If the idea of two weeks spent shooting rapids, trekking in Nepal, or even fighting the crowds at Disney World sounds like work rather than vacation, consider instead a holiday for the soul. All across the United States, monasteries, abbeys, and retreats--both religious and nonsectarian--offer travelers respite from the world and a chance to refresh the body and renew the spirit. In Sanctuaries: The Northeast, Marcia and Jack Kelly offer a choice of more than 300 places where refuge, peace, and tranquility are the order of the day. Each entry includes historical background on the establishment, plus a description of the physical surroundings, accommodations and spiritual activities. This particular volume covers sanctuaries in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
