20 Years of Canvass: Wellness in Action – A Year-Long Campaign for Social Impact

Marking two decades of holistic practice, Canvass launches a year-long initiative linking mindfulness, wellbeing, and social good. The campaign includes certified training for parents and teachers, community wellness classes for women 40+, and a fundraising effort supporting underprivileged children and refugees.

Singapore, 21 November 2025 – Canvass Mindfulness Centre marks its 20th anniversary by launching Caring for Our Future Together, a one-year initiative that combines personal wellbeing with social responsibility. The programme supports participants’ growth while raising funds and awareness for Tibetan Children’s Village (TCV), an education and care centre for Tibetan refugee children.

Over the next 12 months, 20% of net proceeds from selected retreats, workshops and community classes will go toward this cause. Canvass aims to raise SGD 5,400 by October 2026 –  enough to sponsor five children for one year. Each sponsorship is SGD 90/month, covering education, food, housing and healthcare – less than SGD 3 a day can make a difference.

“Wellness isn’t just about the individual,” said founder Jolie Michelle Ow. “Through yoga, meditation, art and movement we can build emotional resilience and also give back in a meaningful way. Every class, every reflection, every act of kindness matters for children who need hope.”
