Why go on RETREAT?

A gorgeous woman in relaxation, at the Alice Springs Women's  Retreat May 2013

Why take a retreat...

" I think it is essential to sometimes go on retreat, to stop everything that you have been doing, to stop your beliefs and experiences completely and look at them anew, not keep on repeating like machines...

You would then let in some fresh air into your mind, wouldn't you?

You would become open to the mysteries of nature and to things that are whispering about us...

In a retreat.. you can have a complete break from the past and see what happens...vast expanses of love, understanding and freedom.

When your heart is open, then your own noises are not heard.

To take a retreat and go away and stop the routine - not only the routine of outward existence but the routine which the mind has established...."

J. Krishnamurti, Madras 1952

Angelina Jolie undergoes double mastectomy

Is this the latest form of public female mutilation? 

Do you think that if the genetic odds were the same for other forms of cancer: liver, brain etc, those organs would be amputated?

Could this public mutilation of the symbols of womanhood be a further act of the masculinisation of women by popular American media and by Western science. 

What was she thinking...really? (and yes I do know her aunt died of breast cancer shortly after.)

In my book FINDING ARTEMISIA,  the young woman suffering with anorexia shares her world through her diary (The Oracle) and provides deep insights into anorexia. The book also provides her psychologist's point of view and her experience of working with the disease.
