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. :)

Experience Van Gogh's bold brushstrokes and striking colours in this magical and fun multi-sensorial exhibition.

Where you will find yourself immersed in a whole new world, living inside a painting. Or being part of his famous artworks - Starry Night, Irises and Series of Sunflowers.

Tips for a more enjoyable experience:

📌 Get advance tickets, book the earliest timeslot to avoid crowd.
📌 Avoid weekend if your time permits.
📌 Wear comfortable outfit.
📌 Avoid dark colour outfit for better pictures.
📌 Chope a good spot (or wait for one) and spend more time (atleast 20mins!) in the main hall for the best immersive experience.
📌 Take your time, dont rush through the exhibiton, it's not a race. 😎 (90mins would be ideal).

Follow for more ideas on your next trip to Singapore!

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 ❤

Simply appreciate being here.

May all be well ❤

On National Day, I joined the Dover Forest tour conducted by , a glimpse into the sad fate of the Dover Forest East.

The Forest will be cleared in late 2022 for building of public housing. :(

The animals and plants will lose their forest homes, making way for our concrete homes. 😥

Among them, the resident Changable hawk-eagle will no longer be able to find the tree where they are currently nesting. The same fate remains for the Oriental pied hornbill family which had a nest in close proximity.

The clusters of bioluminescent mushrooms reported by the Guardian (Australia), photographed growing on the durian/ficus tree earlier this year, will also be lost.

A petition with 50,000 signatures did not help to save Dover Forest East.

Is there more we can do?

Before its too late?

Connect with for a tour at the Dover Forest East to hear more about the fragile forest.

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.

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

Aquarium therapy - the calming effect from observing fishes swiming in an aquarium. It quiets our mind. Then came the Baby Shark tune which rings in my mind and made me smile.☺️ May we all be as happy as a fish in water.🐟 #ajoyouswalk #joyofnoticing #babyshark #seaaquarium #singapore #aquariumtherapy #whitetipshark #calm

Encounter with the Johor Fig Tree While roaming around the Botanic Gardens, I found myself attracted to this gentle giant at the entrance of the rainforest. I reached out both my hands and hold on to one of its thinner trunk. Almost immediately, I felt a warm gush of soreness fills my heart. Is this a hug? Am I dreaming? "Explore!!" the message rings in my head, she spoke to me. I can't help but smiled to myself, it was something I needed to hear. Past week has been particularly tough, but I will soldier on. ❤️ Thank you for the hug and nudge.🙏 If you come across this post, it is probably meant for you too. Please be well, stand tall and wait for better days to come. You are worth it. #treeteacher #ilovetrees #ajoyouswalk

Fluttering and gone in a few blinks. The joy of noticing. Do whatever makes you happy. The days may not be coming back. #一期一会 #carpediem #dowhatever #ajoyouswalk #joyofnoticing #fortcanningpark #butterflies #singapore #cityinnature
