A retreat is generally a time of solitude, prayer, or meditation conducted in a remote location, either privately, or at a retreat centre such as a monastery. Regular retreats are considered essential in Buddhism, and they are also popular in many Christian churches, including evangelical Protestants, Roman Catholics and Anglicans. Depending on the religion's particular understanding and emphasis, a retreat may be a solitary event, or a group gathering. Some retreats are held in silence, and on others there may be a great deal of conversation, depending on the understanding and accepted pr ...

He was a Parisian by birth and always preferred the city to the country. However, in order to have the quiet solitude he needed to write music, he spent as much time as possible in his home in the Loire Valley. This has led to the misconception that he preferred the country, but in fact he found rustic life boring and he hated walks. He was called to military service twice, the first time beginning January 1918, during which Poulenc served a ten-day sentence in military prison ...

Carmelites

Members of a Catholic religious order that originated as an organization of lay hermits near Haifa on Mt. Carmel ca. 1200.

Around 1238 conditions in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem forced the Carmelites to emigrate to Europe. There, Innocent IV (1247) approved changes in their life-style that included permission to settle not only in desert sites but in the towns of Europe. At that time the Carmelite hermits became friars.

Hermitical origins and a mendicant status created the basic Carmelite tension between solitude and (ministerial) community. There are two branches of the order: Carmelites of the Ancient Observance and Discalced Carmelites, with women and men and lay affiliates in both.

A popular rather than a literary poet, her poems express sentiments of cheer and optimism in plainly written, rhyming verse. Her world view is expressed in the title of her poem "Whatever Is—Is Best" (suggesting an echo of Pope's "Whatever is, is right."). None of her work was included by F. O. Matthiesen in The Oxford Book of American Verse, but Hazel Felleman chose no less than thirteen of her poems for Best Loved Poems of the American People, while Martin Gardner selected "Solitude" and "The Wi ...

Observation of ascetic lifestyles have appeared in both religious and secular settings. For example, ancient Hebrew sects fasted in order to become Holy, early Greeks undertook a regimen of severe physical discipline to prepare for battle, and Stoic philosophers disciplined their will against a life of sensual pleasure to achieve spiritual goals. Christian monks eschewed the comforts of the world for the solitude of the desert. Following the Reformation, the straight-spined Puritans endured the hardwood pews of freezing New England meeting halls.See also:

Emerging from his solitude Rienzi journeyed to Prague, which he reached in July 1350, and threw himself upon the protection of the emperor Charles IV. Denouncing the temporal power of the pope he implored the emperor to deliver Italy, and especially Rome, from their oppressors; but, heedless of his invitations, Charles kept him in prison for more than a year in the fortress of Raudnitz, and then handed him over to ...

Giles first lived in retreats near the mouth of the Rhône and by the River Gard, in today's southern France. (A noble Athenian parentage is probably an embellishment of his early hagiographers.) Finally he withdrew deep into the forest near Nîmes, where in the greatest solitude he spent many years, his sole companion being a deer, or hind, who in some stories sustains him on its milk. This last retreat was finally discovered by the king's hunters, who had pursued the hind to its place of refuge. An arrow shot at the deer wounded the ...

Rebbe Nachman placed great stress on meditation. One distinctively Breslov practice is called hisbodedus (hiss-BO-de-dooss), also called hitbodedut (hit-ba-de-DOOT) in Israeli Hebrew. This literally means "to make oneself be in solitude." The Breslov form of hisbodedus is a personalized form of free-flowing verbal prayer which is practiced by the individual Hasid, in addition to the regular daily services in the synagogue. Breslover Hasidim try to spend an hour alone with God each day, pouring out their thoughts and conc ...

Antimony was recognized in antiquity (3000 BC or earlier) in various compounds, and it was prized for its fine casting qualities. It was first reported scientifically by Tholden in 1450, and was known to be a metal by the beginning of the 17th century. The origin of the name "antimony" is not clear; the term may come from the Greek words "anti" and "monos", which approximately means "opposed to solitude" as it was thought never to exist in its pure form, or from the Pharaonic (Ancient egypt) expression "Antos Ammon", which could be translated as "bloom of the god Ammon". The alchemi ...

The earliest recorded inhabitants of the Farne Islands were various Culdees, some connected with Lindisfarne. This followed the old Gaelic tradition of island hermitages, found in Ireland, and Scotland. The first visitor recorded by name was Saint Aidan followed by Saint Cuthbert. The latter was called to the bishopric of Lindisfarne but after two years he returned to the solitude of the Inner Farne and died there in 687. Among other acts, St Cuthbert introduced special laws in 676 protecting the Eider ducks and other seabirds nesting on the islands; these are thought to be the earliest bi ...

Leprechauns rarely appear in what would be classed as a folk tale, in almost all cases the interest of these stories centres round a human hero. Stories about leprechauns are generally very brief and generally have local names and scenery attached to them. The tales are usually told conversationally as any other occurrence might be told, whereas there is a certain solemnity about the repetition of a folk-tale proper. In most tales and stories leprechauns are depicted as genuinely harmless creatures who enjoy solitude and live in remot ...

Flaubert's curious modes of composition favored and were emphasized by these peculiarities. He worked in sullen solitude, sometimes occupying a week in the completion of one page, never satisfied with what he had composed, violently tormenting his brain for the best turn of a phrase, the most absolutely final adjective. It cannot be said that his incessant labors were not rewarded. His private letters show that he was not one of those to whom easy and correct language is naturally given; he gained his extraordinary perfection with the unceas ...

In the summer of 1929 O'Keeffe went to New Mexico with Rebecca Strand. They went to Santa Fe and then on to Taos. Between 1929 and 1949 she traveled to New Mexico almost annually. During her second summer in New Mexico she began collecting and painting bones, and she painted many landscapes in New Mexico. Each year she returned to New York after painting in solitude, and Steiglitz organized exhibitions of her work at his gallery An American Place. In late 1932 O'Keeffe developed increasingly severe psychological symptoms and was hospitalized ...
