I found this book in the small gift shop attached to the New Camoldolese Hermitage high above the town of Lucia on California's Big Sur Coast. For those looking for a place to retreat from the interruptions of everyday life, a monastery, hermitage, abbey, retreat center or sanctuary can?t be beat. Whether you're seeking a quiet place to finish The Great American Novel or a place to find spiritual renewal, you'll surely find many good suggestions in this book. More than 200 centers are listed within Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington, including location, history, prices, accommodations, and spiritual activities.
