A quiet sheep in blessed retreat (6)
I believe the answer is:
ashram
'blessed retreat' is the definition.
'ashram' can be an answer for 'retreat' (type of religious retreat). I am not sure about the 'blessed' bit.
'a quiet sheep' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'sheep' becomes 'ram' (male sheep).
'a'+'sh'+'ram'='ASHRAM'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ashram that I've seen before include "Retreat -- a marsh (anag)" , "etreat" , "Hindu retreat location" , "Indian religious retreat" , "Hindu hermitage" .)
