SANGHA Retreat by OCTAVE · SUZHOU
April 16 – 19, 2026
to connect, co-create, and cultivate impact for a flourishing future toward Oneness.
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK is a major international convening initiated by Mr. Chavalit Frederick Tsao. It brings together business leaders, change-makers, philanthropists, and public-sector leaders to re-examine prevailing value systems and co-create new pathways that serve the well-being of life.
It is a living arena where ideas are translated into practice—through the Well-being Economy dialogues, hands-on impact labs, and cultural experiences grounded in the healing arts.
Chavalit Frederick Tsao is the fourth-generation steward of TPC (Tsao Pao Chee), a family business with more than 120 years of history, established in the late 1800s during the Qing Dynasty.
He discovered that the principle behind sustainability is oneness. Our purpose for being is to “Add Value to Life.”
He believes that business must be a force for good. This world is calling, and the field is ready—this is his reason for initiating AT ONE IMPACT WEEK, because he knows he cannot do this alone!
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK | CHINA — The Well-Being Economic Forum and Festival 2026 follows the theme “Cultivating Impact for Flourishing” to explore the Eastern pathway of this transformation.
We sincerely invite you to join hands with us to cultivate sustainable soil, grow positive impact that transcends boundaries, and jointly shape a future grounded in happiness and well-being.
Let capital flow with conscience. Let prosperity restore the Earth. And let human hearts move forward together—guided by trust, purpose, and a shared commitment to life.

This is not only a platform for integrating Eastern and Western wisdom, but also fertile ground for jointly exploring the future direction of a Well-being Economy. We will bring together diverse perspectives and converge them into more holistic Eastern wisdom and practical pathways. Together with century-old inheritors and global actors, we will take part in shaping a shared vision of regenerative prosperity. Through dialogue grounded in consensus, we aim to affirm each participant’s leadership role in advancing impact investing and driving sustainable transformation.
This is a hands-on arena for translating grand narratives into concrete plans, and a key node for connecting cross-border resources and incubating innovative ecosystems. It offers an efficient “social + co-creation” platform where multidimensional interactions enable the direct integration of technology, capital, and brand vision into practical solutions. This is not merely about resource matching, but about deep value integration with future core partners.
Deeply engage in the thematic design of the six transformational pillars, connecting brand led initiatives with global challenges to incubate practical and innovative solutions.
Connect with a precisely curated forum audience of 3,000+ senior decision-makers, invited guests, and industry pioneers to enable effective resource alignment and collaboration.
Integrate real-world cases into the official narrative of the event, creating opportunities for open dialogue and high-value media exposure, while strengthening global brand credibility and influence.
