What to expect
Enter a safe and supportive space for men to explore emotions, personal growth and relationship with themselves and others by the following phases:
Release
Explore Dynamic Meditation: a fast, intense and thorough way to break old, ingrained patterns in the bodymind that keeps one imprisoned in the past, and to experience the freedom, the witnessing, silence and peace that are hidden behind those prison walls.
Reconnect
Learn to connect by speech and movement. Within a safe, guided and confidential talking circle, open up about topics that are difficult to approach even with your own partner, family, friends or colleagues. You may also simply observe or help others with your own experiences. A movement practice based on dance and silat then establishes a healthy connection with other men.
Reflect
Learn how to use Non-Violent Communication tools to enhance your ability to express feelings and needs effectively, avoiding unnecessary conflict and improving compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Besides self expression, you will also learn and practice empathic listening and be better at being attentive and responsive to others' inputs during conversations.
Recharge
Experience the visceral experience of breathwork and guided ice bath. While physically challenging, the main goal will be to enter into a deeply introspective state of mind and spirit where you might see possibilities of overcoming challenges or to practice self forgiveness.
Refuel
Embark on a vegan Malay gastronomic journey via Schira Hassan's Tanaman Menu. Begin with kueh bakar shitake quiche and oat tarik tea, move to bunga telang rice and kelor leaves lemak at dusk. Relish grilled lion mane shrooms, "botok-botok" tofu, turmeric tempeh, and sambal belachan belimbing. Explore cincalok and torch ginger kesum pesto, concluding with tapioca bingka and a six-spice golden mylk latte.
Facilitators
Tan Chun Yih
Chun is a breathwork and cold immersion instructor teaching the Wim Hof Method since 2019. After experiencing inflammation from multiple sports activities for 15 years, his journey towards wellness has exposed him to multiple teachers and methods.
After experiencing burnout from work, he now works full time to provide people a way out from stress-related harm to the body and mind. Using breathwork and cold exposure as a primary tool, as well as mobility and mindfulness to dive deeper, he hopes to provide a safe space to further explore how various protocols can improve the body, mind and spirit to live a meaningful, pain-free life filled with joy and ease.
Hafeez Hassan
Hafeez Hassan is a professional choreographer, functional rehab specialist, and movement coach. He has been in the performing arts industry for over 15 years. Known for his “dynamic movement design” on stage, Hafeez has been involved in numerous productions, both as a performer and choreographer. Due to the nature of his job, his passion for physical movement grew and his curiosity brought him into the fitness industry.
After spending many years looking for a sustainable way to maintain his physical health, Hafeez discovered that the best way was also the simplest—by walking. He now integrates his spiritual practices in dance, yoga, and silat with functional corrective exercises. This is how he aims to align the body, mind, and spirit, so as to achieve a peaceful body and a more empowered posture when moving.

His role as a trainer, coach, and consultant sees him engage people at all levels, from the man on the street to national level workforce projects.
Through the lens of this experience, Nadam sees the need for holistic development, where skills upgrading is complemented by emotional and spiritual building. To this end, he holds space for meditation, a foundation for individuals to build their emotional and spiritual health and well-being.
