A Joyous Walk

We curates joyful experiences cultivating mindfulness and wellness for our mind, body and spirit.

Living and working in city settings can sometimes be an overwhelming affair, especially away from nature and greenery. Urban environments tends to be noisy and busy which can led to sensory overstimulation, resulting in growing restlessness, feeling of fatigue or losing zest for life. Research shows that people relax best while seeing greens and blues, spending time in nature can help improve our

mental health and emotional wellbeing. Nature can generate many positive emotions such as calm and peace, which help us in reducing feelings of anxiety or depression, lowering our stress hormones. ajoyouswalk offers a range of outdoor explorations embracing mindfulness and sense of well being for our mind, body and soul. The nature-based experiences includes walks and invitations, immersing ourselves in the sights, sounds, smells and textures of the natural landscape. Sign up now and join us for treats for the senses in nature, and discover how we can reconnect with nature. Venturing into the green spaces, near the blue waters, under the canopies of gentle giants and let nature be our guide and inspiration.

“Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.”
- John Lennon

Was standing and looking at the luckynut tree when a flower dropped on my head.

Held a brunch of them in my hands and inhaled..

What a sweet scent!

Did you notice anything which brings you joy today?

🌿Hidden Life of the Casuarina Trees

Casuarina Trees has always been special to me. I remembered my first encounter with them at the East Coast Park, I was admiring it for a long long time.

It must be a happy tree, the leaves were dancing in the wind. And they looked like green feathers from afar. The canopy was a cone shape which reminded me of a Christmas tree.🌲

The association with the jolly season kindled a warm fuzzy feeling in me.

This is a tree of celebrations! 🎊😃

I can't wait to meet them again on Coney Island, thousands of them.

Join us for our first walk to understand more about the Casaurina trees and Coney Island.

May the magic and wonder be with you too!✨️

Cannonball Tree Flower

Brunching from the trunk, the brightly coloured flowers of the Cannonball tree are large, waxy and measuring 12cm across! If you look at them closely, you will also see the folded lip with bristle-like stamens.

Feeling blessed. ❤

Have the flowers not brunch from the lower part of the trunk, I would not have had the chance to admire them this close. ☺️

Do comment if you have seen them blooming in your neighbourhood. :)

Everyone has their own path.
It's not a competition.
Each flower blooms in its own time.
So will we. ❤

I came from Turkey in
pink, yellow, violet, red,
orange and white.
I bloom in this sphere of
perpetual spring,
Just until the roses comes.
I am a sea of brightly-coloured bulbs,
You may not see again,
after the month of May.

Don't miss me.

Appreciate the earthy scent after a rain shower, and don't forget to smell the flowers.

A flower has no time to waste;
Her soul stems from self-love.
- Angie Weiland-Crosby

Please leave me a comment if you are able to ID the flower. :)

📌 Get advance tickets, book the earliest timeslot to avoid crowd.

Golden Dewdrop (Duranta erecta 'variegata')

More purple flowers! 😍

Commonly found in our parks and gardens, this lush evergreen shrub with pretty lavender flowers is often used as boundary hedges or topiary in gardens.

The lavender flowers in tight clusters bloom almost the whole year long, especially in full sun. When in full bloom, many species of butterflies 🦋 can be spotted attracted to the flowers to feed.

Do keep a lookout for the purple bloom and butterflies the next time when you are out in nature.🙂

Peace and blessings to all ❤

Thunbergia grandiflora (Blue Trumpet Vine)

While walking along Princep Street, I noticed the evergreen twining vine.
The foliage enveloped the green trellises with sprouting purple blooms, what a joy to admire.🥰

Simply appreciate being here.

Sending the flower blessings to all.
May all be well ❤

Every forestbathing experience is different, journeying into our inner forest. Not only did we bond with nature, with ourselves but also with everyone in presence. Celebrating nature at the end of the session was most profound. We were immersed in a sound bath, shared poems, blooms, and words of gratitude, grateful for the bountiful gifts nature has offered.❤️ I felt it wholeheartedly. 🙏 Thank you everybody, who took time out of their leisure weekend, to partake in this nature immersion. It's great joy experiencing this together. What are you most thankful for today? #blessed #selfcare #thankful #forestbathing #botanicgardens #nature #trees #natureimmersion #ajoyouswalk #Singapore

In nature, there's always something new. 🌿 What are you noticing today? #happyplace #selfcare #blessed #forestbathing #nature #natureimmersion #singapore #exploresingapore #greenery #fortcanningpark #hortpark #ajoyouswalk

Spending self care time at a happy place close to home. What is self love? I used to think self love is fulfilling my craving for food, buying all the things I love. Is that so? Self love can be as simple as self acceptance. Accepting that I am perfect, and accepting that I am not so perfect. And I do make mistakes, but it is ok. I am imperfect, but I felt I slayed it all, because, I❤️me. What is the message to your imperfect self today? #ajoyouswalk #selfcare #selflove #slayed #nature #singapore
