Wellness Festival Singapore 2022 Activities 🧘

Stay Safe!

While you're out enjoying all that Singapore has to offer, remember to observe good hygiene measures. Stay safe!

With so much going in in the world these days, it is not surprising that people are getting more mindful about their well-being and actively looking out for different health and wellness activities to engage themselves with. Fun fact: this trend is still on the rise and the global wellness industry is worth approximately USD 4.4 trillion in 2022!

It’s no secret that Singapore is also positioning itself as an urban wellness haven. Organised by Singapore Tourism Board, the Wellness Festival Singapore (WFS) is a 10-day line-up of virtual and physical wellness activities and experiences that promotes holistic wellbeing, including spin, fitness, and even taichi classes. Here’s a list of wellness activities to check out in Changi Precinct.

1. Art Therapy for a Good Cause

Try your hand at batik painting, one of the many therapeutic art forms that stimulates the creative mind while relieving mental strain. While doing that, you get to interact with special needs youths from Arts@Metta, an initiative by Metta Welfare Association to provide graduates from Metta School access to training and employment opportunities.

Besides bringing home your creation from this hands-on batik painting experience, you will also be creating awareness and promoting inclusivity for the youths. What’s more, 100% of the proceeds will go to Metta Welfare Association to support their work.

Dates: 4 and 11 June 2022 (4:00pm to 5:30pm)
Venue: Hub & Spoke, Terminal 2
Cost: S$35 for one pax, S$65 per pair, S$120 for four pax

2. Yoga Nidra

Led by Youmin, Singapore's pioneer "Daring to Rest" yoga nidra facilitator, this yoga session will be conducted through wireless headsets at Changi Airport's Hub & Spoke, where participants will go through a restful sleep meditation session with audio insulation and freedom. Fret not if you’re not as flexible as you’d like to be as there are no yoga poses involved! By simply lying in the shavasana pose, the 45-minute yoga nidra session will feel like a 3-hour nap, allowing you to feel refreshed and rejuvenated after the session.

Dates: 5 June (3.00pm - 4.00pm) & 11 June (11.00am - 12.00pm) 2022

3. Forest Bathing

Specially curated for the luscious Shiseido Forest Valley, this is the first-ever indoor forest bathing experience. Forest bathing is a way to effortlessly slow down, rest and attend to all the richness of the earth hidden beneath our busy day-to-day lives. It is the act of connecting to nature and everything around us, and in the process, reconnecting with the inner self. By getting in touch with nature again, you will experience a greater sense of awe, pleasure and belonging. Not only does it help improve mental health, it will also gives you a much-needed emotional uplifting.

Date: 12 June 2022 (8.00am - 10.00am)
