March Workshop Highlights
In March the Owl Company offered a series of talks and workshops in Singapore.
The first of these, Your Child’s Creative Spirit, was a free talk for parents on self awareness and creativity.
The Creative Spirit of Yoga
On Saturday 14th March the OWL Company launched its first yoga workshop.
The Creative Spirit of Yoga was well attended, by people of differing backgrounds and levels of experience.
The workshop explored Yoga asanas and delved into the creative spirit underlying not only Yoga practice but also the joyful experience of this life. It explored wholeness, bringing this awareness to the fore that it might hopefully extend into everything we do. Participants revealed a great capacity for creative freedom, self awareness and joyful participation.
Here is what some of them had to say:
"I'd like to once again thank Siew Yong and Gerry for the wonderful time I had at the yoga workshop.
I find Gerry very knowledgeable and sensitive to the energies in the group. The workshop has given me a new look at yoga and the intents I may set for my life. I also learnt that life can be fun if we trust and allow life itself to work with us rather than dictate how it should be.
Thank God for people like you who help bring others to another level in their lives." ~ Claudia Heck-Chioy
"Trying to fulfill our many diverse roles in today's fast paced life, we often forget who we truly are. The Creative Spirit of Yoga workshop has helped me to re-learn that I was born with beauty inside. I only had to allow myself to express it freely. I can fulfill my roles and still attend to the inner garden within. I can allow this inner loveliness to grace everyone and everything I touch." ~ Linda Yong
"It was a very joyful workshop, in the workshop I realized that in life most of the problems come when we refuse to accept who we are, what you are now, and it is in this subconscious way that we keep on holding on to ourselves - because of our past experience. Once again, thanks to Siew Yong and teacher Gerry who created such a good experience to develop our self-awareness and get close to ourselves. I would like to thank all of the participants too, for everyone's contribution to create a lot joy and happiness." Siew Leng
A Walk in the Forest
Tuesday 16th March was the workshop for children A Walk in The Forest which explored themes such as understanding our feelings, recognising our inner beauty and our connection with nature and each other. It was a very enjoyable experience and the children journeyed through art activities, improvisation and storytelling into a place of stillness, play and self confidence.
For facilitator Gerry Hillier and assistant teacher Jarrah Staggard, their time in Singapore was an enriching experience. “It was a privilege to meet so many sincere and generous people who willingly shared their own stories. We look forward to returning in June – and the food is fantastic.”
