Retreat?

I attended a retreat this weekend - a roundup we call it - an orderly withdrawal from the routine of every day life.  Problem is, I don't do much retreating - other than being away from home, the big city, and such.  We, my husband and I, keep too busy - there are a few places we like to take first timers who attend - and we always do.  We want to show them the lovely area, the amazing All Saints Chapel at University of the South,

the Lodge Cast Iron store at the foot of the mountain, the Smoke House restaurant with it's fabulous fudge and other delights, the cross at the top of the mountain,

the Monteagle Assembly homes.  It's all fun and I enjoy seeing others taking pleasure in some of the places and doing a little shopping and exploring.  However, I realized I'm not retreating much.  I'm not withdrawing much.  I'm busy from early morning to late at night while there.  I did very much enjoy the time spent out at the bonfire on Saturday night. 

It was perfect outside, stars and planets shining, full moon, and cool but not cold and the crackling fire and roasted marshmallows were delightful. I even made a s'more!!  

So, how do I make the choice to not participate in those outings?  Will I be bored if I just stay in, take a nap, or read or work in my art journal?

Will my friends feel neglected or ignored?  I'm not sure what it means to take care of myself in this situation because I do enjoy the fellowshhip going around together. What's my perception of what the weekend is supposed to be? What do I want from it?. Must ponder this more.
