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.
