Endria says, "I've been backpacking and climbing for over nine years, and this was one of the most special, healing, and joyous backpacking trips I've ever been on. I really loved spending time in the mountains with women of color--sharing space to talk about our experiences, joys, and pains in the outdoors, and cultivating the healing that comes with being heard and seen (and from plunges in freezing alpine lakes)."

How much does a retreat cost in California

California retreat costs typically range from USD $250 to USD $1,000 per day, with most programs falling between USD $300-600 daily. Shorter experiences (1-4 days) generally command higher daily rates, while longer programs like training certifications offer better value over time. Accommodation significantly impacts pricing - private rooms or luxury options can add USD $200-500 per day compared to shared or camping options at the same venue. Specialized retreats (ayahuasca ceremonies, luxury cleanses) tend toward the higher end, while nature-based and spiritual retreats often provide more affordable options, especially with camping accommodations.
