Challenges are opportunities for evolution and co-creation of a new future. The future is already here. The future is now. Co-creating holistic solutions to sustainability challenges through common culture and common worldview—for flourishing of all life. The 2024 AT ONE International Festival with the theme One Choice, One World, we invite you to join the conversations, the movement and embrace the collective awakening！
HOW WE STARTED!
It is the brainchild of Chavalit Frederick Tsao a fourth-generation family business steward, who has transformed the business from a conventional shipping company to a multinational business serving Asia′s industrialization and trade globalization.
Staying true the family′s core sustainability value of continuous evolution to serve the era, Chavalit is now elevating this value to new heights. Starting from a small research institute, East West Cultural Development Center, in Singapore in 1995, Chavalit is now on a conscious evolution to bring about business reform and build a collaborative community that will positively impact the well-being and happiness economic era.
Chavalit started the AT ONE event in November 2018 as a platform for knowledge exchange, learning and celebration of life! The AT ONE International Forum brings together thought leaders from a wide range of disciplines to the AT ONE International Festival organized and held in SANGHA Retreat by Octave in Suzhou, China.

ONE CHOICE ONE WORLD
As we emerge from the three-year COVID-19 crisis, we are witnessing an unprecedented awakening happening simultaneously at all levels of life, deeply reflecting on the essence of life and living.
Challenges are opportunities for evolution and co-creation of a new future. Fundamentally, the challenges of sustainability are the results of a crisis of consciousness and ethical issues. An inner journey that changes consciousness, worldview, beliefs, and values will lead the business reform towards a model of well-being and happiness economy.
The future is here, and it‘s time to commit to cultural fusion – each one of us has a part to play in this paradigm shift, the 2024 AT ONE International Festival with the theme One Choice, One World, invites you to join the conversations, the movement and embrace the collective awakening—and have some fun at the same time!
The era has arrived, the future is now !
