Retreats: Panacea for industrial strife
KAY Zegar, the famous counsellor and multi-therapist, wrote about retreats as follows: “Retreats offer the benefit of physical, emotional and psychological withdrawal from the stresses and strains of everyday life: a chance to escape from the toxic effects of noise, information overload, unrealistic demands and the frantic busy-ness of 21st Century living; to enjoy a safe haven in which to start to recover from trauma and to heal on all levels.”
