A 1745 Map of Essex

Managed Retreat is an occasional journal of the English Orient and it's made in Essex. It's about energy descent, reinhabitation, the spirit of place, fermenting your own culture(s), being reasonable, demanding the impossible.

It's a place of many voices, not all of them in agreement, mustered into a kind of chorus by Captain Floud, who draws your attention to the words of  Peter Berg.
