How to Retreat - Step away from your everyday to rest, reset and renew

What comes into your mind when you hear the word ''retreat''? A 10-day meditation session, or a trip across the world to far-flung places? This book offers you the wisdom and practical steps to introduce the magic of retreating into your own life and home, whether it''s for a week, a day - or even an hour. Using the seasons as a guide, each chapter delves into a simple theme to give you focus in your exploration, guiding you through various soul-nurturing activities and leading you towards a more balanced, happier version of yourself.
