There are invitations that arrive and you just know.
When I heard about Chill Carnival: Festival for the Child Within by Chill By Nette, I didn’t need long to decide. As a Meditation Coach, Reiki Master, Ayurvedic Life-Style Consultant, and practitioner of Yoga, Qigong, and Zen Traditions — I have spent years holding space for people to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve been too busy to visit.
This event was doing exactly that. In a room. With real people. On a Saturday afternoon in Singapore.
What Senseful Crafts Contributed
Through Senseful Crafts, I contributed our Batik Inspired Motif Tin Candles and Notebooks — specially curated for the Inner Child edition. Each candle hand-poured with intention. Each notebook paired with an affirmation to meet you where you are.
I don’t make products. I make objects that I hope will do something for you.
And in a room full of people giving themselves permission to play, to rest, to wonder — I hope our little objects did exactly that.
A Reflection
We live in a world that rewards productivity and questions stillness. Events like Chill Carnival are quiet acts of resistance — a reminder that joy doesn’t need a reason, and wonder doesn’t need permission.
I am grateful to have been part of it.
