Product Description
Review
"An inexpensive way of finding peace." -"Guardian
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
This revised and expanded guide lists over 200 places of retreat, including Buddhist, Christian and Yoga centres, with descriptions of what they have to offer, in the UK, Ireland and France. The book explains what a retreat is and the differences between the various types - religious, non-religious, group, individual and with a special theme. From castles to cottages, large or small, they all offer their guests an opportunity to understand themselves better and to develop a greater awareness of their unity with others. Stafford Whiteaker is the author of "The Compleat Strawberry", "A Career in Advertising and Public Relations", "English Garden Embroidery" and "English Countryside Embroidery".

Format:Paperback
This book covers all kinds of retreat and is not restricted to religious places. The information given on each entry is comprehensive and detailed, allowing you to quickly find the type of place you are looking for. I have visited one of the places in the book and the information was accurate, it was exactly as described. One small criticism - the book is organised geographically, it would be useful if it was also cross-referenced by type of retreat and/or religious orientation.
