The Good Retreat Guide

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".
