To me this is like asking why go on vacation! Why would you pack up half your clothes and all your toiletries and then spend extra money to go sleep in some other town?
For the fun of it, for the adventure, so you can see and do new things and meet new people!
I've never actually gone on a retreat, but I'd like to. I seem to find out about them too late, or it's one that's too far away or not suitable to me for some reason or another. (I AM rather picky, too.) But I tend to turn my vacations into sewing retreats anyway - if it's a road trip I can pretty much guarantee a sewing machine is included in my luggage!
