Where would you go if you wanted a break from your life?

I desperately need head space from my life - not just a weekend away. I need some thinking time but crippled with guilt about the fact that I have dependent children. I have a husband - we are currently in the process of separating (driven by me). I don’t have any family. What would you do?

IME, retreats are not 'evangelical' (i.e, not trying to convert you).
They can be really useful places of peace and silence when you feel a bit lost.

A tent in a field with nothing around. Bliss.

As someone else suggested, there are monasteries with farms that do retreats. You don't have to be religious. We went to a wake at one in the Dorset countryside and it was wonderful. Had whole cottages you could rent, or just rooms. They charge a 'donation' based on what you can manage.
