Women's wellness retreats in the US for 2026: named programs, next dates and printed prices

Short answer: On Nov. 4, 2026 we counted 25 named women’s retreats in the US with dates printed on the host’s own site: 4 with dates left in 2026 and 23 with dates in 2027 (2 programs have both). Examples as printed: a $500 long weekend at YMCA Camp du Nord, a six-night sliding-scale meditation retreat at Spirit Rock with a Basic Rate of $1,500, and a spa week at Golden Door, which prints no price. Only 11 of the 25 say in so many words who may attend. If you have had recent trauma, significant depression or a major loss, check with your own clinician before you book.

If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 in the US now, and call 911 if a life is in danger. A retreat is not crisis care. If someone is hurting you at home, the National Domestic Violence Hotline answers at 1.800.799.SAFE (7233), or text START to 88788.

This guide is general information, not medical or mental-health advice. If you have a condition or see a therapist, your own care team’s advice comes first.

We did not visit or test any retreat, we do not vouch for any host, and nothing here can be booked through us. No retreat can pay to appear or rank here. Dates and prices come from each host’s own site or booking page, read on Nov. 4, 2026 unless we say otherwise.

Two rows need a call to the host. Women’s Quest prints different Vermont dates and prices on two of its pages, and the Lair has not set its 2027 rates. Esalen’s visit page also carries a Highway 1 travel advisory, so check the road before you book.

How we counted these women’s retreats

We read the calendars of retreat centers, resorts and independent hosts on Nov. 4, 2026. Web searches and directories were used only to find a host’s site, never as a source.

A program counts if it is in the US, has a name and printed dates on the host’s own site or booking page, and the host presents it as a women’s program. A program with several dates counts once.

Of the 25, 11 state who may attend in so many words, such as “Women Only” on Retreat Ranch’s calendar. The other 14 say they are for women without saying that anyone else is excluded, so ask if that matters to you.

This list is not finished. Breitenbush says it is still accepting workshop proposals for 2027 and beyond, and other hosts may add dates over the winter.

Women’s programs we left out of the count, and why

We left out Omega Institute’s Rewilding Women, Jun 27 to Jul 2, 2027 in Rhinebeck, NY, with tuition of $595.00 standard or $535.00 for members. It is designed for women, but its page says it is “equally appropriate for anyone”.

We also left out two Canyon Ranch Austin programs built around women’s health, because we found no line limiting who may attend. On Oct. 27, 2026, Wellness Weekend with Camila Alves McConaughey & Women of Today listed Dec 4 to 6, 2026 at $3,900 per person per stay, excluding taxes, and Level Up with Dr. Stacy Sims, Dec 10 to 13, 2026, showed as sold out.

Who should wait or check first before a women’s retreat

Women’s programs often speak to hard seasons. Omega’s page names divorce, menopause, grief and caregiving, and SHE RECOVERS names anxiety and depression, grief, loss and self-injurious behavior. That does not make a retreat the right place at every stage of those.

The Insight Meditation Society says a silent retreat may not be appropriate if you have recently experienced considerable trauma, significant depression or anxiety, or strong PTSD, and that a therapist can help you decide whether to wait.

Spirit Rock says practitioners “should be in a stable period of mental well-being”, and asks anyone under psychiatric care to discuss attending with their professional. The Hoffman Process says severe or treatment-resistant depression and certain anxiety-related disorders need review before attending.

Women’s retreats after a loss, or while on medication

After a death or other major loss, NHS guidance says to see a doctor if you have had a low mood for more than 2 weeks or feel increasingly depressed or anxious. Get that care first and let the retreat wait.

Keep taking prescribed medication. The National Institute of Mental Health says not to stop one without the help of a health care provider, even if you feel better.

Tell your therapist or doctor which program you are considering and what it involves: silence, breathwork, sharing circles or ceremony. Our guide to retreats for anxiety and burnout covers this in more depth.

What women’s circles and retreat teachers can and cannot do

Many of these programs run on group sharing. Elohee’s sample schedule has women’s circles on two days, Garrison’s includes small-group sharing, and SHE RECOVERS offers sharing circles.

The one trial of women’s circles we found was a pilot in Guatemala, with 84 women in circles and 71 controls, all pregnant or within 2 years postpartum, over 10 sessions. Wellbeing scores were higher at 1 month, which says little about a weekend retreat. We found no trial of women-only retreats against mixed ones.

Retreat staff are not your clinicians. The Insight Meditation Society says it is “unable and unqualified to provide medical and psychological care”, and Spirit Rock says its teachers “are not in the role of therapists” even when they hold that training.

SHE RECOVERS describes its practitioners as trauma-informed. Ask what training sits behind that phrase on any page, and whether a licensed clinician is on site.

Deep practice can unsettle people. In a review of 83 studies of meditation, adverse events occurred in 8.3% overall, anxiety was the most common, and they may occur in people with no previous history of mental health problems.

Hiking and mobility at women’s retreats

Movement is central to many of these. The House of Rose says Sacred Sedona is best suited for women with moderate mobility, while Ambuja Yoga says the hikes on Rooted & Wild are doable for most fitness levels, with a shorter route or rest any day.

SHE RECOVERS says Retreat Ranch is not recommended for anyone with significant mobility issues, and Garrison says there is no guest elevator, with rooms for the mobility-impaired on the first floor. Ask how long and steep the walks are, and what the rooms require, before you pay.

You do not need to train for a retreat. We found no study of a sauna or cold routine in the week before one. If you already use a studio, our day experiences map lists venues with addresses and official sites.

Sauna, cold plunge and breathwork: who should check first

Heat and cold appear on several programs: Nourished Woman lists forest-view saunas and a riverfront cold plunge, and Roots lists sauna and cold plunge. Cleveland Clinic says to avoid a sauna after a recent heart attack or stroke or after drinking alcohol.

It also says to check first if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, over 65, taking medication, or have epilepsy, a heart condition, or high or low blood pressure. It suggests around 15 to 20 minutes, starting with five if you are new.

ACOG says it is best not to use saunas and hot tubs early in pregnancy, because your core temperature rises. Our pregnancy guide covers the rest.

For a cold plunge, Cleveland Clinic says to talk to your provider first, particularly with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, pregnancy, peripheral neuropathy or poor circulation.

Breathwork varies, so ask which kind a program uses. Cleveland Clinic advises avoiding holotropic breathwork with cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, a recent injury or surgery, panic attacks, psychosis or seizure disorders, and in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Our breathwork safety guide has more.

Affordable women’s retreats: the lower printed prices

These are full-rate prices at the lower end of our tables, as printed on Nov. 4, 2026, before travel.

• Spring Women’s Retreat, YMCA Camp du Nord: $500. The host says the price includes lodging, food and workshops, and a few optional activities cost extra.
• Women’s Spring Reset Glamping Retreat: $695, with a $195 deposit.
• Women’s Mindful Reset Retreat: $899 or $999 per person in the shared bunkhouse.
• Roots Women’s Retreat: $900, with a $500 deposit.
• Ayurvedic Women’s Retreat, Breitenbush: $987.00 in its lowest-priced lodging.
• Rewilding the Sacred and Back to Nature: both start at $997 per person.
• Shedding the Old, Esalen: $595.00 for a sleeping bag space, plus $35 faculty tuition.

Spirit Rock runs a sliding scale. Its Basic Rate is $1,500 for 6 nights with food and lodging, with scholarship rates of $570 and $50 for people who qualify, and teacher dana on top.

Kripalu splits the bill: tuition of $350 or $440 on these two programs, plus accommodation from $109 a weeknight. It adds a 3% non-refundable processing fee, and it also offers scholarships.

We have no evidence that a lower price means a weaker program, and we did not attend any of these. Compare what each price covers. Our cost guide compares published prices at 16 retreats.

Deposits and refunds at women’s retreats

Read this before you pay, because the rules run from a small fee to no refund at all. These are the hosts’ own words in short, and the dates are the days we read them.

Host	Deposit	Refund rule
Mind & Body Complete (Nov. 4, 2026)	50% non-refundable	“strict no-refund policy”, including family, health and death; travel insurance required
Ambuja Yoga (Nov. 4, 2026)	50% non-refundable	Full refund minus the deposit if you cancel 45 or more days out; none after that
Women’s Quest (Nov. 4, 2026)	$500 for US retreats, non-refundable	Refund minus the deposit at least 91 days out; none at 90 or fewer days
Spirit Rock (Nov. 4, 2026)	Minimum 30%	Fee of $50 at 12 weeks or more, up to $300 at 2 to 4 weeks; no refunds inside 2 weeks
SHE RECOVERS (Nov. 4, 2026)	$500	Lose the whole payment if you cancel 30 days or less before the start
Kripalu (Oct. 28, 2026)	Not on the page we read	Full refund less a $50 processing fee at 15 or more days out; credit after that
Golden Door (Nov. 4, 2026)	No amount on the page we read	Deposit back at least 30 days out; forfeited inside 30 days
Breitenbush events (Nov. 4, 2026)	Not on the page we read	Refund minus a $100.00 service charge at least 14 days out

Women’s Quest and the House of Rose recommend travel insurance, and Ambuja Yoga strongly recommends it. Our travel insurance FAQ explains what to check, and our lead time FAQ covers when to book.

Women’s retreats in the Texas Hill Country

Six of the programs above are at one venue, Retreat Ranch in Marble Falls, which says it sits on 46 acres about an hour from the Austin airport. Each program has its own host, so prices, group size and rules differ.

The region is limestone country with many springs, oak and juniper, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife.

Check access first. Retreat Ranch says many of its accommodations and common areas require steps, that it has no elevators, ramps or ADA-compliant bathrooms, and that service animals cannot be accommodated anywhere on the property, because free-ranging animals live there.

Alcohol differs too. Wine & Unwind includes daily wine tastings, while SHE RECOVERS says its retreats are alcohol and drug free. If you are in recovery, or you take a medicine that does not mix with alcohol, that matters.

Group size is not uniform. Flip the Box says no more than 15 women, and the booking pages for Roots and the Spring Reset allow up to 32 and 20. Our Hill Country guide covers the wider region.

Women’s retreats in Sedona

Three programs above are in or near Sedona: Rooted & Wild, Sacred Sedona and the Women’s Intuitive Retreats. All three pair yoga with hiking, and all the dates we found are in 2027.

Some pages lean spiritual. Powers Yoga lists an Indigenous Fire Ceremony, a sound bath and intuitive workshops, and says you will explore Sedona’s vortexes on guided hikes. PubMed returned no study of Sedona vortexes, so ask what any ceremony involves.

None of those three pages mentions plant medicine. If a program elsewhere offers one, ask what it is and whether it is legal where you are, and see our guide to what legal means.

NIDA says psilocybin typically raises blood pressure and heart rate, which may be dangerous for people with heart conditions. Oregon licenses psilocybin services through licensed facilitators and service centers, which tells you nothing about a ceremony in another state.

Sedona is not high by the usual altitude rules. The US Geological Survey puts its Oak Creek gauge near Sedona at 4,172.88 feet, and a National Weather Service forecast point there reads 4518 ft. CDC starts its altitude illness warning at elevations higher than 8,000 feet.

Our Sedona guide covers the wider retreat scene.

What the research says about retreats for women

We found one randomized trial of a women-only resort stay. Healthy women who had not meditated stayed 6 days and either joined a meditation retreat or simply relaxed.

All groups improved about equally at first, and the new meditators held on to lower distress longer. The Chopra Foundation and Marc and Lynn Benioff funded it.

The lift fades. In 76 clerks, burnout was part way back 3 days after a vacation and fully back at 3 weeks, and women had greater relief but the quickest fade-out. In 87 workers, burnout was back to its earlier level four weeks later.

What you go back to seems to matter. Among 131 teachers, job demands after a vacation sped up the fade, and relaxing in free time delayed it.

We found no study testing a follow-up call or integration session after a wellness retreat. If a host offers one, treat it as a nice extra, and plan your first week back yourself. Our evidence guide compares the studies.

What to ask a women’s retreat before you pay

1. Who may attend? If it matters to you, ask in writing about trans women, nonbinary guests and anyone else.
2. What does a day look like? Elohee prints a sample schedule, and you can ask others for theirs.
3. Who leads, what training do they have, and who responds if something goes wrong emotionally or medically?
4. Do you screen people first? Spirit Rock and Ambuja Yoga use a questionnaire.
5. How many people will be there, and how personal does the group sharing get? Can I pass?
6. What is not in the price: travel, tips, faculty tuition, processing fees?
7. What happens to my money if I cancel, including for illness or a death in the family?
8. Can I manage the site? Ask about steps, trails, service animals and diet.
9. What, if anything, happens after I go home?

FAQ: women’s wellness retreats in 2026 and 2027

Which women’s retreats still have dates in 2026?

On Nov. 4, 2026 we found 4: Classic Women’s Week at Golden Door, the Ayurvedic Women’s Retreat at Breitenbush, Healing Our Way Home at Garrison Institute and the Women’s Mindful Reset Retreat at Retreat Ranch. Check with each host for space, and read its refund rule before you pay.

What are the most affordable women’s retreats?

The lowest full-rate prices in our tables are $500 at YMCA Camp du Nord, $595.00 for a sleeping bag space at Esalen plus $35 faculty tuition, $695 for the Spring Reset and $899 for a shared bunk at the Mindful Reset. Spirit Rock also has scholarship rates, and Kripalu offers scholarships. Check what each price includes before you compare them.

Are these retreats really women only?

11 of the 25 say so in so many words or state who may attend. The other 14 present themselves as being for women without printing a limit, so ask the host.

Are trans women and nonbinary people welcome?

Some hosts say so. Garrison’s retreat welcomes trans women, gender-expansive people and anyone who self-identifies as a woman of color. Spirit Rock’s is open to all who identify as women and to non-binary people who feel nourished there.

SHE RECOVERS names women and non-binary individuals. Most other pages we read do not say, so ask.

Can I go to a women’s retreat if I am grieving or have been through trauma?

Possibly, but ask first. Several hosts say a silent or intensive program may not suit you if the trauma is recent or you have significant depression or PTSD.

Talk to your therapist or doctor, and do not treat a retreat as care. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

Is a women’s retreat in Sedona a problem because of the altitude?

CDC starts its altitude illness warning at elevations higher than 8,000 feet, and official readings around Sedona run well below that. We found no source for a two-day adjustment there. The hiking itself is the thing to check, so ask how long and steep it is.

Can I book these retreats through Tendground?

No. Booking through Tendground is planned, but nothing on the site is bookable through us today.

Book with the host, and read its refund rule first. You can leave your email on our retreats page to hear when that changes.
