I am in the process of drafting the poster to advertise the retreat. But, I am stuck at the question of “price”. How much should it cost for a woman to have a retreat experience?
When I first decided to create this space, my motivation was to share the beauty, the natural stillness and the restorative solitude that exists here. I have been so fortunate to ‘own’ this little piece of property, and so, so many women will never have that opportunity. It feels like my duty to offer it to guests. The actual ‘work’ of creating this retreat however has not been without financial input.
Anyone who knows me knows that financial gain is not my first priority. That being said, I would like to cover my costs. There is the coffee, tea, and breakfasts to be purchased, not to mention all of the bedding, kitchen supplies and the actual cost of the building the structures.
I have searched the internet to get an idea of the rate other retreats charge. It ranges from very little to very, very expensive. So this is what I have decided.
The Main Cottage – Outback
$45 per night
Yurt
$35 per night
Faerie Cottage (not yet finished)
$35 per night
I think these rates are reasonable. But, I will also provide a sliding scale or “pay what you may” option, and as always guests may choose a Karma Yoga exchange.
