Women Wellness Festival 2.0 Date : Nov 8 Time: 8am–10pm Venue: Parc Subang

Based on true historical events, the musical tells the story of Kong Zhu, a direct descendant of Confucius during the Yuan Dynasty, who faced a moral dilemma between power and principle. Through a dual narrative weaving between the present and ancestral dialogue, Nan Kong explores the Confucian virtues of benevolence ( Ren ) and propriety ( Li ). The production delves deeply into questions of loyalty, integrity and cultural responsibility – themes that remain timeless and universal.

The Women Wellness Festival returns after a sold-out debut early this year. Its return comes with over 30 workshops, talks and activities, alongside a curated wellness marketplace for conscious seekers. From sunrise yoga to energising workouts, from soulful conversations to wellness shopping, every aspect of the festival is thoughtfully designed to encourage women to pause, reconnect and explore.
