zen retreat
Peaceful spiritual escape
A zen retreat is a period of withdrawal from daily life for meditation and contemplation, typically at a dedicated center or monastery.
Participants practice sitting meditation, observe silence, and follow simplified routines.
The term extends loosely to any getaway promising calm and mental clarity: I need a zen retreat after this week.
Also called a meditation retreat.
