Providing a quiet space in a noisy worldπŸ™Thanks for joining this channel for young working adults in Singapore! We hold weekly sessions and publish other Dhamma events. Queries? πŸ“§: daywa.contact@gmail.com

Work can take many forms in our lives. At times we push hard and feel stretched thin. At other times we find ourselves coasting, going through the motions, or quietly checking out. Between burnout and disengagement, many of us are still trying to figure out what a healthy and meaningful relationship with work looks like.

Join us for a reflective afternoon as we pause to review how we approach our work. Through conversation and shared reflections, we’ll explore the habits, assumptions, and pressures that shape the way we work and how we might find a steadier, more balanced way forward.

This session offers a space to pause and reflect together.

Save the date in your calendar for now! πŸ“†The RSVP poll will be released sometime next week.

Evening, as a sign of mindfulness-in-progress…the poll person (iz me🐷) made an error.

This wednesday is unguided sits. So it is a 25-30 mins that is not guided. Less yapping more zen.

As it is not guided, it is not beginner friendly🌚

Vote accordingly😬

Most of our days are spent rushing, fixing or improving.
This one isn’t.

Let’s head out for a Mindful Walk! A slow, guided space to pause, notice, and just be with what’s already here.

No destination. No need to β€œget it right.” Just walking, together.

If your mind’s been a little noisy lately, you might find this helpful.

🌿 Limited to 30 slots

Hi everyone,

Thanks for joining yesterday’s session on hustling and coasting. A few key takeaways:

- Balance is key: Work is just one part of life. The DΔ«ghajānu Sutta and Sigalovada Sutta remind us not to neglect the other β€œdirections.”

- Relationships matter: How we show up for people is as important as what we achieve.

- Create causes for well-being: Step back, reflect, and respond wiselyβ€”don’t just react to stress or disengagement.

Work happens, but let’s not forget the bigger picture! Happy start-of-the-workweek everyone^^β˜ΊοΈπŸ™

(Join us for sits this week yeaaa)

Happy April, everyone 😎

As we step into the second quarter of 2026, DAYWA Cares organised an outing for the residents of Renci Nursing Home last Saturday πŸ’«

We brought them to the Orchid Garden for a walk, brightening their day with some sightseeing and puff cakes πŸ˜‹ It may seem like a small gesture to us, but it made a big difference to them πŸ™Œ

So kudos to you who joined us and took part in this meaningful deed!

We also collected donations from members, raising a total of $559 to support Renci and continue helping the residents. Thank you to everyone who contributed!

There are more events coming up this April. See you at the next DAYWA event πŸ‘‹
