Retreat

A retreat is generally a time of solitude and prayer conducted in a remote location, such as a monastery. This is popular with some forms of Christianity, especially Roman Catholicism and Anglican churches.

A retreat is also a private haven or get-away area, often in the country, to which one escapes periodically.

To retreat is to run away or back off from danger.
