retreat

[Svitlana Kobets]

It was very interesting to learn about Catholic/Western Christian
connotations of the term 'retreat'. I just want to add one little detail.
Nowadays in the Western World it's far from uniquely Christian practice.
There are Yoga retreats, Buddhist meditation retreats etc. They are
collective practices that do not have any parallels in Orthodox
Christianity. It looks like Russian might as well make use of another
English borrowing ;)

Best,
Svitlana
