The retreat officially runs from the evening of April 23 through the afternoon of April 26, 2026.

The next retreat will take place just outside Houston, Texas, tucked into a private waterside estate within 30 minutes of the city.

It’s a space designed for gathering. Wide open, relaxed, and intentionally ours for the weekend. There’s room to spread out, turn Taylor up, linger by the pool, and settle into shared moments without distractions.

We’re close enough for easy travel, with Houston Hobby Airport about half an hour away, and near the coast for anyone who wants to turn the trip into a beach-day adventure before or after the retreat.

Sessions happen all over the world, but wherever we land, the goal stays the same. Long tables, shared spaces, laughter that carries late into the night, and a place that feels welcoming the moment you arrive.

Our events are intentionally designed as safe, celebratory spaces for women to connect through shared experiences of girlhood, creativity, and community. That focus is what makes the energy of these weekends so unique and meaningful.

We are also proud to welcome trans women and non-binary individuals who feel aligned with the spirit of this space. While we’d love to expand access even further in the future, we’re currently a small team with limited resources and are not yet able to accommodate all guests or lodging configurations.

As we grow, so will our ability to offer broader opportunities — always with care, intention, and inclusion at the heart. 💫

Great question! While your ticket covers almost everything once you arrive, here’s what’s not included:

✈️ Travel to and from the retreat location (flights, gas, airport transfers, etc.)

🍸 Extra personal purchases (alcoholic beverages, souvenirs, or any optional off-site activities)

💆‍♀️ Add-ons like spa treatments or one-on-one sessions (if offered)

We’ll always let you know ahead of time if anything optional comes with an extra cost — no surprises here, just glitter and good vibes ✨

The closest airport to our Houston-area retreat is Houston Hobby Airport (HOU) — approximately a 25–30 minute drive from our lodging. It’s typically the most convenient option for arrival and offers frequent domestic flights. George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is also an option, located about 45 minutes away.

Flights and ground transportation are the responsibility of each attendee, but we’re here to make the process feel easy. Once travel plans are booked, we’re happy to connect attendees arriving around similar times so you can coordinate shared rides, rental cars, or airport pickups together.

This location was chosen for its balance of accessibility and atmosphere — close enough to the city for smooth travel, but private enough to give us space to fully settle in together. Set on a waterside estate with open gathering areas and a pool, it gives us room to relax, connect, and enjoy the weekend without distraction. It’s also within reach of the coast for anyone who wants to add a beach adventure to their trip.

Whether you’re arriving solo or meeting up with new friends along the way, we’ll help guide you so you arrive comfortably and ready for the weekend ahead.

We offer three lodging tiers, all designed around shared experience and connection:

• Lover Loft – bed in a shared room with fellow attendees, featuring a mix of bunk beds and queen beds assigned at random
• YOYOK Retreat – private room with a queen bed
• The Daylight Suite– private room with a queen bed and private bath (extremely limited)

✨ All options include the full experience: lodging, meals, themed events, guided activities, and curated swag — the only difference is how you choose to rest and recharge.

We love that you're nearby! That said, we kindly ask that all attendees stay onsite to keep the group connected and fully immersed in the retreat experience.

Many of the best moments happen outside of the scheduled activities — and we want you to be there for all of it.

Because our costs are distributed across meals, supplies, swag, and accommodations, we’re unable to offer a reduced rate for opting out of lodging. Thank you for understanding!

Yes! We offer Pay in 4 at checkout, so you can break your investment into more manageable payments.

As much as we love furry friends, pets aren’t allowed at our retreats.

ADA-recognized service animals may be considered with respect to their necessity. However, we can’t guarantee approval, since the final decision lies with each individual venue owners. With 20+ women sharing a home, allergies are a common factor for both attendees and homeowners, so we have to be mindful of those needs as well.

If you have an accessibility request, please reach out before booking. We’ll always do our best to explore options with care and transparency. 💕

We’ll send out a full packing list before the retreat — including any era-coded outfit inspo, cozy must-haves, and anything you’ll need for activities. Just bring yourself, your sparkle, and a willingness to connect.

This retreat is currently capped at 16 attendees. This creates a welcoming environment where real connections happen, and no one feels lost in the crowd.

This is subject to change based on demand for the event.

We proudly stand for equality, kindness, and human rights — including full support for the LGBTQ+ community and other historically marginalized groups. Our events are rooted in celebration, connection, and mutual respect, and we’re committed to creating spaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and seen.

We uphold a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, discrimination, or bigotry of any kind. If you're joining us, we ask that you lead with empathy, uplift others, and show up with an open heart.This community is built on love, care, and the joy of coming together — and that’s exactly how we intend to keep it. 🌈💖

We’ll be serving a few light, themed drinks throughout the weekend — think fun cocktails or mocktails that fit the vibe — but we do not provide a full bar or cater alcohol services.

You're welcome to BYOB and enjoy your own drinks responsibly, especially during dinners or late-night hangs.

As for smoking, we follow all local laws and respect legal cannabis use where permitted, but ask that any smoking (of any kind) be outdoors only and away from shared community spaces to keep things comfortable for all attendees.

This retreat is about connection, presence, and shared joy — so we just ask that everyone participate with care, kindness, and consideration. 💖

Yes! While this particular event is U.S.-based, Sessions Retreats are hosted around the world, and we’d be absolutely honored to welcome friends from anywhere.

If you’re an international guest looking to join us, we’d love to hear from you and support you however we can. Community like this knows no borders. 💌

Because we begin booking venues, securing materials, and covering upfront costs the moment you reserve your spot, all payments are non-refundable.

We totally understand that life happens — but this retreat is a shared commitment. Every spot is accounted for in the overall budget, and when someone backs out, it affects the experience and cost for everyone else involved.

If you can no longer attend, you're welcome to transfer your spot to another guest, but it is your responsibility to sell or gift your ticket. We’re happy to help promote that in our community where possible, but we cannot issue refunds under any circumstances.Thanks so much for understanding — this policy helps us protect the integrity of the retreat and everyone who’s counting on it. 🤍
