weekend retreat

Brief rural stay

A weekend retreat is a short getaway, typically to a peaceful or scenic location, for rest, reflection, or focused activity.

The term often implies escape from daily routines: a yoga retreat in the mountains, a corporate team-building retreat.

Retreats may be organized around spiritual practice, creative work, or simply relaxation: We're going on a weekend retreat to disconnect from everything.
