An unprecedented work of oral history, The Good Women of China offers firsthand accounts of societal issues facing women in the 20th century. In this heartrending and inspiring collection of stories, author Xinran shares her interviews during her time as a radio journalist in China in the 1980s. Join us in reading the book before our live discussion with the author.

Xinran was born in Beijing in 1958 and moved to London in 1997 to write for The Guardian. She is author of The Good Women of China, a seminal book about the lives of Chinese women, and Sky Burial. Her charity, The Mothers’ Bridge of Love, was founded to help disadvantaged Chinese children and to build a bridge of understanding between the West and China.

In response to the increasing demand for wellness and mindful practice throughout the pandemic, SANGHA Retreat by OCTAVE Institute introduces a 5-night Mindful Living program - A Zen Challenge to explore the inner self and release your infinite potential. Whether you already practice mindfulness or you are looking to take part in your first wellbeing retreat, SANGHA Retreat is here to help to recalibrate your mind, body and soul.

During the all-encompassing 5-night program, guests will take on variety of challenges from modern oriental meditation practices, including walking meditation, kneeling meditation, hands-lifting meditation, various breathing techniques, and sound therapy, whilst maintaining a vegetarian diet. It also guides guests on a journey to discover how mindful adjustments to our daily behavioural patterns can lead to a more fulfilling life through practicing the eight habits of exploration and mindfulness: food, breath, sleep, movement, meditation, emotion, joy and relationships, and their connection with our physical, mental and spiritual health.

The first in a new series, the English program will run from 12 to 17 February 2021, followed by a dedicated Chinese programme in March. Priced at RMB 32,000 per person, guests will follow mindful meditation practices alongside a prescribed, balanced diet to improve health, replenish energy, better manage emotions and achieve personal growth. Each day of the program is comprised of a variety of mindfulness courses, talks, and lectures to enhance the state of wisdom, in addition to the meditation practices with the following highlighted themes.

Breaking Boundaries: Discovering Your True Self
With the integration of Eastern wisdom and Western quantum science, the program will guide guests to a broader path, through which they may discover their true self, harvesting a joyful, healthy and free life.

Group Practice: Accompany and Peer
The journey will be carried out in groups, including over 100km of walks and hours of meditation challenges. Open your mind through interaction with your companions, and step-by-step reconnect with your body, consciousness and emotion.

Energy Exploration: Awakening Inner Awareness
Steer your life in a more positive direction by relieving anxiety, exploring and stimulating your own vitality and potential through breath work, meditation and sound therapy.

Mindful Diet: Eating while Considering the Future of the Planet
Designed by a two-star Michelin chef, the mindful menu provides a customized vegetarian meal plan, incorporating intermittent fasting and mindful cooking. Broaden your understanding of plant-based cuisine and enter the world of mindful food of the future.

“A Zen Challenge” Journey with FUN
Explore true self and inner reflection by attending art, mindful cooking and EQ classes. Guests will also have the opportunity to experience the Timewaver, allowing them to better understand hidden physical and mental signals.

In the mist of morning dawn and the chirping sound of birds, land our sights on a white house named "THIS IS NOT HERE" in the English countryside. John Lennon was singing in front of a white piano glinting under the sunlight:

……

Imagine all the people living life in peace （You…）

You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one”

I hope someday you'll join us

and the world will be as one

……

In this white space, John Lennon expressed his imagination about “love” and “freedom” through his music. Borrowing Lennon’s idea, this group exhibition “this is not here” showcases the art practices of three young artists, TongTongxi, Xue Haoze, and Yin hui in the early stages of their artistic careers. It creates space for viewers to imagine their future art practices.
