Healing Hand with Mandala

17 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Sanctuary 2 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

This heart-centered session invites participants to experience art as a healing modality for both personal and collective well-being. The journey begins with Reiki healing in small groups, offering space to receive energetic support, grounding, and a sense of inner calm.

Following the energy work, each participant is guided to create a mandala, an intuitive visual expression of the blessings, insights, and gifts received throughout the retreat. These mandalas serve as symbolic affirmations for one’s present state and future path, anchoring intention and inspiration.

Once completed, the mandalas are placed around a bigger healing group circle, forming a circle of collective resonance and positive energy. The session culminates in a brief, reflective group sharing, where each cluster offers insight into the meaning behind their mandala.

This experience weaves energy healing, creative expression, and community reflection into a deeply integrative practice of self-awareness and renewal.

Sanctuary 2 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

Step into a space of stillness and creativity with Mindful Weaves, a 1-hour guided workshop designed to help you reconnect with the present moment through the tactile, meditative art of paper weaving. Using A5 cardstock and a curated selection of upcycled and existing paper strips, you’ll explore the calming rhythm of weaving – an act of turning individual fragments into a unified whole.

Choose colors that reflect your emotional state, follow traditional patterns, or allow your intuition to guide you into uncharted forms. This process invites deep focus, emotional expression, and quiet reflection as you create a tangible representation of your thoughts and feelings one that is both personal and beautiful.

As you relax into the flow of crafting, you’ll experience the essence of we-being: the quiet harmony of parts coming together. No prior artistic experience is needed, just your presence and willingness to explore. Leave with a woven piece of art and a renewed sense of calm, clarity, and creative connection.

Art Therapy – Colours of Inner Harmony: A Five-Element Journey through Body, Emotion & Expression

17 Sep 2025, 16:30:00 - 18:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Sanctuary 2 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

An experiential journey through body, emotion & expression facilitated by Jeanette Chan (Integrative Arts Therapist) & Brandon Yew (Senior TCM Physician)
In the stillness of the Pause, we begin to hear what the body has been holding.
Colours of Inner Harmony invites you to gently explore your internal landscape through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and expressive art therapy. Guided by experienced facilitators Jeanette and Brandon, this 90-minute session supports you in reconnecting with yourself – physically, emotionally, and energetically.
You’ll begin with a body scan and elemental awareness practice rooted in the Five Elements, helping you identify areas of dis-ease, tension, or stored emotion. Through colour-based art-making, you’ll then translate these inner sensations into symbolic form – no art experience required. Finally, simple somatic techniques like breathwork, meridian tapping, and reflection will guide you back into balance.
This workshop is both restorative and revealing. Take a moment to pause, listen, and align with what truly matters within. You’ll leave with a visual reflection of your inner state, greater clarity, and a tangible reminder of your personal harmony.

Glow Within – Light for Inner Calm

18 Sep 2025, 10:30:00 - 11:30:00 (GMT+8:00)
Sanctuary 2 (Level 3 Suntec Convention Centre)

Step away from the noise and into a space of quiet reflection in Glow Within – a calming, hands-on workshop where you’ll create your own glowing paper night light using interlinked, pre-cut four-petal flower templates.

Rooted in mindfulness and sustainability, this 1-hour experience invites you to be fully present as you gently shape surplus paper stock into a delicate, sculptural lampshade. With each petal you assemble, you’ll be invited to slow down, breathe, and translate your thoughts and emotions into form. The repetitive, meditative act of linking shapes into a whole becomes a personal ritual – an expression of light rising from stillness.

Whether you follow a pattern or let your intuition lead, the result is both a meaningful creation and a symbol of emotional resilience. As the final step, light up your piece and take home more than a night light: carry with you a sense of calm, focus, and the quiet power of making something beautiful with your own hands.
