pastoral retreat
Bucolic escape destination
A pastoral retreat is a period of withdrawal from ordinary life for spiritual reflection, typically in a rural or peaceful setting.
The pastoral combines its religious sense (relating to a pastor's care of souls) with its older meaning of countryside peacefulness.
Churches organize such retreats for clergy or congregations: The youth group spent a weekend at a pastoral retreat in the mountains.
