In this warm woman-to-woman guide to creating your own personal retreat, Jennifer Louden, the modern-day pioneer of women's well-being, offers a practical and inspirational handbook - the first to focus on the needs and stresses of women - and walks you step-by-step through planning and savoring a self-led retreat. Easy-to-do practices and encouraging insights help you retreat whenever and wherever you can make the time; decide whether to retreat at home or away, solo or with others; use the ancient tradition of the retreat to separate from daily concerns; counter fear, guilt, or boredom; and re-enter ordinary life renewed.A perenially wise and useful sourcebook of ideas and inspiration, The Woman's Retreat Book can be turned to again and again, whenever you feel the need to retreat. And for those of us certain "the kids will starve, the cat will die, and the company will go bankrupt" if we take time away, Louden offers the gentle but firm reminder that nurturing ourselves gives us the energy and strength we all need to live full lives.
