin-star chefs and an itinerary packed from sunrise to sunset.
It's a lesbian weekend.
Play games.
Sit around the campfire at night.
Swim in the heated pool.
Pile into the media room for a movie.
Drink coffee in the morning with women who understand things you usually have to explain.
Have conversations that start silly and somehow become meaningful.
Go take a nap if you want.
Laugh too loudly.
Be awkward for five minutes and then realize everyone else was nervous too.
And maybe, for one weekend, experience what it feels like to be around women where you don't have to perform, translate yourself, make yourself smaller, or pretend.
Just sixteen women on twenty private acres outside Dallas.
A grown-up lesbian dorm weekend.
Maybe the one some of us never got to have.
real hosts. no masks.

The Schedule
Arrive & Land
You made it. Put it all down.
Check in and get settled. Your welcome bag is waiting, and your Unmasking Meditation lands straight in your inbox. Free time to unpack, breathe, and meet your roommates before everyone gathers for a welcome circle. The group cooks dinner together, then it's straight to the firepit for the first night of real conversation.
The Good Stuff
Real talk, real fire, real friends — no agenda beyond that.
Self-care morning — sleep in, swim, or just have coffee at your own pace. Free afternoon to rest, swim, or take the ~35-minute drive to Oak Lawn for a walk down Cedar Springs and a stop at Sue Ellen's if the group's feeling it. Back at the property: games, laughter, and dinner together. After dark, the fire comes out — burn what you're ready to let go of, then stargaze on open acreage. Think girls' trip energy, not a deep-dive workshop.
Unmasked & Free
You are ready. Go live it.
Slow breakfast. Send-off circle — every woman speaks. Long hugs. Checkout at 10:30am. You leave with your Unmasking Meditation, your community, and the woman you actually are.

questions
Everything You Need to Know
Who is this retreat for?
Lesbians and later-in-life lesbians who want three days of connection, play, and rest with women who get it — no performing required.
Is this a sober / substance-free retreat?
This is a drug-free retreat. Alcohol in moderation is welcome — BYOB. The whole point of this weekend is real connection — being fully present with each other, not hiding, numbing, or checking out. That only works if everyone's actually here for it. If you have a prescription, that's completely fine — just reach out to Annie directly so she has the full picture.
What food is included?
Breakfast supplies are stocked each morning, plus coffee, tea, and snacks throughout. Lunch and dinners are a casual mix of group cooking and delivery — low-pressure, not catered. Want to bring your own snacks, make a store run, order Uber Eats, or head out for a meal? Completely fine — there's no required activities, so you're free to eat and spend your time however works for you.
How does payment work?
Full payment is due at booking. Need to split it into 2 payments? Email annie@anniemhenderson.com to work that out.
How do I get there? What airport should I fly into?
Both nearby airports work well — pick whichever has better flights for you.
DFW — Dallas/Fort Worth
🚗 ~42 miles · about 50 minutes
DAL — Dallas Love Field
🚗 ~25 miles · about 35–40 minutes
Both routes run mostly highway (I-35E south, then a short stretch of local road into Oak Leaf) — drive times are estimates and will vary with Dallas traffic. From the airport, Uber, Lyft, or a rental car all work well — a rental or rideshare also gives you the flexibility to run to the store, head into Dallas, or come and go from the property if you want that during the weekend.
What's the weather like in North Texas in November?
Honestly, it varies a lot. Typical days run highs in the 60s with overnight lows in the 40s — but North Texas in November can also swing warm, with the occasional day pushing into the upper 70s or even 80°F. Evenings around the firepit still get chilly regardless. Best bet: pack layers — a swimsuit, a jacket or sweater for cool nights, and something in between for whatever shows up.
What is the cancellation policy?
This retreat needs a minimum of 9 people registered by October 10, 2026 to happen. If that minimum isn't reached, everyone gets a full refund. After October 10, refunds are no longer available, but spots may be transferred with Annie's approval.
