I'tikaf or Seclusion in the Mosque is to stick to something whether good or bad and to block everything else out of your life. A time for Allah only.
I'tikaf is seclusion in the Mosque for the pure pleasure of Allah. The only reason one leaves is to relieve one self or to perform wudu (washing for the prayer.) It is allowed to leave the Mosque for food and drink also, but it is preferred not to.
