This project explores how a decolonized retreat environment can serve as a space of healing and reimagining faith for Asian American Christians seeking an authentic and liberative spirituality. Using a Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR) framework, a seven-session retreat integrated embodied practices, ancestral storytelling, cultural rituals, and contemplative witnessing. Participants named colonial wounds, reconnected with ancestral wisdom, and envisioned new ways of belonging to God and community. The retreat fostered movement from internalized shame toward cultural affirmation and prophetic imagination, offering a model for decolonized Christian formation that nurtures embodied, communal, intergenerational, and contextual expressions of faith.
