That's a great question! The cost of a retreat can differ significantly based on a number of factors, and it's important to understand what's included when you're making your decision.

At Black & Bould, our goal is to offer a truly immersive and comprehensive wellness experience. Our retreat pricing is structured to be virtually all-inclusive, meaning that beyond your airfare and personal travel insurance, the majority of your needs are covered. This typically includes:

Luxury Accommodations: We carefully select high-quality and comfortable lodging to ensure your relaxation and rejuvenation.

All Meals: You'll enjoy thoughtfully prepared and nourishing meals throughout your stay, supporting your well-being from the inside out.

Curated Excursions & Activities: Our itineraries feature a range of enriching experiences designed to engage your mind, body, and soul – from opportunities for exploration and adventure to moments of peaceful rejuvenation.

Expert Guidance: You'll benefit from the expertise of our facilitators and any specialized instructors leading sessions.

It's important to note that some other retreats may have lower price points because they operate on a different model. They might not include all meals, may offer more basic accommodations, or have itineraries with fewer included activities. Often, participants in these types of retreats will need to budget separately for meals, optional excursions, and other on-site costs.

At Black & Bould, we believe in providing a holistic wellness journey where you can fully immerse yourself in the experience without the worry of constant additional expenses. Our aim is to create a space for you to relax, rejuvenate, explore, adventure, and exercise – nurturing your mind, body, and soul – with almost everything taken care of for you. While our daily itineraries are optional, they are crafted with the intention of offering a truly comprehensive and rewarding retreat experience.
