Retreats are a spiritual pause. A quiet atmosphere. The solitude of a mountain or desert place. A seaside monastery or a palapa in the jungle. In retreat, we move away from the familiar and arrive into the unchanging calm of spiritual harmony. Through the process of withdrawing from our daily routine we enter a place of stillness. We refresh the heart with brighter, spiritual views. We revise our thoughts and more deeply feel our relationship with the Creator - in prayer, in meditation, in nature - gaining higher views of divinity. Retreat is a spiritual regeneration that revives, recharges and recuperates, illuminating the light of the soul.
