Let It Be - The Healing Power of Everyday Objects

What can a simple object tell us about ourselves? Join healing guides So Hak and Edward Yip to explore the past, present, and future of the items we keep. Participants are invited to bring a meaningful personal item to share its story. Through guided reflection, we'll examine what it means to own, to hold on, and to let go—turning our possessions into tools for emotional grounding and self-healing.
