The Spiritual Retreat society aims at fostering a community where people feel comfortable exploring facets of their spirituality, meet like-minded people, become curious about others’ beliefs and gain more in-depth understanding of some more-or-less mainstream spirituality concepts they find interesting.
We want to create an open and safe space where people with varying beliefs can have discussions around spirituality and learn about different practices to improve our holistic wellbeing.
We welcome everyone from different backgrounds, beliefs and walks of life! You don’t need to have prior knowledge of the things mentioned. Even in our committee, we all have different beliefs and levels of expertise. Having fun learning together and from each other is our main goal!
What you can expect (events and communications):
We run one activity every other week, and one fornight social activity!
- We organise activities such as workshops, group discussions, interactive activities and socials. These concern things such as: astrology and horoscopes, crystals and energy healing, manifestation, moon rituals, and others.
- We are very open to events suggestions from our members (dm or email us)
- Additionally, if you have an area of expertise that you’d like to do a workshop around, we are more than happy to support that, where possible (dm or email us)
