I’m becoming Catholic, don’t ask, it’s a long story and a longer process LOL, but the youth group at my church (again, don’t ask) has 2 major retreats throughout the year as well as a few “work” or team ones. In my research for our journals, I found several websites that have ideas for those who don’t have access/time/money to retreat centers:

I don’t think retreats are for any particular religion, so don’t feel put off if these seem too oriented Christianity – see if something in the meditation or alone time appeals to you.
There’s a retreat center in Malibu I hope to go to for one weekend, Serra Retreat Center, I’m a little nervous about having my own thoughs for my only company, but I hope I learn something :)
