In the ‘Physical & Spiritual’ zone, Babel, established gym and wellness sanctuary, is leading fitness and meditation sessions to foster physical well-being and mindfulness. Babel also holds activities in the park, encouraging visitors reconnect with nature. Completing this self-care zone are beauty workshops and makeovers conducted by esteemed beauty partners.

The space is filled with uplifting messages as well as helpful facts to promote emotional well-being. This zone also features an immersive calming room for mental relaxation and serenity.
The 'Social & Leisure' zone promises fun and engaging activities for visitors, fostering bonds and creating joyful experiences through crafting, painting, journaling, and group participation. Within this safe space located at the Centre Court, Nyawa launched a journal on October 7.
