Unmasked & Unplugged: A Retreat for Autistic Adults

Uncover your authentic self alongside Autism enthusiast, Kory Andreas. Escape to a breathtaking, waterfront sanctuary, designed for relaxation and "unmasking." May 1st-4th! in Sherwood, Maryland!!!

Imagine four days of peace, connection, and total authenticity—where you don’t have to explain yourself, mask your quirks, or navigate the unspoken rules of Neurotypical spaces. The Unmasked & Unplugged retreat is designed to give you the freedom to just be.

This retreat is all about creating the kind of environment where you can finally exhale. Surrounded by nature, quiet moments, and sensory-friendly spaces, you’ll experience the magic of Neurodivergent intersubjectivity: that rare, beautiful connection that happens when you’re with people who truly get you. Here, conversations go straight to the good stuff—whether it’s an info-dump about a special interest, a shared love for parallel play, or comfortable silence that feels as meaningful as any words.

In this space, connection and autonomy coexist beautifully. You’ll have time to explore the outdoors, enjoy incredible meals prepared with care, and choose exactly how much socializing—or solitude—you need. There are no performance expectations, no small talk, and no obligations. Just you, being fully yourself, surrounded by a community that feels like coming home.

This retreat is a chance to tune into what true safety and acceptance feel like—so you can take that feeling home and rebuild it in your everyday life. Come as you are. Rest, reset, and leave with a deeper sense of who you are when the mask comes off.

Your place at the table is waiting. Will you join us?

Connect and share: Enjoy a long weekend (4 days) with a small, supportive group of Neurodivergent adults. Discover powerful strategies to minimize burnout and gain practical tools for everyday life. Explore your true self while reconnecting with nature in our sensory-friendly environment.

Tailor your experience: Choose from private or shared accommodations in a large house! (all inclusive price of 2200 for a private room). A deposit of $500 holds your spot today!

Your retreat includes:

  • A welcome reception Thursday night including food, (optional) drinks, and connection

  • Delicious meals and snacks prepared for you (and you know Kory can’t wait to tell you about the food!)

Bring your crocheting, your art, your bird watching binoculars, your graphic design, your list of books. You want to talk about bread making? Mushrooms? How about pizza? Coffee? Dogs? We will monologue about monologuing. Saddle up! We have time.
