One day I want to escape

I want to believe there are still places in the world that haven't been ruined or filled with teeming housing projects, urban blight and endless stretches of tarmac and grey.  I hope to be able to go live in one of these places in the future and find some sort of peace.  Either as part of a small community or with significant others who feel as I do.  As such I developed an interest in sustainability and self sufficiency.  Though it sounds naive, I like urban life a little less each time I'm exposed to it.

  • Not any more I've been out of that world for a long time now, I have looked from time to time, but many of the retreat places seem to be based on a particular religion or spiritual belief, they're also very expensive. There seem to be few places that are about exploring your spirituality and many seem to have set programs. I'd love to do a silent retreat again, but I don't want to one based on a single practice, I can't do yoga anymore which many of them seem to insist on you doing.
