About this Event

Introducing A Journey Into Self - a series that invites you to pause and turn your attention inward, through creative exploration and contemplative practice. This intimate series offers a doorway into deepening your understanding of and relationship with yourself—through poetry, art, and reflective journaling.
In our special Valentine's Day edition of A Journey Into Self, we'll be using poetry as our first medium of exploration.

We want to be seen, to belong, to be loved. Despite being separate entities protecting our own self interests, we feel an irresistible yearning to connect ourselves to a greater whole.

Join us as we explore:

why we feel separate yet yearn for connection
deeper dimensions of connection
connecting with our inner or higher self
the unity that underlies all life

Poetry...

...is one of the ways humanity has expressed this yearning for connection, especially that of a much deeper one. Good poetry almost always forces us to look deeper into ourselves, to look closely at our inner struggles and pave a way for higher aspirations to shine through the mud.

We’ll be writing our own poems on what connection means after a short meditation, allowing inspiration to flow from this deeper place of unity and oneness where connection does not need to be sought.

Founded in 1889, the Theosophical Society in Singapore is part of a global network that seeks to foster the pursuit of wisdom, compassion, and universal brotherhood. Rooted in the Greek word theosophia (divine wisdom), the Theosophy Society welcomes seekers belonging to any religion or to none.

The Society offers resources, educational programs, and a community dedicated to open-minded inquiry into world religions, philosophy, science, and the arts in order to understand the wisdom of the ages, respect the unity of all life, and explore spiritual self-transformation.
