Our favourite books are not simply words on a page; they can also be portals to different worlds, friends in lonely seasons, and sculptors of our world view. Some books on our shelf also serve as relief for our internal struggles, they bear witness to our pain and offer pathways to navigate through it. We wanted to facilitate space for this relief in a workshop hosted by a mental health professional from Singapore Association for Mental Health (SAMH)'s Creative Mindset Hub. Participants will explore the themes of Forgiveness, Thankfulness, Love and Letting Go while meditating on the "to let the light in" poetry anthology. The workshop will be in two parts: 10am - 12pm: Part 1 - Regret and Gratitude1pm - 3pm: Part 2 - Love and Goodbyes This event is part of the Sing Lit Blk Party.About The Facilitator Serene Goh designs, facilitates and evaluates creative programmes, as part of her work in mental health education, prevention and rehabilitation.

About the "to let the light in" anthologyDeath is not a topic that’s often discussed, but it’s an inevitable reality of every human life. Without a strong support system, those facing this crisis of existence may find themselves feeling lost and overwhelmed - struggling to find the light.During this period of intense vulnerability, palliative care provides medical, financial, and emotional support for the individuals affected and all who are close to them. Care for the spirit in particular is important to sustain hope during this long journey.In our open call, we received over 800 poetry submissions about mortality from people living all across the Asia Pacific. In this collection, we gather and present the best 111 entries in 11 languages, translated into English to reach as wide an audience as possible. We hope this anthology provides a sense of comfort, connection and catharsis for everyone involved in the palliative care journey. Purchase your own copy of the anthology to make notes along the way!Implementation of Safe Management Measures:1.
