Retreats

We offer personally directed retreats, preached group retreats as well as seminars on different topics related to spiritual life. Spiritual direction is in Thai or English

Directed Retreats (individuals): Our focus is on the personal experience of God. Each retreatant meets his/her director privately once a day to share his/her experiences of God during that day, in order to understand better the promptings of the Spirit for him/her. The director may suggest Scripture passages for meditation. However he would not impose any method of prayer or set any goals for theretreatant — fully respecting the retreatant’s freedom in his/her dealings with God. The retreatant sets his/her own schedule, so as to develop his/her own rhythm of prayer and responses to God’s invitation. The duration could range from one day to one month. Retreats could be requested and held any time of the year, depending on the  directors’ availability. 


Personal retreats (individuals): Everyone is invited to come and spend a day or several days in silent prayer on his/her own. The retreatant may also approach a director.

Preached retreats (groups): The director offers two to three talks a day and gives directions for prayer. Individual spiritual direction may also be provided, depending onthe director’s availability.
