Gaia Ashram, founded in 2012, is one of Thailand's most influential eco-communities, promoting a sustainable lifestyle and deep connection with nature. The recent Gathering Gaia Calling conference, held from December 10 to 14, brought together over 80 members from various Asian eco-communities, ecological farming, Buddhist organizations, and global ecological network workers.

The conference included introductions, discussions on personal callings, personal growth in community . Topics ranged from community living to spiritual practices and addressing environmental crises. Our representative, Yang Le and Qianzi introduced Lifechanyuan's principles and new life mode without marriage, emphasizing the importance of aligning with nature,take the way of nature and overcoming the crisis of human's selfishness.

The five-day event also featured activities like music, dance, spiritual discussions, nature connection, and harvesting hibiscus flowers. Interaction with participants, including those from Japan's Gaia Youth, allowed us to share our community's story and philosophy.

The conference was a valuable experience, we also find that we need  improve English for better engage with participants and share Lifechanyuan's teachings. Thank you Om for inviting, thank you everyone for your kindness , smiles,  love ,warmth and positive energy, which gave us a beautiful memory.Hope to meet each other again in the future.
