Pottery in the Garden: Make Your Own Matcha Bowl
This event is happening as part of the Garden Campout. For the full schedule and info on other activities, click here.
Step away from the bustle and reconnect with your senses through clay and nature. In this guided workshop nestled among lush greenery and with a view of the sea, you’ll handcraft and decorate your own matcha bowl (chawan) - vessels rooted in tea tradition, mindfulness, and slow living.
Surrounded by the sights, sounds, and scents of the garden, this experience invites you to slow down, create with intention, and reconnect with the beauty of handmade craft.
You’ll take home one handcrafted matcha bowl that’s food-safe, functional, and uniquely yours. And of course, if you don’t drink matcha - you can always repurpose the bowl!

Yoga In Nature
Our yoga 'studio' is really like no other in Penang: set on the elevated Red Grove Deck amongst the calming green backdrop of a lush tropical rainforest, overlooking the waters of the Straits of Malacca, and accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature.

She believes that consistency of practice is important to cultivate a deep connection with the body and mind in daily life. You can always feel the supportive energy from her during the sessions.

Forest Bathing
We invite you to join us on a gentle, slow-paced journey through our garden sanctuary, designed to enhance the beautiful exchange between forest and people. This walk is crafted to slow your mind and body, decrease cortisol levels, and lower blood pressure, leaving you feeling recharged, grounded, and reconnected. There will be an opportunity to dip your toes into the gardens cascading water ways and grounding your bare feet into our rich jungle soil.
As you walk, our wellness partners will guide you through grounding and breath-work exercises and activities that engage all five senses. Experience the therapeutic practice of Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, which originated in Japan and adapted to the tropical forest here in Malaysia. This practice involves immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere and taking in its essence with all your senses. The effectiveness of Shinrin Yoku is largely due to aromatic organic compounds called phytoncides, which trees and plants emit to defend against pests and diseases. These same compounds have positive physiological effects on us.
This meditative practice helps you switch off, connect with nature, and support your well-being. Forest Bathing offers numerous benefits; studies have shown it reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and improves mental health.
We end our sensory journey at the water garden, where we finish with a reflection and a Tropical Spice Garden-inspired Jungle tea ceremony.

Talk: Overcoming Adversity and Self-Care
In this seminar, Kathleen Maxwell-Rambie will share how change and loss are natural parts of life through which we can grow and find redemption and resilience.
Grief comes in many different shades, not just losing a loved one. Grief can be experienced through the loss of a pet or of a meaningful relationship as well. We will explore how to overcome loss and welcome grief, and we will learn how to better understand our grieving loved ones. Grief and change are great teachers, and through them we will find redemption.
As Maxwell-Rambie shares transparently from her personal journey of loss and sudden change, every participant will find beauty and encouragement in the ashes of life and learn tools to move from tragedy to triumph.

Nature Den Sundays
For children, play is learning - and the outdoors, particularly nature, provides the best environment for both. Teaching them to play outdoors early cultivates a vital connection with nature - something often overlooked in today’s fast-paced, tech-savvy world.
At the Nature Den, we encourage kids to play independently outdoors, with adult supervision from a distance.
Benefits for your kids include:
· fosters resilience
· self-confidence
· initiative
· creativity
· promotes joy of movement, nurtures imagination, encourages experimentation
· builds friendships, and enhances social connections and behaviour
Activities your kids will engage in at the space include:
· small world play
· mud kitchen
· reading corner
· craft sessions
· community gardening
Our Community Gardens is open for the family to enjoy connecting with the earth and spending time in the space dedicated to growing edibles and herbs by our volunteer Community Gardeners. Always a new task is at hand from watering to pruning to planting to building structures!

Wild Flow: The Intuitive Dance
Wild Flow is a trauma-informed, non-sexual intuitive dance practice rooted in sacred movement and nervous system awareness. It’s a guided experience that invites women to move from instinct - using music, breath, and body-based cues to unlock freedom, expression, and healing.
This isn’t choreography or performance. It’s a ritual space to shake off emotional stagnation, release suppressed energy, and reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom. Think of it as the dance your body has always wanted to do—before it was told to sit still, shrink, or stay quiet.
Each session blends:
· Grounding breath work and somatic warm-ups
· A guided intuitive movement journey to curated music
· Gentle rest (stillness, seated grounding, or short Yoga Nidra)
· Sharing circle or journaling time (optional)
This practice is perfect for women who feel stuck in their heads, burnt out, or disconnected from joy - and are craving embodied softness, expression, and emotional release in a safe, sacred space.

Forest Bathing
We invite you to join us on a gentle, slow-paced journey through our garden sanctuary, designed to enhance the beautiful exchange between forest and people. This walk is crafted to slow your mind and body, decrease cortisol levels, and lower blood pressure, leaving you feeling recharged, grounded, and reconnected. There will be an opportunity to dip your toes into the gardens cascading water ways and grounding your bare feet into our rich jungle soil.
As you walk, our wellness partners will guide you through grounding and breath-work exercises and activities that engage all five senses. Experience the therapeutic practice of Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, which originated in Japan and adapted to the tropical forest here in Malaysia. This practice involves immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere and taking in its essence with all your senses. The effectiveness of Shinrin Yoku is largely due to aromatic organic compounds called phytoncides, which trees and plants emit to defend against pests and diseases. These same compounds have positive physiological effects on us.
This meditative practice helps you switch off, connect with nature, and support your well-being. Forest Bathing offers numerous benefits; studies have shown it reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and improves mental health.
We end our sensory journey at the water garden, where we finish with a reflection and a Tropical Spice Garden-inspired Jungle tea ceremony.

Benefits for your kids include:
· fosters resilience
· self-confidence

Activities your kids will engage in at the space include:
· small world play
· mud kitchen
· reading corner
· craft sessions
· community gardening
Our Community Gardens is open for the family to enjoy connecting with the earth and spending time in the space dedicated to growing edibles and herbs by our volunteer Community Gardeners. Always a new task is at hand from watering to pruning to planting to building structures!

Jungle Gym & Craft For Kids
Spending time in nature is essential for the overall well-being of children. Alongside therapist Audrey Eclore and kids movement specialist Luca, we believe that spending time in nature can support children's physical, mental, and social development, and promote a love for the natural world. Mindfulness-based activities can also teach the young to be more focused and relaxed using their senses and breath - promoting happiness at the same time!
So here’s a fun-packed, wellness day out in nature for your kids! All the activities will be set outdoors in the lush Garden and under the shad’e. Suitable for ages 4-10 years. Kids aged 4-6 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Activities include:
· mindfulness and yoga-inspired fun games
· craft session (new one every month)
· playtime and exploration of the Garden
Snacks are included!

In this 2-hour session, you will be guided through a profound exploration of self-enhancement, fostering a deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Forest Bathing
We invite you to join us on a gentle, slow-paced journey through our garden sanctuary, designed to enhance the beautiful exchange between forest and people. This walk is crafted to slow your mind and body, decrease cortisol levels, and lower blood pressure, leaving you feeling recharged, grounded, and reconnected. There will be an opportunity to dip your toes into the gardens cascading water ways and grounding your bare feet into our rich jungle soil.
As you walk, our wellness partners will guide you through grounding and breath-work exercises and activities that engage all five senses. Experience the therapeutic practice of Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, which originated in Japan and adapted to the tropical forest here in Malaysia. This practice involves immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere and taking in its essence with all your senses. The effectiveness of Shinrin Yoku is largely due to aromatic organic compounds called phytoncides, which trees and plants emit to defend against pests and diseases. These same compounds have positive physiological effects on us.
This meditative practice helps you switch off, connect with nature, and support your well-being. Forest Bathing offers numerous benefits; studies have shown it reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and improves mental health.
We end our sensory journey at the water garden, where we finish with a reflection and a Tropical Spice Garden-inspired Jungle tea ceremony.

Wild Flow: The Intuitive Dance
Wild Flow is a trauma-informed, non-sexual intuitive dance practice rooted in sacred movement and nervous system awareness. It’s a guided experience that invites women to move from instinct - using music, breath, and body-based cues to unlock freedom, expression, and healing.
This isn’t choreography or performance. It’s a ritual space to shake off emotional stagnation, release suppressed energy, and reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom. Think of it as the dance your body has always wanted to do—before it was told to sit still, shrink, or stay quiet.
Each session blends:
· Grounding breath work and somatic warm-ups
· A guided intuitive movement journey to curated music
· Gentle rest (stillness, seated grounding, or short Yoga Nidra)
· Sharing circle or journaling time (optional)
This practice is perfect for women who feel stuck in their heads, burnt out, or disconnected from joy - and are craving embodied softness, expression, and emotional release in a safe, sacred space.

Fam Day Out
A special day for our favourite people: the Spice Fam community. Expect a day filled with activities that’ll bring you closer to nature, your self and your loved ones.
More details to follow - stay tuned!
Jungle Gym & Craft For Kids
Spending time in nature is essential for the overall well-being of children. Alongside therapist Audrey Eclore and kids movement specialist Luca, we believe that spending time in nature can support children's physical, mental, and social development, and promote a love for the natural world. Mindfulness-based activities can also teach the young to be more focused and relaxed using their senses and breath - promoting happiness at the same time!
So here’s a fun-packed, wellness day out in nature for your kids! All the activities will be set outdoors in the lush Garden and under the shad’e. Suitable for ages 4-10 years. Kids aged 4-6 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
Activities include:
· mindfulness and yoga-inspired fun games
· craft session (new one every month)
· playtime and exploration of the Garden
Snacks are included!

Ice & Spice
Begin a transformative journey with Kerry Husbands, our resident UK-certified Living Yoga Method teacher, breath coach, and Ice & Spice instructor who introduces an exhilarating experience to Tropical Spice Garden — Penang's first-ever Ice Bath immersion set amidst the lush embrace of nature.

Wild Flow: The Intuitive Dance
Wild Flow is a trauma-informed, non-sexual intuitive dance practice rooted in sacred movement and nervous system awareness. It’s a guided experience that invites women to move from instinct - using music, breath, and body-based cues to unlock freedom, expression, and healing.
This isn’t choreography or performance. It’s a ritual space to shake off emotional stagnation, release suppressed energy, and reconnect with the body’s natural wisdom. Think of it as the dance your body has always wanted to do—before it was told to sit still, shrink, or stay quiet.
Each session blends:
· Grounding breath work and somatic warm-ups
· A guided intuitive movement journey to curated music
· Gentle rest (stillness, seated grounding, or short Yoga Nidra)
· Sharing circle or journaling time (optional)
This practice is perfect for women who feel stuck in their heads, burnt out, or disconnected from joy - and are craving embodied softness, expression, and emotional release in a safe, sacred space.

Forest Bathing
We invite you to join us on a gentle, slow-paced journey through our garden sanctuary, designed to enhance the beautiful exchange between forest and people. This walk is crafted to slow your mind and body, decrease cortisol levels, and lower blood pressure, leaving you feeling recharged, grounded, and reconnected. There will be an opportunity to dip your toes into the gardens cascading water ways and grounding your bare feet into our rich jungle soil.
As you walk, our wellness partners will guide you through grounding and breath-work exercises and activities that engage all five senses. Experience the therapeutic practice of Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, which originated in Japan and adapted to the tropical forest here in Malaysia. This practice involves immersing yourself in the forest atmosphere and taking in its essence with all your senses. The effectiveness of Shinrin Yoku is largely due to aromatic organic compounds called phytoncides, which trees and plants emit to defend against pests and diseases. These same compounds have positive physiological effects on us.
This meditative practice helps you switch off, connect with nature, and support your well-being. Forest Bathing offers numerous benefits; studies have shown it reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, boosts the immune system, and improves mental health.
We end our sensory journey at the water garden, where we finish with a reflection and a Tropical Spice Garden-inspired Jungle tea ceremony.

Nature Den Sundays
For children, play is learning - and the outdoors, particularly nature, provides the best environment for both. Teaching them to play outdoors early cultivates a vital connection with nature - something often overlooked in today’s fast-paced, tech-savvy world.
At the Nature Den, we encourage kids to play independently outdoors, with adult supervision from a distance.
Benefits for your kids include:
· fosters resilience
· self-confidence
· initiative
· creativity
· promotes joy of movement, nurtures imagination, encourages experimentation
· builds friendships, and enhances social connections and behaviour
Activities your kids will engage in at the space include:
· small world play
· mud kitchen
· reading corner
· craft sessions
· community gardening
Our Community Gardens is open for the family to enjoy connecting with the earth and spending time in the space dedicated to growing edibles and herbs by our volunteer Community Gardeners. Always a new task is at hand from watering to pruning to planting to building structures!

Overcoming Adversity and Self-Care: A Talk
In this seminar, Kathleen Maxwell-Rambie will share how change and loss are natural parts of life through which we can grow and find redemption and resilience.
Grief comes in many different shades, not just losing a loved one. Grief can be experienced through the loss of a pet or of a meaningful relationship as well. We will explore how to overcome loss and welcome grief, and we will learn how to better understand our grieving loved ones. Grief and change are great teachers, and through them we will find redemption.
As Maxwell-Rambie shares transparently from her personal journey of loss and sudden change, every participant will find beauty and encouragement in the ashes of life and learn tools to move from tragedy to triumph.
