    In the Gospels we see Jesus doing three things; first, he encounters people, in the ordinary circumstances of their lives. Second, Jesus responds to their needs.  Third, he opens a new vision, "the Kingdom".  In this retreat, we will follow Jesus in the Gospels as he brings Good News to the poor.

    In life, when we lose a loved one, we may need to enter into this process called "grieving." 

    Going into this grieving process entails facing our pains with humility and courage. It involves accepting, naming our sorrows, and dealing with them so that eventually quality interior healing can occur in us. Understanding the grieving process so that we can give ourselves to it more helps facilitate this healing in us. Pivotal to our emotional healing is the venting or releasing of our negative and sorrowful feelings caused by our loss. Venting or releasing these feelings can take different forms. For example, we can "talk" about it, "write" about it, "draw" or "paint" about it, and "pray" about it.

    Our retreat will offer ample sacred time for formal prayer and discussions on seeking a greater sense of meaning and hope in life, which will contribute greatly to our inner healing and emotional well-being. 

    This retreat registration is open to those who wish to participate through Zoom. 

    Suggested Donation Amount: RM 175 for Malaysians and SGD 175 for non-Malaysians.
