Unicorps Retreat FAQ
-
The price for this 5-day/4-night retreat in the French Quarter is $1200 per person.
-
Dinner on arrival night is included. On other nights, since New Orleans is filled with hundreds of delicious, world class restaurants, participants are free to head out into the city on whatever culinary adventure strikes their fancy, or take advantage of the venue’s kitchen to cook their own meal or order in. Do what works best for your budget and cravings, and remember to do your dishes! We will have some refrigerator space reserved for participants should they need it.
-
Everyone is invited to submit any specific dietary restrictions during registration. French Quarter Retreats will do their best to coordinate with our caterer to meet your needs as best we can. If you have dietary needs we cannot meet, we will work with you to make sure you have some refrigeration space set aside so you can keep what you need nearby and fresh.
-
Because this is our first time running this retreat with French Quarter Retreats, we will not be offering scholarships at this time. French Quarter Retreats does have a payment plan option available that you can choose when registering.

Since this is a retreat for Unicorns by Unicorns who know what it’s like to grown up in and navigate a mostly sex-negative world filled with folks who aren’t Unicorns, we have put in place several considerations to help stack the deck in favor of the attendees’ emotional and physical safety…
The Intake Form: After registering, every attendee will have to fill out a brief intake form that the organizers will review to ensure that this retreat is a good fit for everyone who is coming and that the adult nature and explicit content we will be diving into during the retreat is not going to be “too much too soon”.
The Opening Circle: Mandatory attendance at the Opening Circle on Arrival Day required to attend the retreat. The Opening Circle is where we will create a safer, braver retreat space for our community journey together. It is where the organizers will go over the agreements and community guidelines for the retreat, emphasizing how we will navigate consent and privacy, as well as how we will support one another in building trust as well as repairing trust and being accountable to one another should something transpire that touches upon past traumas or could have been done better. The Opening Circle will also include ice breaking exercises and games to give the group an opportunity to practice and anchor these skills and concepts.
The Support Team: Through the entire retreat, the organizers and support team with be available for support, space holding, answering questions, and following up with attendees and what they need. Whether it’s cheering someone on about a breakthrough they just had, giving compassionate witnessing as feelings bubble up, or helping an attendee process how they’d like to deal with a consent accident, a learning curve mistake, or a downright violation, the organizers and support team will be available to help.

Read the event copy for this retreat again if you’re still unclear. Maybe it sounds too good to be true and that’s why you’re asking? We understand. As far as we know, there has never been a 5-day/4-night gathering designed specifically for a group of 16 to 24 Unicorns! You know what this means? Expect to experience magic during this retreat!
-
Like all of Reid Mihalko’s events, we trust you to take care of yourself and opt in or out as you need. The only thing that’s mandatory at this retreat is to attend the Opening Circle and follow the retreat rules and agreements. Attend what feels good to you, opt out of what doesn’t, and you are encouraged to change your mind.
-
Bring whatever you need to make the most of 5-days and 4-nights in New Orleans surrounded by a herd of Unicorns just like YOU!
After you register, you will receive more specific "welcome to the retreat" information on recommended things to pack, what field trips we have planned, dress up theme nights we have planned, what safer sex supplies and toys to consider packing, etc.
Basically, if you’ve read this far into the FAQ, it’s probably time to register so we can send you the welcome packet! ;)

The venue is a historic building in New Orleans’ French Quarter where the retreat space and bedrooms all exist on the 2nd floor accessible only by stairs. (FYI, there is an elevator in the building but it’s beyond repair according to the land lord).
There are approximately 42 stairs up to the second floor.
If you have specific asks or inquiries regrind accessibility, please email Reid@ReidAboutSex.com with them so we can brainstorm!

As far as we know, there are no similar events that compare to the Join the Unicorps Retreat. We love our Lifestyle friends who prize Unicorns, but that’s not the same thing that we are co-creating with YOU and your Unicorn siblings.
