English term or phrase: a creative retreat
This is from an essay to introduce a Peter Max art exhibit at a museum:

The seventies saw Max take a creative retreat to focus on painting, but even so, in the past thirty years Max has combined his art-making with his devotion to make this world a better place.

I'm stuck with the right word for "retreat" here. Ideas? Thanks to all!
