If you are around this area, and love Traditional Chinese Medicine, do check out their wonderful services from their experienced team. Especially love their facial Gua Sha and herbal teas. The doctors are very knowledgeable, kind and pretty + youthful.

Till the next time💙

Ps. They do have a branch in Penang at Virtue TCM at The Qing Suites. Special offers for local Penangites😉

It is with the fullest hearts that we invite you to the fourth Rhythm of Unity Retreat in Malaysia, a gathering that weaves together nature, song, story, peaceful movement and silent reflection.

From November 6–8, we will come together in Taiping, where a beautiful sanctuary of harmony awaits us. This year’s retreat feels incredibly special, as we welcome Roxana from Chile as our guest teacher. Her presence and wisdom will enrich our time together in profound ways. This retreat is close to our hearts and has been lovingly curated by a team with dreams.

Together, we will ground ourselves among lush fruit forests and tropical gardens, swim in the river that flows through the sanctuary, stay in charming rainbow and bamboo houses, and enjoy enriching farm-to-table meals prepared by the loving couple, Jern and Kai. Through song, movement, silence and shared presence, we will gather with the purest intention of remembering our connection to one another and to life itself.

Our DUP mentor, Roxana, is an actress, peace activist, guardian of the sacred fire, advocate for women’s circles, and Grandmother of the Moon Dance. Initiated into various spiritual lineages, she guides ceremonies and rites of passage with wisdom, compassion and grace.

Whether you are returning to the circle or joining us for the first time, we warmly welcome you. Come reconnect in tenderness, learn practices to carry home with you and find solace in a community devoted to unity for our bodies, our families and our world.

Registration is now open.

🚌For free shuttle info, check out the FAQ section

The journey to the Garden is a beautiful one, but parking is often limited - especially over a public holiday weekend. As the festival weekend draws nearer, here’s what we recommend in terms of logistics:

1. Public Transport buses 101 & 102 stop right at the Garden: it’s the easiest ride in!

2. Free Festival Shuttle (Park & Ride) Make your way to one of two pickup points and hop on the all-day shuttle from Batu Ferringhi or Teluk Bahang (details coming soon)

3. Grab / Car-hailing / Carpooling: Come together, take up less space, double the fun!

The less you have to think about getting here, the easier you can settle in and enjoy what’s waiting.

💌From Jon:

coming by with a heads up for those travelling from out of state - if you're still looking for accommodation, we've got a partnership with two hotels in the area, namely Golden Sands by Shangri-La and Bahang Bay Hotel. all the info on the hotel deals are here:
https://tsgspicefam.com/bumi-faqs

two things to note:

- Bahang Bay will be your best bang for buck:
1) it's very close to the Garden and
2) our free shuttle stops at the hotel itself!

- Golden Sands offers a more resort-y feel, is perfect for families with kids - BUT they only have a handful of rooms left for festival goers (RM350 nett with breakfast for 2px) and you'll have to make your reservations by/before tomorrow, due to the holiday rush of next weekend

regardless, we do highly recommend staying in the Batu Ferringhi/Teluk Bahang area to free yourself from time spent in traffic - and that way you'll get to maximise your time in our little oasis!

Two full days at BuMI call for deep rest and a slower pace - where you stay between the sessions/days will matter, especially with public holiday traffic.

This is why we’ve partnered up with two nearby hotels to provide special rates for festival goers. Both are within easy reach, and both will look after you well.

We’re delighted to have and on this journey with us.

To view these deals, head to the Festival FAQs. Book early, avoid disappointment, enjoy the ease and comfort.

The earth has always known how to take care of us.

In the Herbal Poultice Making Workshop, you'll work with locally gathered herbs to craft your own aromatic compress ball, a traditional healing tool used to soothe the body, ease tension, and restore balance. As you shape and blend with intention, you'll also learn the ancient art of touch: how to use these warm compresses to invite deep relaxation into the body.

Xin Tong walks the path of a modern medicine woman. Her journey began in Australia, studying ethnobotany and living alongside Aboriginal communities, before she returned to her ancestral land in Kedah to cultivate organic herbs and craft remedies through a practice rooted in Thai and Chinese healing traditions.

Join Xin Tong at BuMI Fest 2026 for a sensory journey of herbs, touch, and the quiet intelligence of the land.
🌿 Your BuMI Fest pass includes 2 Scheduled Experiences per day, the day's Festival Highlight, free Drop-In Sessions and private access to the Garden, yours alone for the weekend.

Thank you Dr Tan and Dr Theva for inviting me to warm up your morning with Qigong with the most friendly staffs and Kem Diabetes participants at Klinik Kesihatan Tanjung Bungah. It's so meaningful to see the people brighten up with smiles on their faces, practicing simple 8 movements and simple breathwork together. So grateful for all of you that came❤️

This year, BuMI breathes like the tides, carrying a quiet arc.

On Saturday, it nurtures: a gentle nudge to arrive, soften, and let yourself be nourished.

Sunday invites integration and release: to weave what you’ve gathered, and release what’s ready to leave.

Come breathe with us, and return to the essentials.
