Rebirth Breathwork

17 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 12:30:00
Sanctuary 5 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

Breathwork is one of the oldest and most powerful methods for transformation and physical well-being. Used for centuries, it helps release negative patterns and fosters deeper harmony, spiritual connection, and joy in living. It is both an art and a science – teaching breath awareness and techniques that enhance our physical, emotional, and spiritual condition.

Modern medical studies affirm that emotions are directly linked to breath. By consciously changing our breathing patterns, we can shift the chemical composition of our blood and influence our emotions and mood. Relaxing and releasing the breath dissolves tension in the body and mind, offering a sense of freedom and mastery over life.

This practice expands awareness on every level – physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. In states of heightened consciousness, memories, sensations, and emotions may surface to be seen, released, and integrated.

Breathwork offers profound outcomes: inner peace, improved health, emotional resilience, and mindful living. It supports better oxygenation, athletic performance, and is valuable for anxiety, eating issues, and habits like smoking – offering a path to healing and self-empowerment.

Handmade Chinese Medicine Sachets

16 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 11:30:00
Sanctuary 3 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

Trace the lineage of Chinese medicine sachets back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties – where these elegant pouches were used not only for their aromatic charm but also as therapeutic tools in the wisdom tradition of “clothing and crown therapy.” From poetic mentions in The Book of Songs to their emotional symbolism in Dream of the Red Chamber, sachets hold centuries of cultural and medicinal significance.

In this hands-on session, participants will explore the art of crafting herbal sachets from start to finish. You’ll learn to identify common Chinese medicinal herbs, grind them into fine powder by hand, and blend them into custom sachets – all while engaging your senses in the texture, aroma, and intention of the process.

Guided by traditional interpretations and gentle presence, each sachet becomes a vessel of healing and protection. As you stitch and scent, you’ll experience the meditative stillness of creation and the enduring beauty of plant-based wisdom – carried not only in fragrance but in spirit.
