How the estimate works
Each retreat in our directory carries published price data: a minimum, a maximum (where two are listed), and a price model (fixed, sliding-scale, by-donation, or contact-for-pricing). When you apply filters, the estimator surfaces the median minimum and median maximum across the filtered set, plus the count of centers operating on donation.
Median (rather than average) is used so single high-end outliers don't distort the central tendency. For a more complete picture of what your specific retreat will cost, click through to the matching listings — pricing tiers vary substantially by accommodation choice within a single center.
