hermitude

a combination of the words 'hermit', and, 'attitude' indicating the suggestion of the 'hermetic vas' spoken of by Jung. In Jungian terminology, the Hermit is the archetypal "Wise Old Man".
The hermit, being "the primitive man who trusts the unconscious" (von Franz on Jung's 'Zofingia lectures')is one whose way of life is concerned with authenticity, the inner attitude to life, and developing one's inner and intuitive life, as opposed to playing a role in the external world of socio-politics.

For the one in hermitude, a simplicity of life and thought begins to unfold.

Hermitville

A place you go when you want to be secluded from the world. Your own personal hideaway such as your house, bedroom, or bed.

"Has anyone seen or heard from Brooke lately?"
"No, I'm guessing she took a trip to Hermitville."

Hermitism

Zane...

Or the action of becoming a hermit (being alone) but not necessarily on purpose. Some people turn to Hermitism because they have moved to a place far away from their friends. They normally pack up all their possessions and move out to the forest.

Awwwww

Zane has turned to Hermitism.
