SUMMARY:Sugar & Spice Festival 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Sugar and Spice Festival aims to change the belief that people raised in traditional societies are unable to express themselves when it comes to sex – what are their preferences and attitudes. Perhaps it is their conservative upbringing or the fact that sex has often been a taboo topic not to be spoken of at home. Our aim is to impart positive messages and learning around sex\, sexuality and sexual wellness. We want to empower participants to listen\, learn and find wellness. \nThroughout this festival we will work to change the mindset of participants\, freeing them from any cultural norms that have resulted in low sexual self-esteem and a fear of enjoying the pleasures of sex. We aim to fill the gaps in the lack of sexual education and positive role models when it comes to sexuality. \nThe online nature of our Festival lets participants from all over the world connect with others who may have a similar upbringing. To ensure that the sessions are dynamic and interactive\, speakers and facilitators are all experts in their field. The Festival programme includes a range of talks\, workshops\, guided meditations\, dances\, breathwork and yoga. \n\n  \nOur founder\, Melissa Fann\, will be presenting a workshop entiteld “Reframing Our Body Image” on the 4th August 2020 at 7pm (Singapore Time). Through this workshop\, you’ll find out how to reframe some negative thoughts that you have about yourself and gain clarity to rediscover your authentic identity. \nLearn how your perception of your body may not necessarily be the truth and how to embrace your flaws while taking steps to improve them while still loving the whole you. \nInteractive workshop. There will be breakout sessions where attendees will need to be honest but also giving loving feedback to each other. \n\nImages: Sugar & Spice  \nVideo: The Wellness Insider

SUMMARY:Singapore’s First Online Conference on Holistic Preconception & Fertility Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Want a safe\, open sharing and learning environment to find out more about a holistic and natural approach towards fertility? The Precious Plan 2019\, Singapore’s first online conference about holistic preconception and fertility wellness has been announced by Hearty Mums\, a movement founded on the belief that hearty and fulfilled Mums will raise hearty and resilient kids who will\, in turn\, make our world into a happy\, hearty place. \n \nThe Precious Plan aims to raise awareness of holistic natural ways to take care of the mind and body during preconception and improve fertility. There will be a week-long series of interviews with Singapore’s preconception & fertility experts culminating with a panel discussion. \nWhile prenatal and postnatal care is widely represented\, fertility care remains a taboo topic in Singapore. Most fertility support focuses on resolving infertility with technology and medications\, leading many women to go directly for treatments\, and being inadequately informed of how to prepare themselves physically and mentally for an enjoyable conception journey and pregnancy. Every emotion during this period\, whether with fertility issues or not\, can affect the pregnancy and development of the child. \nThrough The Precious Plan\, the organiser hopes to encourage more open conversations around natural conception and fertility in Singapore\, so women are better informed of how to prepare themselves for a healthy and happy conception journey\, and the important factors that can affect their future pregnancy and their future baby. \nThe brainchild of Sofie Hon\, a mother of 2 girls\, The Precious Plan is Sofie’s wish to empower women to create the best start for their babies\, starting right from preconception. Inspired by her own journey of becoming a mother and her experience coaching other Mums in the last three years\, Sofie saw a great opportunity to build a community for mutual support\, to equip women with the right tools\, knowledge\, and most importantly the emotional support while going through the journey and beyond\, juggling family and career. \nThe Precious Plan is happening on 12 – 16 November 2019 and is free. To find out more about the speakers and sign up for the event\, do visit ​www.heartymums.com/precious-plan​ or ​www.facebook.com/heartymums \n\nPhotos: Hearty Mums \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Love & Light Festival Returns For a Second Year
DESCRIPTION:After it’s inaugural run last year\, the Love & Light Festival is back at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention. Organised by Laughing Soul\, the festival is set to bring an even more comprehensive line-up of “lightworkers”\, exhibitors and retailers to provide guidance and support for festival goers on a journey of self-discovery of the mind\, body and soul. What’s different this year is that the festival will run twice this year – the first one taking place from 10 to 12 May and the second run happening from 29 November to 1 December. Admission to both is free. \n \nExplore\, discover and awaken\nFind deeper meaning to one’s life and purpose through this festival as you meet practitioners who may shed light to your questions of restlessness; help clear and cleanse negative energy or emotions while you go on a self-healing journey with cards or crystals reading. Converse with likeminded individuals or curious seekers who are searching for ways to be the best of themselves and bring positivity to others. \n \nAt last year’s Love & Light Festival \n  \n“My goal is to connect people through Love & Light Festival\, to allow them to see the love and light within us\, and spread that to every soul we touch – be it family\, friends\, colleagues or even acquaintances. To be honest\, the first step itself is already not an easy feat. Life is never a bed of roses and it is downright challenging at times\, with all the chaos and struggles to just keep up. What we want to do is provide the platform and the environment for people to pause (for some healing)\, to take stock (review and reflect) and to get clarity through the guidance provided in the festival. This will hopefully help them discover that spark within so that peace and serenity can be realised\,” said Ms Ng Hui Ling\, founder of Laughing Soul and the organiser of Love & Light Festival. \nThe lightworkers\n  \n \nFirst time participants of Love & Light Festival this year include renowned stone master Graham Cox from England\, who has been practicing since he was 14 years old. He is the founder of Stones Journey and will be sharing on the various types of crystals and their benefits\, alongside Justin Saw and Eugene Leong of The Crystal Alley\, who will read your oracle cards and aura to bring clarity of the chakra one possesses. \nBack from last year are Jasmine Miller\, who uses insights and visions to take you on a personal spiritual discovery journey; be captivated by Australian artist Angela Millar whose art pieces are created to bring serenity to your soul. The trio from YIS of Light\, Tung Ya Ning\, Iris Leng and Samuel Soon\, will guide you on the spiritual path to discover your Divine Self. Raine of Light’s Lorraine Low has returned to channel higher guidance\, clarity and healing to those in need. Warrior of Light’s Lynn Loke\, who identifies as a clairvoyant light warrior\, is is a healer and also a certified body therapist. \nAll of the above services are aimed at healing the mind\, cleansing the soul and soothing the emotions. \nServices available at the Love & Light Festival 2019 include: \n\nAngel card reading\nChannelling\nCrystal healing\nCrystal reading\nEnergy healing\nGroup meditatin\nOracle card reading\nSale of crystals and art pieces\nSound healing\nTarot card reading\n\nAdmission is free for all. \n\n\n\nDates:\n10-12 May 2019\n\n\nTime:\n11am – 8pm\n\n\nVenue:\nMelati Room (Level 4)\nMarina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre\n\n\n\nFor more information and updates on Love & Light Festival\, do follow them on their social media: \n\n\n\nWebsite:\nwww.loveandlightfestival.com\n\n\nFacebook:\nwww.facebook.com/LoveandLightFestival\n\n\nInstagram:\nwww.instagram.com/loveandlightsg\n\n\nOfficial hashtag:\n#loveandlightsg\n\n\n\n\nPhotos: Love & Light Festival \n

Parents also shy away from sex education as they themselves lack clarity on concepts & feel ill equipped to tackle questions. \nSex education is not just about sex. It is a wide term and even kids as young as 2 need sex education! \nWell\, attend UnTaboo’s highly enlightening\, interactive\, impactful & fun session! \nBREAK THE WALL OF SILENCE \nTo know & to understand: \n\nWhat all does Sex Education cover\nWhen & how to start having these conversations\nWho should have this conversation with the kids\nHow much is enough\nThe impact: positive & negative of having or not having this conversation.\nHow to answer the awkward questions kids ask\nHow to create an open relationship with kids & teens\nHow to become an askable parent\n\nBut it doesn’t just end there. \n\nThe talk helps you get over your inhibitions\nEnables understanding on various sex-ed related topics including gender\, sexuality\, & more\nIt empowers you to naturally talk to children & create a closer bond with them\n\nThis session is designed to break down walls\, understand concepts\, enable open conversations\, make awkward subjects not so awkward\, and put a parent on the path of becoming an askable parent.

It’s an extremely impactful talk and she makes it super interactive and fun!” – Aneesha Patel\, Indore \n “The talk conducted by Anju Kish was able to bring clarity in the minds of teachers and parents and dispel a lot of myths.
