  First World War.com - Memoirs & Diaries - The Great Retreat in Serbia in 1915
There we would rig up a dressing station, and dress the wounds of the men as they marched by, and there we were invariably sent to join the retreating mass again, as the sound of the guns drew nearer and the towns behind were occupied by the enemy.
And when one remembers how the conditions of retreat can turn men into animals, when things are down to the bed-rock of primitive passions and desire for life, then it is a proud thing to remember also the high courage with which this people bore their disaster.
To add to the horrors of the retreat, there fell upon the mountains in that December one of the worst snow-storms for decades, and then was the pathway indeed bordered by death.

 How to Create a Great Legal Retreat
Retreats provide excellent opportunities to reflect on the successes, changes and turmoils of the department over the past year.
Themes of law department retreats tend to be broad, such as "innovation" or "teamwork." A third of the retreat should involve clients speaking about what they do and what they need from the law department.
A retreat is enriched if it covers three important topics: information that teaches participants about their company, the laws they need to know and how the department can work together more efficiently.

 Munsters in Retreat, 1918
By noon a gap on the left gave the German troops a further advantage, and they occupied a little ridge which ran in the direction of Chuignolles, from the Canal de la Somme, and from this point they were able to dominate the lower ground where the Munsters were situated.
The commanding officer, a man of great personality and swift powers of decision, decided at once, even with his very limited numbers, to organise a counter-attack.
It was very dark where he was, and there was no sky line, but, by the flare of light from the burning canal bridge, he could see, mingled with the moonlight, the outlines of a great many men moving on the river bridge, though the village itself was perfectly quiet.

 a History of the Great European Conflict
Yet, such was the courage of the men and their initiative, that even as the German guns ceased and the great horde of riflemen came sweeping across the conquered ground, the ragged line of Russian infantry reformed again and again, and advanced with the bayonet to challenge their overmastering enemy.
Again were the great cafes crowded with Austrian officers, and save for a notice board or two in Russian, and occasionally a proclamation pasted upon the blank walls in the same language, and the graves of Russian soldiers in the big cemetery outside the town, there was no sign that it had ever changed hands.
To the great skill, to the cool deliberation and courageous bravery of the Russians was due the defeat of the object of the Germans, namely, to destroy the cohesion of the Russian armies.

 anders ramsay > Another great IA Retreat
The IA Retreats have been an ongoing tradition for a few years now, but as far as I know all have been held on the west coast at the Asilomar Campgrounds, a gem of a retreat venue on the Northern California coast.
After attending last year’s amazingly great Asilomar retreat, I thought it was time to do this on the east coast, if nothing else for a change of scenery, but also to attract people who may not want to travel all the way across the country for a retreat.
Just as last year’s retreat at Asilomar was a huge inspiration for me, I hope people attending this year’s event found it equally inspiring and go on to organize events of their own, and that the IA Institute can be there to support them in their efforts.

 New Dharma Talks - How To Do A Meditation Retreat
I recommend spiritual retreat both to enter a particular practice path, and also as a way to recharge the inner battery, remain motivated, and overcome the inevitable hindrances and obstacles to going deeper on your spiritual path.
While such retreats are logistically difficult for most people to manage, there are many opportunities at Buddhist centers today to enter deeply into the same practices I learned while on retreat.
Using this structure, you can really do a retreat almost anytime you choose, and structure it according to what is most conducive to accomplishing your goals during the period of time you can set aside for this worthwhile pursuit.

The Great Retreat is the name given to the slow, fighting retreat by Allied forces to the River Marne, on the Western Front early in World War I, after their defeat by the Imperial German Armies at the Battle of Mons on 23 August 1914.
Seeing such a great opportunity the Allies; all three infantry corps and the two cavalry divisions of the BEF and the French 5th Army, quickly moved into this gap and attacked both the German Armies' exposed flanks with full force.
The German retreat between September 9 and September 13 signaled the abandonment of the Schlieffen Plan.
