**INVASION**: No facilitation, just visiting a library! We'll stay near the entrance for a few minutes then head over to read. Say hi, or don't! :-) We think it's a slightly different experience exploring a spot with people you've been introduced to, however briefly, and having someone to share your personal trivia with when you find something interesting. Leave a comment in the meetup if you want to be found. We'll keep a lookout. If you're late, you will have to find us yourself! P.s. We _may_ have something for the early birds that chirp at us :-) - Nearest MRT: Bukit Batok

Join us in an experiential healing Kintsugi workshop in a calm serene setting acccompanied by soothing meditative music and scents. Kintsugi is Japanese ancient art of mending broken pottery. It essentially teaches us to appreciate and celebrate the broken pottery’s flaws and cracks. During the 2 hour session, you will learn all about the origins and history of Kintsugi, types of Kintsugi, how Kintsugi teaches us sustainability and very importantly how Kintsugi is a healing art. Please bring along any broken ceramics if you hv. If you do not have any, it’s alright as we have plenty of ceramics to choose from in the studio. Free flow of Japanese Green Tea is also provided during the session.

**Let’s catch up and take an afternoon break.** **Grab a coffee or snack and let’s chit chat! Gayle and I will bring adult coloring books and/or a simple craft if you’d like to unwind and relax.😊**

Find us on our [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EKw86WJCp/?mibextid=wwXIfr).
