1-5 April, 2026 : Holy Week Retreat @ Lifesprings Spirituality Center, SG
Often known as the “Passion Week,” this is not the kind of passion as perceived by Christians and defined by the world. The Latin “passio” means “passivity” : While the Passion of Jesus was about the pain of the crucifixion, there is more to passion than we think. At this retreat we will retrace – and listen afresh - the voices coming out of the final week in this “Great Finale of Love.”
Please email via website for Registration and details.
Minimum number applies for retreat to materialize.
15-21 June 2026 : “Meeting God in the Dark” @ 7 Fountains, Chiangmai
Why do you go to the movies? Perhaps for very good reasons. How about going to the movies to meet with God? You may be surprised to find God there, already waiting for you. From print to screen. From screen back to the print on the pages and passages of life – life on earth as it is in heaven. Thomas Merton once said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” And Jesus said often, “Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self.”

30 June – 7 July 2026 : PIT-Stop 8 Retreat @ 7 Fountains, Chiangmai
Deliberately timed middle of the year, PIT-Stop is a retreat designed for people-in-transition. Whether one is in the midst of making major decisions or at the threshold of life’s twists and turns or awakening to some spiritual season of change, wondering about God and the faith-journey; or for people continuing in ongoing soul work through dreams. Materials on mid-life spirituality will be introduced at this retreat.
Please email via website for Registration and details.
Minimum number applies for retreat to materialize.
9-16 November 2026 : November Retreat @ 7 Fountains, Chiangmai
This retreat is catered for people, especially those in church ministry, who cannot come away for the retreats in December. November is most memorable for Thanksgiving Day as well as preparing for the advent of Advent! How special a time it would be just doing that, coming away for a time of thanksgiving and preparing for the Arrival of Advent before the busyness of Christmas and New Year pull us away from the Real Reason of the Season – Christ.
Please email via website for Registration and details.
Minimum number applies for retreat to materialize.
12-21 December 2026 : Advent Retreat @ 7 Fountains, Chiangmai
Advent is a season of spiritual preparation for the arrival and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ who is always coming, “in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak.” – not just out there but also in here. Will there be “room in the inn” for Jesus to be birthed this Advent?
A very popular retreat, so please email via website for Registration and details.
28 Dec 26 – 6 Jan 27 : Crossover XIII Retreat @ 7 Fountains, Chiangmai
Another very popular retreat where we get to cross from the old into the new from the reflective point of gleaning from the last12 months and gathering the graces into the next 12 months. Each fragment of the year passed are taken, blessed, broken and given as food for the season to come, whether small or large.
Please email via website for Registration and details.
18-24 January 2027 : January Retreat @ 7 Fountains, Chiangmai
“Time and tide wait for no man” emphasizes that we cannot stop the passing of time nor delay the tide and therein lies the invitation to live as wise man “making the very most of your time on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence..and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.” (Eph 5:16f, AMP) Will you seize this opportunity of a retreat with the Lord at the beginning of 2027?

Calendar of Quiet Days
Jackie and Beng Kuan are associates of Listening Inn (please see bio in website) who offer
spiritual direction both on site at retreats as well as off-site on personal arrangements.
They are offering three Quiet Days in 2025.
What is Quiet Day, you may be asking. A Quiet Day is a day of recollection, a time to come
aside to stop, pause, ponder through Scripture and materials or hand-outs related to the
theme of each Quiet Day. It is a time to relook at one’s relationship with God as well as a
time to rest and be refreshed. Time for silence and solitude is interspersed throughout the
day with a lunch break.
Kindly email Jackie or Beng Kuan directly as indicated below:
​
Quiet Day at Lifesprings Canossian Spirituality Centre, SG.
31 January 2026 (9am to 5pm): Travel Light
When Jesus sent out the 12 disciples to tell others about the kingdom of God, he instructed them to take nothing for the journey: “Don’t take a walking stick, a traveler’s bag, food, money, or even a change of clothes” (Luke 9:3). The start of the new year could be an opportunity to declutter and let go of our dependencies so that we can be more open to what the Lord has in store for us. This is an invitation to slow down, take stock and be with the Light of the World so that we can Travel Light.
Kindly contact Jackie directly at jyapsk@singnet.com.sg for registration and details.
24-Hour Retreat at Lifesprings Canossian Spirituality Centre, SG.
17 to 18 April 2026 (5pm on 17 April to 5pm on 18 April): The Journey
The journey of our life leads us to many new places. Sometimes we look with anticipation, welcoming new chapters of our lives. Sometimes the road ahead has no clear path, and like the Israelites, we appear stuck between the Egyptian army and the big sea. Let’s come and reflect on our life journey, the steps that we have taken or are taking and see where God is.
Kindly contact Beng Kuan directly at bkuan@singnet.com.sg for registration and details.
Quiet Day at Lifesprings Canossian Spirituality Centre, SG.
8 June 2026 (9am to 5pm): ABC (Always Be Childlike)
As we stand at this half-year point, perhaps coming to terms with loss, we may depend on our acquired knowledge and experience of life. But Jesus gives us an invitation in Matthew 18:3-4 (The Message) - “Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God’s kingdom.” Come join us for a Quiet Day to explore what gets between you and God and rekindle your child-like nature to live the simple and elemental life of the kingdom of God.
Kindly contact Hui Boon directly at huiwenhb@gmail.com for registration and details.
3D2N Retreat at Lifesprings Canossian Spirituality Centre, SG.
20-22 August 2026 (9am on 20 August to 5pm on 22 August): AI
In this retreat, we explore AI not as Artificial Intelligence, but as Awakened Insight. In Mark 13:32-37, Jesus instructed his disciples to keep awake, watch and pray as they did not know when He would return. This is an invitation to slow down to contemplate and take a long loving look at the real - to look at God and to see what He sees when He looks at us and at the world.
Kindly contact Jackie directly at jyapsk@singnet.com.sg for registration and details.
Quiet Day at Lifesprings Canossian Spirituality Centre, SG.
31 October 2026 (9am to 5pm): Every Day God
Sometimes we wonder where God is in our every day life. He may seem absent as we rush through the day. How do we take our everyday, ordinary life – our sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life - and place it before God? Come and join us for a Quiet Day to reflect on God who keeps company with us every day.
Kindly contact Beng Kuan directly at bkuan@singnet.com.sg for registration and details.
