Community Nature Walk x Southern Ridges

Would you like to meet purpose-driven individuals in the innovation, startup and impact community? And explore nature together while having fun, meaningful conversations?

Join us for a journey along Singapore's Southern Ridges that takes us from relaxing forest immersion to yummy food at the Harbourfront. Starting at Kent Ridge Park, we will experience a blend of nature and history. We will traverse the Canopy Walk and descend to botanical oasis featuring themed gardens and tranquil ponds, perfect for a peaceful interlude. After a short break, we will venture onto Labrador Park, taking in sights from a vibrant mangrove ecosystem and beautiful views of Singapore's southern coastline. The walk will end at Harboufront, where you are invited to have an early lunch together with us and your newfound friends.

All proceeds from this walk go to Empower Ageing

Is the trail challenging?

It's moderate trail that takes roughly 2+ hours. The walking surfaces are mostly nicely paved. The challenge is walking stamina for around 7km with some stairs, not to worry we take a rather leisurely pace.

Why walk/hike?

The physical activity of moving forward (especially in a natural environment) as we talk helps us open our minds and break thinking patterns. It allows fluidity for people to move around, provides environmental stimulus to ignite our sense of wonder and allows time for people to be present for each other in the journey.

And the positive impact amplifies..

Beyond connecting individuals, we hope to raise awareness and money for a meaningful cause. For this exploration, ticket proceeds will go fully to Empower Ageing, you can also donate your preferred amount directly. Participants will be updated on the total raised at the event.

What to bring: Water, Raincoat/Umbrella and Insect Repellant. You're also encouraged to bring curiousity, inclusivity and kindness :)

Attire: Comfortable wear for long distance walking, shoes with good grip

Note: Only limited tickets are available to keep group size manageable. You are welcome to invite family members or friends and sign up for them too.

Organisers:

This walk is co-organised by Hui Hong and Keerthana, in support of Empower Ageing. Hui Hong has much of her life exploring ways to apply innovation and an entrepreneurial approach for problems worth solving across varied contexts. she started Venturing Humans as a project to develop a community of purpose driven individuals who can support each other in their journeys and provide a regular watering hole for people to re-connect with humans and nature.

Special thanks to Tech Brews (founded by Terence Tan) as a community collaborator for the this series of Venturing Humans walks!

Our designated charity for this fundraiser, Empower Ageing, is on a mission to support vulnerable seniors in their transformation journeys to age well. They enable that through programmes to mitigate and even reverse declines or issues associated with ageing (such as reversing fragility).

If you wish to directly, please donate to their fundraiser here and email screenshot seow.huihong@gmail.com for details and she will manually create a ticket for you! If you are interested in co-organising future events/walks, feel free to drop me a message too! :)
