An Ode to Self-Mastery

At the opening night of Tatler Ball Asia 2025 on Oct 2nd, we explored that question beneath the waves.

An Ode to Self-Mastery — co-curated and presented by The Conscious Festival in partnership with Tatler Asia — brought together 160 of Asia’s leading innovators, founders, and change-makers for an evening of reflection, resilience, and renewal at the Singapore Oceanarium.

Headlined by the legendary Wim Hof (“The Iceman”), who shared his philosophy on breath, cold exposure, and mindset — reminding us that “power, strength, and happiness are our birthright.”

His message echoed through the deep blue: true mastery begins when we reconnect with nature and our inner stillness.

Joining him was Lhakpa Sherpa, the first woman to summit Everest nine times — a living symbol of courage and persistence.

Together, they embodied the night’s spirit: that the greatest summit we can conquer is within ourselves.

Grateful to have collaborated with Tatler Asia and DBS Private Bank to bring conscious leadership and self-mastery into one of Asia’s most prestigious stages.
