Community

Our Vision and Mission
At the very core of New Life Foundation is a deep sense of community, connection, and belonging.
Although our beloved centre in Thailand is no longer open, we remain dedicated to nurturing its values. Our thriving online network meets regularly to learn, practice, and exchange resources and information. We are proud to have inspired many individuals to create their own spaces of togetherness, modelled after New Life.
We believe this may be our greatest legacy - sharing a way of being in the world based on kindness, mutual responsibility, and interconnection.

Our Team
Our committed team works on organising and facilitating activities, raising awareness, and developing new initiatives to further our mission and goals. We're always looking for volunteers, so get in touch if you'd like to support our work!
Former Staff and Volunteers
Just some of the wonderful people who helped build the foundation into such a special place. Check back for more familiar faces as we keep adding to the list.
