Review of New Life Foundation Thailand

This was my fourth visit to New Life and each time...

This was my fourth visit to New Life and each time has been different and special and has brought me a lot. For me the main reason to come back are the wonderful people it attracts. Almost everyone comes here for some kind of healing or because they're interested in a different, happier life. Overall people are very open minded and interested in meeting new people and making genuine connections.

Because everything in New Life is so well organized (in terms of food, accomodation, schedule etc) the community members have time to focus on themselves. To go to workshops, to read, to reflect, to meditate or just go for walks or have a chat. For some it's a place to do some proper work on themselves and deal with their pasts, for others it's a place to reconnect with themselves, others and with nature. It's all possible here but no one leaves this place without a new sense of connection. That being said, it's not all serious and laughter and crying go hand in hand here.

If it sounds like this might be for you, give it a try :) generally you get more out of it if you have more time (at least a few weeks) but even a week can be nice to dip your toes in.
