OTR Wellbeing Champion Festival June 2024

Yen-Lu Chow is an award-winning entrepreneur, technologist, venture catalyst & angel investor, mentor & advisor turned author & keynote speaker, mental wellbeing champion, social innovator, philanthropist & humanist, student of spirituality & seeker of Truth. 

A former Apple Distinguished Technologist, he is the co-founder and Executive Chairman of WholeTree Limited and its mental wellness initiative Over-The-Rainbow (OTR), Founding Executive Chairman of Asia Institute of Mentoring (AIM), Founding Partner Fatfish MediaLab, Founding Executive Mentor of Young Sustainable Impact Southeast Asia (YSI SEA), and founder of the Deep Human Movement. 

He sits at the nexus of three major social ecosystems: mental health, mentoring and sustainability, bringing extensive experience in tech and entrepreneurship to build ecosystems and mobilize communities to create positive social change. In a fast-paced world where the only constant is change, he believes there is an urgent need for each of us to draw on our strengths and creative potential as human beings to contribute towards humanity in a positive and impactful way. He enjoys building ecosystems and mobilizing the community to create positive social change. With the launch of his family foundation and other social impact initiatives, Yen-Lu devotes his time serving both society and the nation in his various capacities.

And with Deep Human, he wants to make ancient wisdom available and accessible to modern life - a way of being that connects us back to the Source and brings us closer to the Humanity that we aspire (and need) to be - to a time and place where our planet was not merely seen as free resources to be exploited for selfish gains and endless human greed, without consideration for the greater good – where conscious consumption replaces hyper consumption – where collective consciousness replaces individual thinking – where we live as one, in harmony and in unity with our environment, our planet and with one another. 

He is on a life mission to help bring about a kinder, gentler, more inclusive, more just, and sustainable world.

Cedric Lee has more than 20 years in the healthcare industry, ranging from pharma to medical devices and healthtech. As the CEO of ConnectingDNA, he embarked on his mission to help people (and businesses) unlock their potential through DNA insights because he previously suffered from a severe eczema condition that is only resolved after he did a DNA test and found out how his body works differently from everyone else. With this knowledge, he aims to share the concept on the "Genetic Multiplier" that our genes aren't set in stone, but can be controlled through smarter decisions in life.

Sek Sheng, also known by his artist name ‘Dr Foo’, is a conscious musician/ DJ & sound meditation facilitator who prescribes music for healing and integration of deeper aspects of the self. Starting as an underground club DJ in Melbourne to immersing in yogic journeys in India & Bali, and then realising (and learning) the power of sound for therapy, he brings over 10 years of deep sonic tapestry. He believes that sound is a universal language that can re-awaken our innate connection with all, and serve as a fun yet sacred medium for healing and understanding. His sound journeys weave therapeutic instruments with hypnotic electronic & ethnic music across cultures, and emphasise the importance of owning our darkness before true healing and expansion can occur.

A certified Yoga teacher and an avid artist, she regularly incorporates art into her therapy work. Her art journey began in 2000 after moving to Singapore from the US in 1996. Living in Singapore exposes her to the vibrant colors of its landscape and a rich multi-cultural heritage, reminding her of her roots and her dreams, while awakening in her a sense of creativity and passion in the pursuit of her painting. Her art works reveal a quality of free spirit, energy, and harmony. After her first solo exhibition in 2014, Yee Ling has participated in a number of other exhibitions. She continues to explore and delight in her art adventure to this day.
