About this Event
Would you like to meet purpose-driven individuals in the innovation, startup and impact community? And explore nature together while having fun, meaningful conversations?
Join us for a journey along Singapore's Southern Ridges that takes us from relaxing forest immersion to yummy food at the Harbourfront. Starting at Kent Ridge Park, we will experience a blend of nature and history. We will traverse the Canopy Walk and descend to botanical oasis featuring themed gardens and tranquil ponds, perfect for a peaceful interlude. After a short break, we will venture Henderson Waves, enjoying the harmony of nature and architecture. As we reach the summit of Mt Faber, we will soak in panoramic city views before leisurely descending via the Marang Trail, reveling in the serene beauty of Singapore's southern coastline. The walk will end at the foot of Mt Faber, where you are invited to lunch together with us and your newfound friends at Seah Imm Market.
All proceeds from this walk go to The Safe Space Foundation
Is the trail challenging?
It's easy to moderate trail that takes roughly 3 hours. The walking surfaces are mostly nicely paved. The challenge is walking stamina for around 8km with some stairs, not to worry we take a rather leisurely pace.
Why walk/hike?
The physical activity of moving forward (especially in a natural environment) as we talk helps us open our minds and break thinking patterns. It allows fluidity for people to move around, provides environmental stimulus to ignite our sense of wonder and allows time for people to be present for each other in the journey.
And the positive impact amplifies..
Beyond connecting individuals, we hope to raise awareness and money for a meaningful cause. For this exploration, ticket proceeds will go fully to The Safe Space Foundation, you can also donate your preferred amount directly (campaign link will be provided shortly). Participants will be updated on the total raised at the event.
What to bring: Water, Raincoat/Umbrella and Insect Repellant. You're also encouraged to bring curiousity, inclusivity and kindness :)
Attire: Comfortable wear for long distance walking
Note: Only limited tickets are available to keep group size manageable. You are welcome to invite family members or friends and sign up for them too.
Organisers:
This walk is co-organised by Hui Hong and The Safe Space Foundation, as part of a fundraiser campaign to support The Safe Space Foundation. Hui Hong has much of her life exploring ways to apply innovation and an entrepreneurial approach for problems worth solving across varied contexts. She aspires to develop a community of purpose driven individuals who can support each other in their journeys.
The Safe Space Foundation is dedicated to providing accessible and inclusive mental health support to underserved communities of women, youth, persons with disabilities and their caregivers. We aim to empower individuals, promote mental well-being, and foster a supportive community that champions mental health awareness and education. We do so by offering high-quality counselling, engaging webinars, transformative workshops, invaluable peer support groups, professional social work assistance, and providing a comprehensive range of services to address the mental health needs of the underserved population. Through such programs, partnerships, and community-driven initiatives, we strive to break down barriers to mental health care, ensuring no one walks alone in their mental health journey by having the resources they need to thrive. Together, we work towards a future where mental health support is a fundamental right for all.
If you wish to The Safe Space Foundation directly, please feel free to email [email protected] for details and I will manually create a ticket for you! If you are interested in co-organising future events/walks, feel free to drop me a message too! :)
