Balearic bliss on a yoga retreat
2008-06-09 00:00:00 The island of Ibiza is fast becoming the yoga capital of Europe and leading the way is a retreat behind beautiful Benirras beach.Ibiza Yoga offers beginner and general yoga courses from May to October with prices including seven nights' accommodation, three hours of yoga a day and vegetarian brunch.Living quarters vary from pagodas and teepees set on the wooded hillside to villas with views of the sea.Those settling for humbler accommodation do not miss out on the beachscapes either however, with yoga decks boasting prime locations over the breathtaking island scenery.This can be explored at closer range with relaxing walks or beach bathing following the morning's posturing, twisting, balancing and stretching.D-lite Yoga Retreat in Ibiza is another great place for a holistic holiday or for a short break to repair the party damage done elsewhere on the island.

World overlords retreat to their hidey-holes

A Weak Dollar and Sluggish U.S. Economy Accelerate Toyota?s Retreat to Emer
2008-05-09 19:30:00 A weak dollar and an even weaker U.S. economy have proved to be serious roadblocks for Toyota Motor Corp. (TM), which reported a 28% decline in net income for its fiscal fourth quarter. The company said it expects its first annual profit drop in nine years to occur in fiscal year 2009, despite strong sales in developing markets. High oil prices helped boost the sale of smaller more fuel-efficient cars in the United States, but overall region sales declined. Fourth-quarter sales of the Toyota Yaris were up 58% and Prius sales shot up 23%. Still, Toyota?s total North American sales fell…SHARETHIS.addEntry({- title: "A Weak Dollar and Sluggish U.S. Economy Accelerate Toyota?s Retreat to Emerging Markets", url: "http://jutiagroup.com/2008/05/-09/a-weak-dollar-and-sluggish-u-s-economy-accelerate-toyota%e2%-80%99s-retreat-to-emerging-mark-ets/" });

Away on Retreat
2008-05-05 16:24:00 My finals are done! Very exciting - unfortunately between school and because I have been busy working on the video project for the Paulists' 150th Anniversary I have not been able to keep up with the blog.

Retreat, Defeat, Elite, and other words that rhyme
2008-04-16 18:04:00 I'm not sure how the President had a change of heart regarding global climate change, but apparently he has. A new series of initiatives he unveiled today will seek to reduce the production of greenhouse gases while limiting the impact on the economy. I haven't often had the opportunity to praise this president, but this sounds like a sensible approach. As far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out on the exact extent to which climate change is directly caused by human activity and more research and study should be encouraged. However, I do know that less pollution in general is a good thing, so approaching this subject in a slow, responsible way while being mindful of not violating the law of unintended consequences is probably a good start.It does seem, however, that in this bitter, partisan environment there are those who view this as a big, flaming bag of poo on the doorstep of the GOP. From The Corner:I cannot emphasize too much how idiotic this is. At a time when the po...
Kylie Considers Country Retreat
2008-04-15 16:28:00 Kylie is rumored to be buying herself a £3 million, 15th century country mansion. According to todays papers she viewed the riverside Tudor property (which boasts its own chapel) in Sussex last week and is close to putting in an offer. Kylie arrived back in the UK last week after an exhausting run of promotional appearances in the US. An unnamed source told the paper, “When she got back to the UK she decided it was the right time to treat herself. She has been thinking about buying a home in the English countryside for a while and thought that would be the thing to put a smile on her face.” Kylie had revealed last year that she wanted a country retreat to escape to, saying, “I’ve started to look for a property in the country. I have this need to reclaim myself a little bit, to do things to make me feel whole, which is why I’m doing all these things such as horseback riding and taking walks in the country and looking for a place outside London to ...

Easter Triduum Retreat Weekend (At Last)
2008-04-04 16:25:00 I know it took a week in the making, but pictures can often tell a better story than simple words, and I patiently awaited pictures of the event to share with everyone else. Thanks a lot to Brother Vince for sending me the whole DVD of pics.Friday afternoon I left Grand Rapids and headed around the lake to Burlington, Wisconsin. Ironically enough, I never got lost once on the freeways or driving through Chicago; upon entering Burlington, I drove around for 20 minutes, unable to find the Novitiate house.It was good to see some of my fellow brothers-to-be once again, but it was nice to meet so many new faces that were interested in learning more about the Order. The number that I'd been told these past few months was 8: out of 14 applications, they were "pretty sure" 8 would actually be a Postulant this year: myself, Parker, Rich, Dan, Stan, Quang, Quan, and Kyle. However we're still 4 months away, and many more people could come and go between that time.After catching up and gettin...

Marine retreat aids war-strained couples
2008-04-02 23:17:00 Finally, my tax dollars being spent on something worthwhile: Fighting in Iraq took a heavy toll on Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel Patrick, damaging his hand, injuring his brain and causing him to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. But Patrick's body wasn't the only thing hurt by combat. His relationship with his wife was wounded, too. The couple got married shortly after he returned, yet Patrick refused to talk to her about the war. Sometimes he yelled at her. So the pair marked their first anniversary this past weekend at a Marine Corps retreat that took a decidedly un-military approach to saving marriages: Combining classes in communication with massage therapy, yoga and meditation. It's an effort by the military to ease the strain on married couples when soldiers return to civilian life after long, repeated deployments. Later in a dimly lit room, Seibert learns to give his wife a foot rub from a massage therapist. Across the room, Patrick massages his wife, Samantha, modify...

Triduum Retreat
2008-03-20 04:34:00 This morning I leave for Burlington, Wisconsin to spend the Triduum Weekend with the Capuchin Franciscans of the St. Joseph province. This will be one of the last requirements for applying to the Order. When I leave Grand Rapids, I will bring all of the required documents, forms, and doctor's reports that were asked. After this weekend everything is completely in God's hands as to whether or not I'll be accepted.Often I try to compare it to joining college, since it's the only experience that comes close. The recruiter knows me well, I've visited the campus several times, I've met my possible classmates already, and I already know which dorm room I would get if I attended. The last and final formality is the acceptance. At college, it's done by an Admissions Board. It is much the same in the Capuchin Order, except the Head of the Province has the final say on who joins and who doesn't.While there are many other colleges that await an anxious high-school graduate, to be turne...
The mountain retreat, part 1
2008-03-19 17:24:00 280 women. All gathered in a mountain sanctuary. Voices lifted in jubilant song, clapping, dancing even. The theme of their gathering is one word: BELIEVE (period). I am tired from the drive up the mountain and still feeling dizzy from the motion sickness of swerving round and round and round each curve to get here. It is late Friday evening, and I'm still unsure about why I'm here. Then I remember the words of invitation on the brochure my friend, Karin, sent me weeks ago. retreat: " a place of refuge, seclusion or privacy ... a period of retirement for religious exercises or meditation ... an asylum, as for the insane ..."Whatever definition suits your current situation, we invite you to join us at the women's retreat.I giggle under my breath. It was the word, "insane" that nudged me in this direction. You have to love a church that welcomes the "insane" to join them for their mountain ...

A Luxury Retreat In Tuscany
2008-03-04 15:54:00 Author: Peter R Stewartvia articlesbase.comA Luxury retreat by its very nature needs obviously to be luxurious, but to be a retreat it also needs to be hidden away, not easy to find, and somewhere you can feel totally relaxed and away from everyday pressures. La Bandita in Tuscany Italy easily fulfills all these requirements.If you decide to hire a car or even heaven forbid drive from another European country it is quite likely you won't find La Bandita at the first or even second time of trying, indeed you will probably need to call La Bandita to get directions it is that well hidden away up a track needing four wheel drive.You can stand outside La Bandita and look to all corners of the compass and you will see nothing but hills, some sheep and perhaps some sheepdogs.
