SANGHA Retreat by OCTAVE · SUZHOU CHINA
16-19 April 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, fourth-generation steward of the TPC (Tsao Pao Chee) Group. 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. More than a large-scale gathering, AT ONE IMPACT WEEK is a catalytic platform for collective action. 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.
Here, we move beyond boundaries and silos, coming together to advance a more balanced, meaningful, and flourishing future for humanity.
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 envisions humanity entering a new era of well-being, where businesses lead the change in shaping a global economy focused on "well-being and happiness". The principle for well-being is that "we can be well only when everything around us is well."
He believes that business must be a force for good, love in action and can shape the new well-being economy in partnership with public and philanthropy sectors. This world is calling, and the field is ready—this is his reason for initiating AT ONE IMPACT WEEK, for he knows he cannot do this alone!
This year we explore the Eastern pathway of this transformation. We believe that practices rooted in ancient wisdom, social responsibility, and modern innovation—from green finance and resilient communities to future education—are revealing the true nature of prosperity: one that does not arise from competition, but from regeneration, collaboration, and a deep care for life.
Guided by the spirit of Oneness (AT ONE), we integrate moral purpose into the design of systems and actions, ranging from the well-being economy and impact investing to the building of communities of well-being. This reflects not only material progress, but also the harmonious coexistence of spiritual abundance and ecological renewal—recognizing that meaningful evolution ultimately returns to care for life.
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.
AT ONE IMPACT WEEK CHINA 2026 is more than a gathering – it’s a living space for collaboration, where business, capital, and community converge to turn bold ideas into shared action.
That shared commitment comes to life across Six Pillars of the Well-being Economy – the strategic arenas where deep change must happen:

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.
