Sitting with the Sky is an evening Forest Therapy session held at the Singapore Botanic Gardens from 4.30pm to 7pm on selected evenings.
The session invites you on quiet journey of meeting and noticing. Along the way, we'll be greeted by trees of many kinds, each with its own shape, texture and way of reaching for the evening light. Spend time with these nature beings, and perhaps notice how they lean, breathe or hold space around them. Our steps will eventually lead us to an open space, where the sky stretches wide above us. Here, you're invited to rest your gaze upon the white clouds and blue sky, dressed in the day's evening hues.

Each Sitting with the Sky Forest Therapy session unfolds differently, shaped by the season, the place, the moment, and those who arrive. As summer settles in from June to August, the Sitting with the Sky Forest Therapy session gently carries the spirit of summer, a season of warmth, light, and abundance. The richness of the season invites us into gratitude and quiet joy, while encouraging a deeper sense of aliveness and connection with the world around us.
You are welcome to arrive just as you are, into this summer edition of Sitting with the Sky.

The Singapore Botanic Gardens was chosen for Sitting with the Sky because of the presence of its heritage trees. These mature trees carry a quiet steadiness about them. They stand with a kind of grounded dignity, offering shade, scale and comfort simply by being. Along our route, many of these trees rise like mother trees - large, rooted and expansive, as if holding and nourishing the younger trees around them. Their presence feels reassuring, almost protective, and this Forest Therapy session is intentionally shaped to lean into that sense of being held.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens also has wide lawns where the sky stretches uninterrupted. There, you are invited to wander, to find our own patch of grass, to lie down if you wish, and to meet the evening light in a way that feels true to you. Whether it is curiosity, stillness, or simply a gentle exhale, there is space here to remember that part of you.
