Every participants will have a mission to complete to win prize. First, participants will be split into different tables with 2 ladies and 4 gentlemen per table.

Participants can decide whether they want to play the icebreaker games which we have provided or just chit chat or do all. It is flexible and up to participants to decide.
Once the allocated time (around 15 to 20 min) is up which you will know when the organiser rings a bell across every table, it will mean that it is time for rotation. How you will be rotated will be mentioned on the piece of paper which you will receive on the actual day. For each round of rotation, usually 1 lady and 1 gentleman in the table will remain in their seats while the rest in the same table will move to another table based on what is mentioned on the piece of paper which they receive. This will then repeat for every rotation.
However, for the last 2 rounds of rotation which will be announced by organisers, it will be totally free and easy. This means that everyone in the event can move to any table of their choice as long as the table is not fully occupied.
Our team will also guide you on the rotation to meet different people during the actual event.

LSC walk in support of Pack2Treat
🌿 Adventure Unlimited Live Share Care (LSC) Walk – Pack2Treat Support Event 🌿
Join us for a meaningful morning of connection, care, and gentle movement in support of Pack2Treat.
We begin our Live Share Care Walk from **Katong Park MRT (Exit 1)**, stepping out into the soft coastal air where the east coast breeze meets early morning light. The route carries us through a refreshing blend of sea-side calm, park connectors, and river-side paths, where city noise slowly fades into rustling trees, open skies, and the rhythm of shared footsteps.
[Pls note TEL late opening at 8.30am.]
This is not just a walk — it is a journey through Singapore’s everyday beauty, from coastal neighbourhoods into the heart of our river corridors, ending at Geylang Bahru Market.
At Geylang Bahru, we come together for a lunch distribution for elderly residents, especially seniors living alone. This is the heart of our purpose — to share warmth, dignity, and care through food and presence.
After the walk, all participants are warmly invited to:
* Grab a simple brunch before spend time supporting older hawkers, provision shops, and mom-and-pop stores in the market
These small businesses and elderly vendors are part of the same living fabric we are walking for — let’s continue that care with our choices and support.
🕛 Important reminder: Lunch for the elderly will be served by 12 noon sharp, so please enjoy a light brunch beforehand and return with energy and heart for the service.
Let’s walk not just for health, but for community.
For our seniors. For our hawkers. For each other. 🌱
Walk Distance: 9km - 2 hrs easy
Brunch and Food marketing: 1.5 hr
Food distribution: 1 hr
**PS. As of May all pack2treat schedule will be change so that participants can join us to shop and distribute food.

A monthly healing space where we gather to tend the pieces of ourselves and weave them back into wholeness that we are. Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey.
Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen.
This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are.
