2026 Cruise Retreat in the Caribbean
Karmic Cleansing • Spiritual Growth • Global Blessings
A 7-Day Cruise Retreat with Master Chunyi Lin & the Tibetan Monks
January 24–31, 2026 | Caribbean Sea | Departing from Miami, Florida (USA)
In-Person Only
Why the Sea? Why This Retreat?
Water holds memory. Water amplifies intention.
As we sail through the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, every chant, meditation, and blessing becomes magnified by the sacred, purifying element that surrounds us. The ocean itself becomes a partner in your healing—a vast amplifier for clearing karma and accelerating spiritual growth.
This retreat offers more than a change of scenery. It’s a focused, small-group experience designed for deep transformation. Away from the noise of everyday life, you’ll be immersed in presence, purpose, and peace.
There is no livestream. Only the power of being fully present—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience sacred practice face-to-face and heart-to-heart.
Retreat Highlights
2-Day Special Workshop on the Sea
On sea days, enjoy an intimate workshop with Master Chunyi Lin, where you’ll learn advanced Spring Forest Qigong practices and receive personal guidance to elevate your energy and deepen your connection to the Universe.
✨ Bonus: All workshop sessions will be recorded and made available in your Spring Forest Qigong Digital Library (“My Universe”) for lifelong access.
Daily Blessing & Chanting Ceremonies
Each day, Master Lin and the Monks will lead sacred chanting to cleanse past karmas, deepen spiritual growth, and raise the vibration of your life and loved ones. These are deeply immersive and healing sessions you won’t find anywhere else.
Join Master Lin and the Monks for 7 Days of Fun and Connection
Beyond the spiritual practices, you’ll experience the joy of being together in a heart-centered community—dining, dancing, swimming, shows, and laughter under the stars. Share the magic with family and friends!

Expressions from Past Retreats
“The Best Money I Ever Spent”
The cruise retreat with you and the monks was life-changing. I took the opportunity to submit a health request for a blessing, and the results were nothing short of miraculous.
I’ve lived with neuropathy for as long as I can remember. At its worst, I needed 14 pills a day just to get through. But after the blessing, the burning, pins, and needles were instantly gone. Just gone. I still have some foot pain, but the most intense symptoms—especially the nightly ankle pain that kept me awake—have almost completely disappeared.
It was truly the best money I have ever spent. Words can’t fully express my gratitude. Please extend my deepest thanks to the monks as well.*
— A Grateful Cruise Retreat Participant
The intimacy of the group made this retreat incredibly special.
“There was something so comforting about being with a smaller group of people all there for the same purpose—to grow spiritually and to heal. We laughed, we cried, we supported each other, and we left with new lifelong friendships. The energy was beautiful.”
“Every moment felt blessed.”
From the morning meditations to the chanting ceremonies with Master Lin and the monks, this retreat helped me connect more deeply with my purpose and clear heavy energy I’d been carrying. Even the ocean itself felt like it was holding and supporting our healing.
A Transformative Experience of Healing
and Connection at Sea
“One morning, during the meditation for transforming negative karma, something extraordinary happened.
I felt a profound connection—to my loved ones, to those who have passed, to future generations, and to the universe itself. My heart overflowed with gratitude, joy, and a deep humility. I cried tears of release and recognition, knowing I was part of something much greater—a field of healing energy that embraced mountains, oceans, stars, and all living beings.
During the practice, I experienced sharp pain in my spine. At first, I was frightened. But then I remembered Master Lin’s story from Born A Healer, and I knew: I am safe. Healing is happening. I surrendered to the energy, and the pain dissolved. In its place came peace—and the certainty that not only I, but also my loved ones, were being healed.”
— A Grateful Participant
“This was more than a vacation—it was a spiritual rebirth.”
Being in the presence of Master Lin and the monks, surrounded by the sacred energy of the sea, opened something inside me I didn’t even know was blocked. I released old karmic patterns and found peace where I’d been holding pain for years. I am so grateful.
— A Grateful Participant
“I didn’t expect to feel this different after just one week.”
I came hoping for rest and healing—and I left with a renewed sense of joy and clarity. The practices, the group, the ocean—it all worked together to help me let go of the past and step into something new. I am forever changed.
