Retreats

Every one of us deserve time away from doing because in engaging with only engaging in tasks everyday, we start to lose ourselves in habitual cycles and rat races that may not serve us.

When we stop staying in touch with our mind and body (our soma), our system starts to break down and leading to chronic illnesses and psychosomatic symptoms.

In making time and space for ourselves in a retreat, it is a time to come home to ourselves, the root that we rely on to function and just continues to support us because we ask it to.

Stepping into a retreat means, we are giving our mind and body a chance to heal, rejuvenate, and rest. An opportune moment to help our system to re-calibrate.

    Personal items:

    • Something for shade and shelter such as a cap/hat, umbrella, proper footwear for walking or wet weather (outdoor environment)

    • The retreats that we offer integrates skills and knowledge from the East and West teachings. However, all the programmes we offer are in secularism and backed by scientific research.

    • Retreats usually serves as a spiritual journey for participants, and there are no boundaries to connecting your personal spirituality journey to your own faith if this is something you wish to do!

  • The world of capitalism pulls us away and further from our own mind and body. Attending retreats can:

    • serve us as a way of pausing, detoxing, healing, recharging and rejuvenating your whole body’s system.

    • help us re-calibrate our way of being especially when we experience feeling out of control, of that life has been feeling rather out of whack.

    • guide us to gain knowledge about our inner compass and help us towards having insight and a sense of clarity.

  • There is no structured periods that one should attend a retreat. Rather, if we bring to perspective that going for a retreat is a way to maintain, recover or recharge oneself, then you would innately have a knowing how many retreats in a year can support you and your way of living.

  • Retreats do not have to always be a 10-day or a month long. Imagine that it is like taking meals where we wish neither to binge, become addicted nor do we wish to starve ourselves. We need to have a balanced frequency and volume of work, life, and self to stay grounded, healthy, and joyous as a human being.

    So doing retreats is a similar approach as above that fuels the elements of self and life. Most of us work an average of 8 to 10 hours a day, and even after knocking off from work, work still happens. When are we ever stepping out of work?

    And so the deep perception of having ‘no time’ becomes a decision that we need to make in the end. If we understand that attending retreats can offer us a way of refueling doses of energy for our mind, body and spirit, which will in turn support our long term health and well-being, we would know that taking time out for ourselves naturally becomes a fundamental.

    We offer short 1 to 5-day retreats so that even with a busy life, there is here and now an opportunity to take a rejuvenating pause to tend to yourself for at least 1 out of 365 days this year.
