How We Verify Our Data

Source: Center Websites

Every data point comes from the retreat center's own website — not user reviews or third-party estimates.

Structured Enrichment

We extract traditions, pricing, silence levels, accommodation types, and dietary options from each center's program and facilities pages.

Last Verified Dates

Every listing shows when it was last verified, so you know how current the information is.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ZenDawn verify retreat center data?

Every listing is enriched from the center's own website. We crawl program pages, pricing pages, and facility descriptions to extract accurate information. Each listing shows a "last verified" date so you know how current the data is.

How much does a meditation retreat cost?

Prices range widely depending on tradition, duration, and accommodation. Some centers operate entirely on donations (dāna), while luxury retreats can exceed $5,000. Our directory shows verified price ranges for 100% of listed centers so you can compare before contacting.

What are deal-breaker filters?

Deal-breaker filters are the dimensions that most affect your retreat experience: tradition (Vipassana, Zen, etc.), silence level, duration, price, accommodation type, dietary options, and beginner-friendliness. Instead of generic star ratings, we surface these specific attributes so you can find exactly what you need.

Is ZenDawn a booking platform?

No. ZenDawn is a comparison directory. We help you research and compare retreat centers using verified data, then link you directly to each center's website to book. We don't take a cut of your booking — our goal is transparency, not commission.
