Unmasked Women's Retreat

The Unmasked Women's Retreat is a healing retreat for women, led by Kaara Kiddoe, LCSW, at Elohee in Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia. It is written for the strong, faith-filled woman who is ready to heal in community, and it is held in Mandala Hall in the North Georgia mountains.

The retreat is designed for ambitious women who want room for healing, self-discovery, community and connection. If you carry a lot, lead a lot, or are used to being the capable one, this women's retreat in Georgia offers a setting where that role can be set down for a while and honest work done alongside other women.

What to Expect

The retreat centers on four things: healing, self-discovery, community and connection. The healing is meant to happen in the company of other women rather than alone, and faith is part of the invitation. It is addressed to women who bring faith into their lives and want that to be welcome in the room.

The name says something about the intent. "Unmasked" points to the habit of presenting strength and having it together while the harder things go unspoken. The gathering is built as a place to put that aside among women doing the same.

About Kaara Kiddoe, LCSW

Kaara Kiddoe leads the retreat and holds the credential of Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). That clinical grounding shapes how the retreat is framed: as healing work for women, in community, with a faith-filled perspective.

The Setting

The retreat takes place at Elohee, a retreat center in Sautee Nacoochee, in the mountains of North Georgia. Sessions are held in Mandala Hall, one of the gathering spaces on the property. Elohee hosts retreats through the year, including yoga, meditation, rest and women's weekends, and its mountain surroundings suit the quiet and reflection this kind of gathering asks for.

Before You Go

This retreat is for women. No prior experience with retreats, yoga or therapy is described as a requirement, and the invitation is open to women who see themselves in its description: strong, ambitious, faith-filled and ready to heal alongside others.

A men's retreat, FORGED, runs at Elohee on the same days in a different space, so the women's group gathers on its own.
