Interview with the Young Owners of Faeries' Retreat

As Cosmic Lighthouse is based in Singapore, we have been to most of the various new age, healing or spiritual centres here. However, there is something different with a place tuck in a corner of Singapore's bustling city centre. Faeries' Retreat stands out as a very young and energetic place. As we stepped through the doors, we felt like we are entering a dream-like space where children would like to run around and play. We joined in, ran around and managed to catch up with the young ladies who run this place for a short and informal interview

1. We understand that you gals are only in your early twenties. You could perhaps be the youngest owners of a new age centre anywhere.What gave you the courage to start a centre at such a young age?

Faeries' Retreat (FR): Actually, we are in our mid-twenties! Maybe the faeries’ energies in our space have kept us looking young haha. The desire to help ourselves & others find fun & happiness in our lives definitely gave us inspiration & determination.

Cosmic Lighthouse (CL) Comments: But the girls look like they are only in their early twenties!

2. What are the other dynamics between your relationships? How are decisions made?

FR: Mainly through a democratic voting system… plus loads of emotions, opinions, debates etc. Basically, LOUDEST voice reigns!

CL: We hope they mean singing?! And we wonder who has the loudest voice?

3. What made you decide on the name "Faeries' Retreat"? Are there fairies hanging around your place literally?

FR: Yes of course! In fact, we had a lot of guidance from the faeries in starting up & running the space. Actually, faeries is the original old English spelling for these elemental beings, and by faeries, we include the faeries, elves, gnomes, pixies leprechauns & many more! Faeries are dedicated to fun & joyful love, and ‘Retreat’ was chosen specifically both as a physical space to relax & enjoy ourselves and energetically, it means ‘retreating’/going within to discover ourselves.
