FYI, in Indonesia there are 2 Catholic Congregation in full affiliation with the Carmelites which blends the Charismatic Renewal and Carmel spirituality. The Congregations are of Diocesan status.
I'll copy and paste some brief description from the Carmelite website:
http://www.ocarm.org/citoc.news/citoc2en.htm PUTRI KARMEL AND CARMELITAE SANCTI ELIAE
Short history
In our century we see the birth of many new institutions, lay as well as religious. Among them are Putri Karmel (Daughters of Carmel) and Carmelitae Sancti Eliae (CSE). Putri Karmel is a religious community of women, whereas CSE is for men. God has called them into existence through the instrumentality of a Carmelite priest, Fr. Yohanes Indrakusuma, member of the Indonesian Province. Putri Karmel was founded in 1982, in Ngadireso, a small village in the diocese of Malang, East Java, and CSE in 1986 in the same place. The two communities were flourishing and attracting many people to their place, and this caused a lot of trouble and opposition. In 1988 the CSE brothers, together with Fr. Yohanes, had to move out of Malang and they settled in Cikanyere, a small village in the diocese of Bogor, about 100 km from Jakarta, on land purchased for them by two generous benefactors. The departure was very painful, but in God�s unfathomable providence it proved to be a great blessing for the community and God�s people in West Java.
In 1992 the expansion began for Putri Karmel with a new community in the diocese of Ruteng, Flores. In 1993 a study house was purchased in Malang, in a very providential way, showing how the Lord was with them. Then in 1995 a new community was founded in Cikanyere, West Java, in the diocese of Bogor. Finally, in 1997, they founded, almost simultaneously, two new communities, one in the diocese of Medan, North Sumatra, and the other outside Indonesia, in Sabah, East Malaysia, where they were received heartily by the bishop. In this community there are five Malaysians sisters. In all these places they are all very esteemed and loved by the local bishops, by the people and in most parts also by the local clergy.
The Carmelitae Sancti Eliae is primarily a religious community, not a clerical one, even though there are some clerics among their members, but they have no priests yet. At present they have two houses (one of which is a "desert community", a purely contemplative community) and a big retreat centre (with a capacity of 252 beds) in Bogor. In Malang they have a study house and another retreat centre. Both centres are run together with Putri Karmel.
Spirituality and way of life
The two communities have the same spirituality, way of life and ministry. Fundamentally they follow the spirit of the Carmelite Rule and Traditions, accentuating the contemplative aspect, integrated with the Charismatic Renewal. From the latter they learned the openness and docility to the Holy Spirit and His gifts, especially in ministering to people. They opted for an open-contemplative way of life with a predominance on the life of prayer and contemplation. Until now their monasteries are built in solitary places. This is what they call the basic community. Beside the divine office they spend 2 hours daily in silent prayer (mediation/contemplation), one in the morning and another in the evening. For this they use preferably the lectio divina or the Jesus Prayer. Scripture reading has a prominent place in their life.
From this basic way of life spring the active-contemplative community and the desert-community. The active-contemplative community is more open to various ministries, mainly spiritual, but always in accordance with their spirit. The desert-community is a purely contemplative one, without any active ministry. Their first mission is to stand before the Lord, like Moses who prayed on the mountain while Joshua was in war with the Canaanites. Both institutions have their own desert-community. The sisters and brothers can stay there either for good or temporarily.
Ministry
Their ministry is mainly spiritual and they do by this by conducting different kinds of retreats, teaching people the way of prayer and contemplation, counselling and praying for healing, especially inner healing. Through their retreats and prayers God brought many people to conversions and to the knowledge of God. It is almost a weekly occurrence that people are being converted, even during the ordinary Sunday Eucharist. During the "initiation retreat" it is very frequent that non-practising Christians come to confession after 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years. It is really a tremendous grace and a great privilege to be allowed to witness God�s infinite merciful love in operation. That is why, especially in Cikanyere, Bogor, that for the last two years, our programs for the whole year were already fully booked in February of that year. In order to be able to participate in a retreat they have to wait a long time, not withstanding the fact, that the centre has 252 beds available and more than 20 programs a year. The retreat centre in Malang is as crowded as in Bogor, and for some retreats they even accommodate more than 400 people.
The sisters and brothers are in great demand among the people and they are invited everywhere. They travel to many places in Indonesia. These last two years they are also invited abroad to Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and even to the USA, although they minister mainly among the Indonesians abroad, except in Malaysia and Singapore.
A very interesting ministry is among the youth. Every year, during school holidays, the CSE brothers organised what they called a "Spiritual Youth Camp", a kind of retreat, for a whole week each time. There, many lives are converted and renewed. These last few years these camps attracted 2300-2800 young people each year. The Lord is pouring down abundantly his saving love among His people at the dawn of the Third Millennium.
They have "third order" for laity non-religious too.

(Komunitas Tritunggal Mahakudus)
Historical background
The Community of the Holy Trinity is a lay covenant community, founded by Putri Karmel and Carmelitae Sancti Eliae (cf. CITOC 1999, 43-44) during a retreat held on 9-11 January 1987 in Malang, Indonesia. The main idea underlying the formation of this group is to give a solid and on-going Catholic and spiritual formation for the lay people who are active and eager to know the Lord in a deeper and more intimate way.
Through Initial Retreats it was observed that many lay people had a genuine and deep conversion and an experience of God. Many of these experiences renewed their life deeply and permanently. After this conversion their life was changed totally. Through these spiritual experiences their way of life and their world-view were changed deeply. They experienced a radical shift in values, where they saw everything in a new light, the light of faith. After these retreats Jesus became a real living person for them, whereas before He was rather distant and vague. They experienced Him as their Lord and Saviour and He became the centre of their life. Many experienced a dramatic change and renewal, and not a few experienced a freedom from certain bondage. Their joy and happiness was visible on their faces and the obvious change could easily be observed. Prayer, reading and pondering the Word of God had become a real need for them. Many spent more than one hour every day in prayer and Scripture reading. They really hunger and thirst for the word of God and for a deeper knowledge of God. It is interesting to note that many of the members were formerly unchurched people.
From these observations and considerations, it was concluded that they needed a community and formation so that they could grow spiritually. For this reason, in a retreat held in January 1987, the idea was proposed to them to build a covenant community, where these people would be able to commit themselves and receive a continuous formation. To this proposal many responded enthusiastically. Thus the Community of the Holy Trinity was born. They grow steadily from day to day, in number and in maturity. A few months ago they counted about 1500 members, young and old.
Life, spirituality and apostolate
The whole life of the community is based on life in cells. The whole community is divided into cells. Several cells form an area, several areas form a district and several districts become a region, and eventually several regions will form a province. Up to the present, the community has only 2 regions.
The life of the community is focused on the cells. As the human body consists of many cells, so it is with this community. Each cell consists of 4-15 members. The life principle of the cell is growth. A healthy cell must grow and multiply. Every one has to have a missionary spirit and bring another person to the cell, so that the number of people in the cell grows continually and when they reach 15, they have to be divided into two new cells, thus each cell remains small and can preserve personal relationships and intimacy among the members.
The cell is led by a cell-servant and assisted by an assistant cell-servant, chosen from the cell. The word servant is used for the leader in order to remind them that to be a leader is to serve. These cell servants have to undergo training for several weeks in order to enable them to lead their cells and after that they still receive on-going formation. When a cell has grown into two new cells, the assistant becomes the new cell-servant. Normally each cell meets twice a month, but there are cells which meet every week. During the cell meetings they praise and worship the Lord with songs and prayer; they share reflections on a passage of Scripture, chosen beforehand, and they share their daily experiences in the light of faith. After that they pray for each other according to individual needs, and during the week they pray for each other through special intentions. In this way a Christian brotherhood is formed. Beside cell meetings, they also hold an area meeting regularly, usually for instruction.
Each member has to make a gradual commitment. First, every member has to dedicate at least an hour a day for prayer and Scripture reading, attend at least one Eucharist during the week, and confess regularly. People are incorporated gradually into the community. They have to undergo a program of formation and stay a certain length of time in order to be able to graduate from one stage to the next. This formation is given in the spirit and in line with the rich heritage of Carmel.
The members of the community come from very different backgrounds: young and old, simple and very educated people, doctors, lawyers, business-men, simple working people, and members of the armed forces. There are also students' cells, which are flourishing. The cells are spreading over several cities in Indonesia and several cells are establishing themselves in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, but until now only among Indonesian migrants.
The community is open to whatever needs there are in the Church. However, priority is given to the formation of its members. For the time being much time and energy is spent on this formation, thus, as a community, they don't have any specific outside project. But these communities form their members in such a way that they become the salt of their respective parishes and work and minister to the people around them in union with their pastors. Many of the members have prominent and important positions in the parish. Until the present, besides ministering to each other in the community, they care for the sick and the lonely, helping the poor, ministering among the prisoners.
