Rest and reconnect to your True Nature with Yoga Nidra and awaken to a life of unshakable peace and wellbeing. Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is derived from the ancient tantric practice and is a unique combination of modern science and ancient yoga teachings. It is a guided mindfulness-based practice that focuses on body sensing, breathing techniques, emotional relaxation and guided consciousness meditation. Backed by science and research, the practice has been proven to assist with deep rest, stress, anxiety, insomnia, pain management and PTSD. Yoga Nidra can be a loving and supportive practice to living your best life. Life can be hard at times, sometimes really hard and we could all use a little support, self-care/love and rest from the mayhem. In this highly regenerative meditative state, we gently allow the sound and vibrations from the Gongs to shift and release stagnant energy and tension accumulated in the bodies. You can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness, and re-wire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency.

Follow our Telegram channel to see what we sit. ### Topic/speaker of the month: Topic of the month: Embracing Your Protagonism As the year draws to a close, communities around the world turn to story, symbolism, and shared traditions to make sense of the year gone by. For freethinkers and the non-religious, the Winter Solstice and secular Christmas season offer a meaningful moment to gather, reflect, and reconnect. At this December Secular Assembly, we explore how narratives—ancient, modern, festive, or personal—shape the way we see ourselves and our place in a complex world. In a warm and welcoming community setting, we celebrate the light returning after the longest night, and the human capacity to create meaning through reason, compassion, and imagination. In Embracing Your Protagonism, Melvin Lim, President of the Society, invites us to consider: if life were a game, what kind of lead character would you be? Drawing on storytelling traditions, year-end mythologies, and even lessons from narrative games, Melvin will guide us through practical ways to understand our strengths, “buffs,” and “debuffs,” and how to take intentional steps toward becoming the protagonist in our own stories. Join us for an uplifting morning of reflection, music, and humanistic community as we close the year together and look ahead with renewed agency and purpose. #### Assembly brief During the Secular Assembly, there will be: short sing alongs, a short talk, sharing of personal stories, moments for reflection and gratitude, and more. Light refreshments (packet drinks) will be provided. Assembly will start on time, please arrive 10-15mins early. **\*\*Collaboration with Harmony in Diversity Gallery (HDG)\*\*** The Harmony in Diversity Gallery (HDG) was developed by the Ministry of Home Affairs in collaboration with community partners and organisations like the Inter-Religious Organisation (IRO). The Gallery aims to promote an appreciation of Singapore’s rich religious diversity. It hopes this will foster a spirit of give and take, mutual respect and understanding, necessary to nurture and strengthen the religious peace and harmony we enjoy today.

**🛠️ *The Relentless Fellowship*** **A fraternity for entrepreneurs who never clock out and are always too busy building to waste time.** This is the 3rd session of The Relentless Fellowship. In December 2025, the host will be Nicholas. His profile is as follows: Nicholas Chan is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of practical experience building, operating, and fixing businesses across multiple stages. He has founded and led companies, worked in early stage venture investing, and advised founders on execution, structure, and survival. As the organizer of the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network, he brings together serious operators who value effort, discipline, and results. His work reflects a long term commitment to building real businesses rather than pursuing clout, trend-chasing or shortcuts. After 24 years of running the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network, I’ve met all types of founders. Many wear the title of entrepreneur like cosplay where they are always chasing grants, investments and attention while building up their image instead of focusing on results. Others are corporate or government staff trying to play-act as entrepreneurs on the side while doing their very best to slack off, do nothing and go nowhere. But there are the very rare few who are actually “in the trenches”, the real hardcore entrepreneurs I have had conversations and collaborations with, **always** **working 12 to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year** consistently building with driven focus, a constant sense of urgency and disciplined commitment to their mission. They don’t chase clout. They don’t have time for bullshit small talk. They have zero tolerance for political correctness and lies. They are most certainly not caught up in the never ending chase to create clickbait content in their never ending quest of famewhoring. More than anything, they crave meaningful connection and fostering deep collaboration with other similarly hard charging individuals who understand first-hand the true demands of the entrepreneurial vocation. *"It is hard to find other entrepreneurs who actually “get it”.”* *“ I’m not here to waste time with time wasters. I’m here to build."* *"I want to collaborate with my peers, not waste my time with “tourists” and “wannabes”."* So, this is my answer for them and myself. *** **🔧 Introducing: *The Relentless Fellowship*** This is a **private support group and collaboration circle** for serious, mission-driven workaholic entrepreneurs who obsessively live and breathe their work. Not a speaker panel. Not a pitch night. Not a parade of LinkedIn personalities. No bullshit about work-life balance. No political correctness or woke bullshit. This is about finding and being amongst other similarly driven entrepreneurs. This is a fellowship, not a networking event. A workaholic support group, not a place to wayang. Just real conversations and profitable collaborations formed over dinner with fellow entrepreneurs who: * Show up, not just in business but in how they treat others. * Share knowledge, experience, perspective and opportunities. Not just take take take. * Respect time, commitments and the opportunity to connect with high-calibre fellow entrepreneurs to build lasting collaborations. This is a space for **mutual support**, **shared energy** and **zero woke political correctness**. *** **📅 The Format** * Held on **Tuesday or Thursday evenings**, hosted at a fellow entrepreneur’s office. * **Capped at 8 attendees (including the host)** to protect the quality of conversation and connection. * **Bring your own packed dinner**; drinks provided from the host’s pantry. * Nicholas, the host of the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network will personally host the **first 3 to 6 gatherings**, after which other members may group up and volunteer their office space to continue the series if they so desire. * If there is demand, more Relentless Fellowship chapters will be spun off and run by other committed entrepreneur hosts. *** ### 🔒 Expression of Interest For the month of December 2025, the host will be Nicholas. Please WhatsApp him at **+65 9488 9683** with the following details: 1. Indicate your interest in attending. 2. Provide your **name, company name, and a short intro** (either what your company does or what new venture you’re starting). 3. Confirm if you are open to meeting **over dinner on the 4th Friday of the month**. From there, you’ll be contacted directly once dates and details are set. *** **If you’ve been quietly carrying the weight of your business, building quietly, working relentlessly and ready to meet others walking the same to band up in building together stronger, better and faster, the Relentless Fellowship is for you.** **No speeches. No spectators. No wokeness. Just builders.**

Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 12:00 - quick intros. 12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Sunday!
