REFLECTION
Since ancient times, wise cultures have appreciated the value of a retreat. Time in retreat allows us to step out of the complexity of our lives and, instead, listen deeply to our bodies, hearts and minds. It’s an important time of discovering inner understanding and freedom from our busy lives and cluttered minds.

Retreat Inward
A retreat can provide an opportunity and a caring container for undertaking the struggles that hold us back from living a balanced life. The central practice on retreats is THE CRAIGVILLE RETREAT CENTER mindfulness, which enables us to see the ways we create difficulties in our lives and to discover a freedom of heart in the midst of all things.
SKY MEADOW RETREAT
While experiencing a silent and mindful environment, awareness sharpens, the body quiets, the mind clears and space opens for insight and understanding to develop. So, without cell phones, television and e-mails to distract you, I challenge you to retreat inward and find your solitude and balance. There are several quiet, beautiful places of retreat that are conducive to contemplation and reflection. Some of my favorite sites are: Angel's Rest Sky Meadow Retreat Retreat Center Stannard, VT Leyden, MA www.skymeadowretreat.com www.angelsrestretreat.com St. Joseph Retreat Center Harmony Center Cohasset, MA Medfield, MA www.csjretreatcenter.org www.harmony-center.org Sweet Retreat Divine Rolling Ridge Retreat Sanctuary N.
