The Finances
We believe in being transparent about what it actually costs to run this retreat. The base costs below reflect the minimum required to cover accommodations, meals, materials, and facilitation, while ensuring Marissa is compensated at least $4,000 for designing and leading the experience.
Base Costs (true cost to run the retreat):
- Single Room (3 nights, includes Well-Being Day): $1,260
- Single Room (2 nights): $980
- Double Room (3 nights, includes Well-Being Day): $1,000
- Double Room (2 nights): $750
We use a sliding scale model to make this retreat more accessible while also sustaining the work. If you are able, we invite you to pay above the base cost.
Paying at a higher tier helps:
- subsidize spots for those with financial constraints
- support the long-term sustainability of Reloveution
- ensure this work can continue in a way that is not extractive or under-resourced
We trust you to choose the rate that aligns with your current financial reality and honors the value we are offering. In deciding how much to pay, we encourage you to make generous, open-hearted choices that honestly honor your personal circumstances and any privileges you hold. We also encourage you to pursue support from your employer if it is appropriate and/or use professional development funds if they are available.
How much should you pay?
You might consider paying above the base cost if:
- Your organization is covering your attendance
- You have access to professional or personal development funds
- You are financially stable and able to invest in others’ access
You might choose to pay at or near the base cost if:
- You are self-funding and cost is a meaningful consideration
- You have the ability to pay the base rate, but it requires some planning or prioritization
- You are able to invest in yourself, while still being mindful of your overall financial responsibilities
You might choose to pay below the base cost if:
- You are experiencing financial hardship or instability
- You are currently underemployed, unemployed, or in a period of transition
- You are doing meaningful work that is under-resourced or underfunded
- Attending at the base cost would create stress, strain, or prevent you from otherwise participating
However much you contribute, your investment covers:
- All retreat programming and facilitation
- Lodging (2 or 3 nights depending on your selection)
- All meals during the retreat
- Materials and take-home resources
- An unforgettable experience
Payment plans are available. However, we cannot hold your seat unless we have at least 75% of your agreed-upon registration cost by September 4, 2026. Thank you for understanding!
