The Big Sit x Guoco Tower
Details
"Are you able to come to a stop in your life, even for one moment? Could it be this moment? What would happen if you did?"
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
In a world that never stops, where external noise rages on and internal voices are amplified, what better way to carry on than to create a space for us all to simply sit and be in moments of stillness and silence?
Who We Are
The Big Sit is an ongoing community project focusing on the use of urban spaces for mindfulness practice and intentional activity that fosters mental and social health.
How We Began
The Big Sit was initiated over the 2020 pandemic as a way for people to meet and connect in a different way.
The first Big Sit was held on Mindfulness Day, 12 September 2020, at Guoco Tower in Singapore. The space, located in the middle of the city's Central Business District, offered the public accessibility to mindfulness practice and a more intentional way of being.
About The Event
- Anyone with or without mindfulness / meditation experience is welcome to join.
- Each session lasts 45-60 minutes, and will be led by an experienced mindfulness meditation teacher.
- Each session will usually begin with mindful walking and movements, following by a sitting meditation.
- Please come dressed in comfortable clothes, drinking water, and bring your own yoga mat / towel to sit on.
- Participants are encouraged to arrive 5-10 minutes earlier to set up your space.
- Spaces will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, with paid/donation tickets given front seating nearer to the teacher.
- Each session will also be streamed online via the Insight Timer app.
- This is a community initiative. Collections from paid and donation tickets will go to The Big Sit to cover any administrative or miscellaneous costs in reaching out to communities and furthering the advocacy of urban wellbeing and social health.
- Last but not least, you are encouraged to add this event to your calendar.
