"Roger Housden's beautiful introduction to the practice and philosophy of the spiritual retreat is a complete overview of the long and venerable tradition of withdrawing temporarily form the world in order to experience a return to oneself.  Housden brings to the modern seeker a glimpse of the diverse and rich practices that through the ages have taught the spiritual value of solitude and contemplation.  He shows us how, with the cultivation of silence and awareness, we can each find relief from the hectic and chaotic pace of the world and come alive to ourselves again."
