I have been reading lately about “detoxing.” I was looking at this from the perspective of cleansing my body from the unhealthy things I ingest. My goal was to feel renewed. A fresh start.
Even better I thought was a detox of the soul. No, not an exorcism, but a time to really check out and heal from pressure, stress, personal issuesm and assorted drama. Haven’t you ever felt the need to just run away? Be still? Rest?
I do.
Once or twice a year I go to a monastery. I usually spend one day silent (no talking at all) and one day fasting. The amazing thing is that when I do speak again, I notice how much mindless chatter takes place instead of true communication. I am settled. Less anxious. I become closer to God and a bit more aware.
Find a quiet place where you can connect to what is important…and shake off the things that weigh you down. Don’t forget your favorite books and PJ’s.
My favorite places for rest are:
Mount Calvary Retreat House
Mission San Luis Rey
Prince of Peace Abbey

I love Old Mission San Luis Rey...if you like that you should try Serra Retreat in Malibu. It is owned by the same people as the Mission. It is the Malibu Canyon and offers amazing views.
Hi Monique, You have great taste. Serra was my first choice that weekend but they were booked. Next time, i'll plan earlier. Thanks for the tip.
