2026–2027 schedule · the wheel of retreats

Find your
selah.

Six retreats across nine months — three in Singapore, two overseas, all built on long weekends so you don't have to negotiate leave to find God. Eight to fifteen people per retreat. Space to breathe. A guide who will sit with you — not fix you, not preach at you — just companion you in the silence.

Upcoming retreats.

Six retreats. Nine months. Each one anchored on a long weekend so attendance doesn't cost a leave day. Register early — spots fill quickly. No one is turned away for financial reasons.

Open
Gate II — The Drawn

Preparing — What is already here?

Where Singapore
When Sat – Sun · 1 night
Capacity Max 15
All Levels Ages 13–35 Lectio Divina Zero Leave

The threshold of Advent. We begin waiting before the Church does. A first introduction to Lectio Divina — the ancient practice of reading Scripture as living voice — with open response time for those who want to colour, draw, journal, or simply sit. No skill required. The Lectio is the listening. The response is the receiving.

Gate I — The Intentional

Pondering — What has been given?

Where Singapore
When Sat – Sun · 1 night
Capacity Max 15
All Levels Ages 13–35 Film + Journal Zero Leave

The strangest week of the year. The Christmas Octave — eight days the Church says count as one liturgical day. A held screening of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe followed by silence and journaling. Mary's posture: treasuring what has arrived, pondering it in the heart.

Gate I — The Intentional

Pursuing — What is being asked of you?

Where Singapore
When 8:30am – 5:30pm
Capacity Max 15
All Levels Ages 13–35 Journaling Zero Leave

The first Saturday of the new year. Not goal-setting — discernment. The Magi did not have a five-year plan; they had a star. Three guided journaling sessions across the day — gratitude, discernment, sending — leaving with one bearing for the year. Not ten things. The one thing.

Open
Gate III — The Broken

Remembering — The day between

Where Singapore
When 8:30am – 5:30pm
Capacity Max 15
All Levels Ages 13–35 Held Silence Zero Leave

Holy Saturday — the day Christ lay in the tomb, the day the disciples did not yet know what was coming. The most contemplative day in the Christian year. A retreat for the seasons of faith that are quiet — when God seems silent, when the early clarity has blurred. We do not solve that experience. We companion it.

Gate I — The Intentional · Extended Retreat

Renewing — The Long Walk

Where Chiang Mai, Thailand
When Tue – Sat · 4 nights
Capacity Max 12
All Levels Ages 18–35 Walking + Lectio School Holidays

Five days in the Chiang Mai hills. Built around the Emmaus road — two disciples walking with Christ, not yet knowing who he was. Renewal is not a thunderbolt; it is a long walk in good company. Daily walks in held silence. Daily Lectio. Daily breaking of bread. The walk is the retreat.

Gate I — The Intentional · Extended Retreat

Releasing — Transfiguration

Where Dalat, Vietnam
When Sat – Wed · 4 nights
Capacity Max 12
All Levels Ages 18–35 Mountain Silence NDP Weekend

The Vietnamese Highlands at 1500m. The Feast of the Transfiguration sits the day before this retreat begins. Peter wanted to build tents and stay forever; Jesus said nothing in return. Five days re-telling the Transfiguration story slowly — the climb, the seeing, the cloud, the descent, the keeping. They came down changed.

There is nothing new
under the sun.

The Vitruvian Primehood — a young figure inscribed in a square and circle, surrounded by the four Ps and three Rs of the THR formation arc, with four medallion saints at the corners.

The calendar is not a list. It is a wheel.

Every year, the same six retreats. Every year, the same long weekends. Every year, the same liturgical seasons turning under the same sun.

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
— Ecclesiastes 1:9
"His mercies are new every morning."
— Lamentations 3:23

Both verses are true at the same time. The cycle repeats. The participant deepens. The sun rises every morning, and you are not the same person who watched it rise yesterday.

THR does not measure formation in novelty. We measure it in fidelity. The wheel turns. The participants walk. And by the seventh turn, something has been built that cannot be hurried.

The Four Ps
Preparing · Pondering · Pursuing · Primehood
The formation cycle. Four corners. Earth.
The Three Rs
Remembering · Renewing · Releasing
The year's unfolding. Three points around the circle. Heaven.
Seven words for the year. Seven, the biblical number of completeness.

Four ways to enter the silence.

From a first taste to full immersion — there is a format for every season, schedule and level of experience.

The HUSH arc.

Every retreat — half day, full day, overnight — moves through the same four-part arc. Here, Unhurried, Surrender, Hear. It is the rhythm of return.

"Be still, and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10

The four movements are not stages to complete — they are postures to inhabit. Each one undoes a layer of noise. By the end of the day, what remains is what was always there underneath.

H
Here I am
Arrive. Breathe. Lay down the week. Hineni — the prayer of Moses, Samuel, Mary. Here I am.
U
Unhurried, Undivided
Slow the body. Single-task the soul. The first hours are about leaving the pace of the world behind.
S
Surrender, Sit, See
Hand it over. The list, the worry, the performance. Sit with what's there. See what's underneath.
H
Hear, Hold, Hope
The still small voice. What is heard in the silence is held in the soul, and carried back into the world as hope.

What to bring. What to leave.

Pack lightly. The silence will do most of the work. Below is what we ask you to bring — and what we ask you to leave behind.

Bring with you
  • Your Bible
    Any translation. We'll be reading slowly. A physical copy is encouraged.
  • A journal & pen
    Plain, lined or blank — yours. The Spirit speaks; the hand catches.
  • Comfortable clothing
    Layers for indoor/outdoor sitting. Walking shoes for the silent walk.
  • A water bottle
    Refilled silently throughout the day at the welcome table.
  • An honest heart
    Bring whatever state you're in. Don't perform. The room makes space.
Cost is never a reason to stay home. If the price is a barrier — for any reason — write to us before you register. No applications. No questions. We will quietly take care of it.

What to leave behind

For the duration of the retreat
Your phone & smart watch — surrendered at arrival, returned at the close
Work laptops, books and reading material outside Scripture
The need to perform peace, holiness or healing on a timeline
The expectation of an answer, a vision, or a particular outcome
The version of yourself you bring to church on Sunday

Things people actually ask.

The questions we hear most often, before retreats and during. Email us anything not answered here — we read every message.

I've never done a silent retreat. Will I be okay? +

More than okay. Most of our retreatants are first-timers. Silence is not an exam — it is a return to your own breath. Your guide will set you up gently and check in as needed.

What about my phone? +

We invite you to surrender your phone for the duration. This is the hardest and most transformative part of the retreat. We provide a secure space for devices and help you prepare for it. You will be okay — more than okay.

Is this charismatic, tongues, healing-focused? +

No. Our retreats are grounded in ancient Christian contemplative practice — Scripture, silence and spiritual direction. Quiet, gentle, non-spectacular. We make room for the Holy Spirit to move as He wills, but we do not prescribe how.

I'm not sure I'm a Christian. Can I still come? +

THR is a distinctly Christian space — centred on Jesus Christ. If you are spiritually curious or on the edges of faith, you are genuinely welcome. We will not pressure you. But you should know clearly — this is a room made for encounter with the God of the Bible.

What if I panic or cry in the silence? +

Both are more common than you think. Your guide is available throughout. Silence often surfaces what we have been suppressing — that is not a malfunction. It is the healing beginning. You are safe here. Tears are welcome.

Are the retreats English-only? +

Currently yes — all guided sessions and spiritual direction are in English. We hope to offer Mandarin and Bahasa sessions in the future. Watch the calendar for updates.

Can I bring a friend? +

Yes — and we encourage it. However, once the retreat begins, you will spend most of the time in individual silence, not together. Many find that doing a retreat alongside a friend deepens the experience even without speaking. Register together and note it in your booking.

What does spiritual direction mean? +

A confidential, 30-minute conversation with a trained companion. Not therapy. Not advice-giving. A second set of ears for what God may be stirring in you. You do not need a topic; we follow what's there.
