Over 25 Young Adults (YAs) and two Sai Spiritual Education Group 4 children from SSSIO Hong Kong participated in a retreat titled ‘Reconnect & Rejoice – a Re-Treat with Sai in Nature’ on June 9-10, 2024. The retreat focused on fun, interactive sharing, and spiritual and nature activities to help participants reconnect with each other, nature, themselves, and Sai, with activities like guided meditation, chanting, discussion on nature and spirituality, and activities in nature.

On the second day, the attendees participated in a nature walk to experience its beauty and an invigorating bhajan session. These were followed by a discussion on their spiritual journeys and how the YA program had strengthened their connection to Sai. The retreat concluded with a workshop on happiness, emphasizing how it was a choice and how happiness in the external world reflects happiness within. Finally, the participants creatively expressed their takeaway messages from the workshop through bhajan lyrics.
