A calling drawn her to **Reiki healing** and her recovery progressed so much more! Hwee is an advanced Reiki Level 3 practitioner. With yoga, Hwee fell in love with the **low impact** workout (which was gentle for her teenage injured lower back). Wanting to know yoga beyond the physical aspects (asanas), she went to one of the oldest yoga school in world, G.S. College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis, Kaivalydham in Lonavla, Pune, India in 2017 and attained her Hatha Yoga teaching certifications from both Kaivalydham and Quality Council of India (QCI) by Indian Yoga Association. Hwee is also into meditation since 2013 and with Hatha Yoga now, the practice between asana (physical exercise) and meditation has integrated into one. > *“We don’t do meditation — meditation happens to us.”* Join Hwee for a nourishing outdoor practice of yoga, pranayama, and gentle healing.

***Ready for sign-up!*** Question? [WhatsApp organizer](http://wa.link/j2at9z) ➡️ Pay to secure a slot Min. 15 pax to confirm. **What will you experience?** **Seaside living, the rustic style**: 2 easy yet scenic coastal hikes, 1 night camping by the sea, learn some basic survival skills & cook your own dinner with team effort. **INTRODUCTION** The Selantai and Pulau Mawar hike in Mersing, Johor, is a short yet scenic coastal trail renowned for its dramatic rock formations, crystal-clear blue waters, and tranquil, untouched beaches. The route passes through coastal shrubs, sandy stretches, and rocky outcrops before reaching the iconic **“Heaven’s Gate (天堂之门)”** rocks at Pulau Mawar—one of the area’s most photogenic spots. It’s an easy-to-moderate hike suitable for beginners, offering beautiful sunrise views and a peaceful, nature-rich escape by the sea. **[Drone video of Heaven's Gate: CLICK](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBu_W4OSp_N/)** People flock to Pulau Mawar undoubtedly for the Heaven’s Gate view – a huge rock arch that opens to the view of the South China Sea. In Malay, it is also known as Gerbang Laut or in Chinese, “天堂之门”, which means “Door to Heaven”. Don’t be deceived by the photo; the actual rock arch is a lot bigger than it looks. **=> [Read more here](https://1step1footprint.com/pulau-mawar-heavens-gate/)** Pulau Mawar is located at the tip of Pantai Mawar beach, just a 30-minute drive north of Mersing Town/Jetty. Many years ago, it was indeed an island separated by a small strait from the mainland. However, after years of alternating high and low tides, a sandbank forms, connecting Pantai Mawar to Pulau Mawar. So, it is not a *Pulau,* an island anymore – totally accessible on foot! **Bukit Selantai** is a short but rewarding coastal hill hike known for its sweeping sea views and peaceful natural setting. The trail climbs gently through light forest and rocky terrain before opening up to panoramic vistas of the coastline, offshore islands, and turquoise waters. Suitable for beginners with a moderate fitness level. **[The hiking video](https://youtu.be/B34L21HUDBw)** **[For drone video, click](https://www.tiktok.com/@dronecococil/video/7536101625736269073)** **Cost, SGD: $ 245 / pax [2 pax in a tent]** 1.

✨ Connect with us over a day of fun climbs and an (optional) night of dinner + board games! ✨ **🧗 What is bouldering?** Bouldering is a sub-discipline of rock climbing, that is done without a harness on a lower wall, with safety pads. It involves finding the right sequence to reach the end of a route, very much like a maze or puzzle. The problem-solving, social nature of climbing has been shown to boost self-esteem and confidence, as well as reduce depression and anxiety levels.

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
