A personal retreat is a vacation for the spirit, when we turn away from everyday concerns to reconnect with our spiritual side. In religious traditions, retreats are most often a time away from home devoted to prayer and meditation, but personal retreats can also take the form of short but intensive periods of reflection and renewal in the midst of everyday life. Taking time out can be one of the most helpful ways of valuing and affirming our path so far in life and of visioning the road ahead. Some special occasions and events such as birthdays, bereavements, anniversaries and changes in our lifestyle can also invite us to pause for reflection and prayer. "Vacations for the Spirit" is a practical introduction and guide that demonstrates how a deep and ancient spiritual method can enrich people in all walks of life. Through creative exercises and meditations, the book acts as an aid to understanding traditional forms of retreat as well as a guide to practicing personal retreats to develop inner strength and personal empowerment.
