Paradise found [antikvár]

There comes a time when each of us needs to just sit quietly, rest, reassess, and breathe deeply. All the destinations described in this book provide the structure, the setting, and the support to do just that. Each in its own unique fashion is an oasis of calm, an environment whose sole purpose is to provide the time, the space, the silence, and the solitude to refresh the mind, renew the spirit, and heal the body. Who would benefit from a stay at one of these sanctuaries and retreats? Anyone. Harried professionals and overworked caregivers. Mechanics. Couples seeking to reappraise their relationship. Individuals whose lives are in transition. Individuals who want their lives to be in transition. Executives. Those surviving a midlife crisis. Those enjoying late-life freedom. Gardeners and psychiatrists. Those recovering from illnesses, breakups, or addiction. Individuals seeking to connect, or reconnect, with nature, with God. Bus drivers. Individuals searching for their inner self, their inner voice, or their inner child. Artists. Roofers. Scientists. Homemakers. You. Each of these sanctuaries and retreat centers welcomes seekers of peace and insight from every walk of life and of every denomination. For solitude sometimes is best society And short retirement urges sweet return. —Milton, Paradise lost
