WE ARE CLOSED FROM 30 APRIL TO 2 MAY. HAVE A FULFILLING WEEK.
Each of these ladybird tiles are laid on ground on which senseless violence such as deadly crimes have taken place. It’s a ground-up initiative on peace. I saw this one in Amsterdam. The invisible past can get lost in the busy-ness of the days. So I appreciate this initiative to...
This was a memorable session for me as I had the opportunity to share about the heart-centred events I had organised for the Columbia Alumni Club in Singapore with leaders of other Columbia alumni clubs across Asia. It was also memorable because of the powerful participant storytelling and images that...
In 2017, I was Guest-of-Honour at the National Day celebrations of my alma mater, Raffles Girls' School. This was my speech to the 13 to 16 year olds. I didn’t know about my heart, love, service or joy when I was their age. So it was special for me to...
In my early days as a workshop facilitator, I used to run workshops for youth at times. I walked into a class in a school (which was known to have academically challenged students) once and there was mayhem. One student made a lewd gesture at me. Others had turned their...

Crossing the road in crowded parts of Bali is no small feat. Private car drivers sometimes need to help travellers like me cross the road. When they cross the road, the traffic just stops. “They won’t hit you”, my driver tells me. But that’s hard to remember when you see non-stop...
It was her way of being that felt different. There was a quietness, warmth, compassion, depth and wisdom. I felt my heart activated in her class in grad school. I was joining this class from another school from campus so I didn’t know anyone. Yet I always felt safe, comfortable...
My higher purpose friends are some of the greatest jewels in my life. They are my close experience of goodness in the world; we enjoy mutual support; we keep each other on a higher, deeper path. Some have expressed to me great difficulty in drawing in such friends. "Where do...
