When was the last time you tried something new, picked up a hobby or spent an afternoon chatting with friends?

As we grow older, staying active isn't just about physical exercise. Keeping our minds engaged and staying connected with others are just as important.

Reading, playing games, learning a new skill or simply enjoying activities with friends can make a difference to our wellbeing.

If you're aged 60 and above, why not join us at Brahm Centre?

We offer FREE activities where you can learn something new, make friends and enjoy staying active together.

Our programmes are conducted at our Aljunied Centre, MacPherson Centre, Simei Centre and Tampines Centre.

Know someone aged 60 or above who might enjoy these activities? Share this with them!

Have you booked your next year holiday?

Join us for crisp and fresh air in the magical Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Discover the unspoilt nature and taste the friendly and warm hospitality of the Bhutanese people.

This special tour offers daily morning stretching and mindfulness practice to start the day of touring and sightseeing- putting everyone in a happy mood and to mindfully enjoy the healthy meals each moment of the experience.

No need to spend an extra dollar - this is an all inclusive tour. To book, email [email protected]

See poster attached for the 5 date options. Each tour would be accompanied by a Brahm Centre staff or volunteer.

What did the Matthew had to say:
I would like to thank Brahm Centre for organising such a well-planned and memorable trip to Bhutan. I enjoyed myself very much, and from my interactions with my fellow trip mates, I can say that they felt the same way.

The administrative arrangements were very well handled.

Accompanying Brahm Centre staff, Hannie brings with her a pleasant disposition, great energy, and valuable insights that enriched the group experience. I particularly enjoyed the way she conducted the mindfulness sessions before the start of each day. I learnt so much from her - from techniques and practical tips for addressing bodily aches and pains, to deeper insights into the practice and approaches to mindfulness.

The Bhutanese guide, Dr Karma, too, made the trip especially fulfilling. He provided us with fascinating insights into the spirituality, society, culture, history, and political dimensions of the places and experiences we encountered throughout our journey. He is a very talented and cultivated person, and I truly enjoyed being in his presence and learning from him.

Overall, it was a deeply enriching and enjoyable trip, and I am grateful to Braham Centre, Hannie, Dr Karma, and my fellow trip mates for making it such a meaningful experience 🙂

Regards,
Matthew

We often hear people say, “Time heals all wounds.” But is that always true?

Some painful experiences stay with us for years, affecting how we think, feel and respond to everyday situations.

This December, we're bringing Dr David Treleaven , internationally known for his work in trauma-sensitive mindfulness and author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness, to Singapore.

He will be joining Brahm Centre's Founder and CEO, Adj A/Prof Angie Chew of Brahm Centre to lead our Trauma & Deep Pain Healing Retreat from 25–27 December 2026.

Together, they'll share how mindfulness can help us better understand and work with difficult emotions, without forcing ourselves to revisit painful experiences before we're ready.

Limited seats left, for those interested in the retreat, please register early:

Small steps, taken together, can help us care for our minds as we age. 💜

We welcomed 80 seniors for a friendly session with Dr Joshua Lee from Tan Tock Seng Hospital to learn about the early signs of dementia and practical ways to support memory and brain health.

There was time to move and pause, too! Bryan guided everyone through mindful stretching, while Ya Wen introduced Brahm Centre’s Healthier Me and Health & Wellness programmes, encouraging seniors to eat well, stay active and be engaged.

Thank you to everyone who joined us with curiosity and a willingness to take that next step.

Mrs Foo lovingly accompanies her husband to Brahm Centre @ MacPherson to use the Bixeps machine every week.

Mr Foo was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and his muscles weakened and legs swelled. Since using the machine, the swelling has subsided and his legs have strengthened. It’s only been 4 weeks so regular usage will help to enhance and sustain the muscle growth.

They come all the way from Ang Mo Kio by bus as it only cost $5 per session due to subsidy compared to $50 or more elsewhere.

If you need to strengthen your leg muscles, visit one of our centres in Simei, Tampines, MacPherson, Aljunied or Labrador to book a 10-visit package. Do bring your Chas card along for subsidy.

For the addresses of each centre, please check our website: www.brahmcentre.com

When someone opens up about their struggles, sometimes the most helpful thing we can do is simply listen. 💬

Speaking with Cheryl Goh on CNA938’s The Wellness Hour, our Founder and CEO, Angie Chew, shared how we can better care for our mental wellbeing, and support one another.

Thank you to and Cheryl for having Angie on the programme and making space for this important conversation.

Three reminders from the interview:

🌿 Make space to ask for help.
People may describe poor sleep, tiredness or feeling low without knowing how to explain what they’re going through. Finding the words can be difficult, especially when there is fear of judgement.

💬 Listen before offering advice.
Try asking “How are things?” or “How’s work?” Give the person time to speak without rushing to offer solutions. When they’re ready, “What are your options?” can help them explore a way forward.

📱 Take time to recharge.
Angie suggests putting mobile devices away for at least an hour a day. Read, take a walk or connect with loved ones. Give yourself time to replenish before helping others.

Mental wellbeing deserves our attention beyond World Mental Health Day. A thoughtful conversation is one place to start.

World Mental Health Day may have passed, but the need to listen, support and respond continues. Cheryl Goh speaks with Associate Professor Angie Chew, Founder and CEO of Brahm Centre to look at how Singapore’s mental-health conversation has changed, why some people still hesitate to seek help, and...

🍌🐢 We went bananas for crafts, and it was turtle-ly awesome!

Our very first Twist of Joy session at Brahm Centre-PCF Sparkle Care Active Ageing @ Simei 107 was a whole bunch of fun! 16 seniors twisted, bent and shaped pipe cleaners into banana bunches and tiny turtle keychains, and not one of them looked the same. 😆

Slow and steady wins the craft! 🐢 Some of our seniors were crafting for the very first time, and every pair of hands left with something to be proud of. ✨

The brain (and banana) behind it all? Our very own senior volunteer, Chin Geok, who organised the session and guided her fellow seniors herself. Total a-peel! 👏

That’s what we love most about Brahm Centre: seniors learning from seniors, swapping stories, and discovering that everyone has something special to share. 💜

Because when we craft together, we don’t just make keychains. We make friendships, laughter and a community that feels like family. 🏡💜

Got a talent or hobby you’d love to share with other seniors? Come join us at the next session. 🌷

🎂 Today, Mdm Siti Norbayah got a surprise at Brahm Centre @ Simei 148.
She's one of our regular Chair Exercise participants, and a big fan of William's classes. So we paused the session, brought out a card, and her classmates and our team sang her a happy birthday.
We see many of our seniors almost every day. Moments like this, a familiar face, a shared laugh, a card passed around the room, are what make a centre feel like home.
Thank you to William for making space in his class and our Simei team for making it happen.
Happy birthday, Mdm Siti! 🤲❤️

Some of the best learning happens when you get to peek behind the curtain. 🌿

This week, 20 of our seniors stepped into the "hotel-in-a-garden" at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering for a behind-the-scenes look at how sustainability works in everyday hospitality. They followed the journey from rainwater harvesting to the rooftop urban farm, and saw how the hotel works to cut down on waste.

There was plenty of curiosity, laughter and "I never knew that!" along the way. The afternoon ended with a lively Q&A with the hotel's General Manager over refreshments in the staff canteen.

Thank you, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, for opening your doors and sharing your story so generously. 💚
