Converging Global Forces for Transformation, Architecting a New Era of Well-being

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.

Our Steward: Chavalit Frederick Tsao and a Century of Heritage

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!

2026 Focus: Cultivating Impact for Flourishing

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.

Recap: The Week in Motion

Join us for a 4-Day Journey of Co-creating Impact

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.

Forum 3 | Intentional Wisdom: Systemic Transformation of Future Education

Event calendar icon 19 Apr 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Town Hall

As traditional education and public health systems remain constrained by industrial-age models of standardisation—treating learning as a unidirectional transfer of facts and care as mere reactive intervention—these fragmented approaches struggle to address the profound shifts of the AI era and global demographic transitions. In response, there is an urgent need to embrace the Eastern epistemology of Gewu Zhizhi (Investigating Things to Extend Knowledge), shifting the logic of social infrastructure from functional maintenance toward systemic awakening. This session explores a profound transformation centred on “Holistic Prosperity”. We examine how education can return to its essence—moving beyond simple knowledge acquisition to the cultivation of mind, character, and systemic thinking. Simultaneously, we explore how well-being systems can evolve from passive cost burdens into lifelong fountains of vitality. As a frontline laboratory for digital integration and demographic change, China is demonstrating a modern transformation rooted in the classical ideals of “Self-cultivation, Family Harmony, State Governance, and Universal Peace”. We shall observe how digital innovation, inclusive institutions, and social capital converge to establish the comprehensive development of the individual as the very foundation of future civilisational resilience.

Closing Fireside Chat | Love as a Bridge between East and West

Event calendar icon 19 Apr 2026, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Town Hall

Having explored the civilisational depth and practical pathways of a Well-being Economy, we arrive at the confluence of our journey. In an era defined by geopolitical fragmentation and compounding challenges, no single civilisation or economy can thrive in isolation. The traditional logic of 'zero-sum games' has reached its limit, depleting our natural resources while fracturing the essential connections of human civilisation. We face an inescapable truth: humanity is not a collection of separate islands, but a deeply coupled and singular living community with a shared destiny. This closing dialogue seeks to reshape the fundamental consensus across Eastern and Western boundaries. Systemic challenges demand a civilisational awakening. To transcend barriers and divisions, we must move beyond short-term calculations, establishing 'Love as Infrastructure'—the ultimate foundation for global governance and transnational collaboration. By gathering leading thinkers and practitioners, we explore how to seamlessly align China’s experience as a 'Regenerative Laboratory' with the collective aspirations of humanity. This is more than a search for cross-sector solutions; it is a collective effort to author the next chapter of human civilisation—returning capital to the service of life and ensuring 'Love' becomes the very fabric of our institutional and economic systems.

Parallel Lab 5 Inner Awakening: Toward a Healing Economy

Event calendar icon 19 Apr 2026, 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Market Plaza

As rising social pressures fuel growing health demands, the healing economy has shed its label as a niche form of emotional consumption and is emerging as a core growth engine—integrating health, technology, and cultural tourism. This session will unpack its underlying logic, exploring how traditional wellness wisdom can be deeply integrated with technological innovation. It will examine the ecosystem reshaping of cross-industry collaboration and the breaking of sector boundaries. More than a shift in service models, this represents a reorientation of economic values—bringing humanity back to the center of growth and infusing prosperity with warmth. It also explores how “inner awakening” can be embedded into business systems, seeking an Eastern path where well-being and economic development coexist and thrive.

Parallel Lab 6 Awaken & Bloom: Female Creativity in the AI Era

Event calendar icon 19 Apr 2026, 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon SANGHA Movement Center

At a time when uncertainty and systemic internal friction have become the norm, traditional mechanistic leadership models—built on one-way extraction and zero-sum competition—are no longer functioning. This session will take a hard-edged, analytical approach to uncover the underlying business logic of “female leadership,” stripping away stereotypes of softness or tokenism, and redefining it as a core resilience asset that enables organizations to navigate across cycles. We will examine how women in the workplace build antifragile “life anchors,” and explore how qualities such as long-termism, empathy, and systems thinking are inherently embedded into the decision-making networks of modern corporate governance. This is not merely a warm conversation about individual awakening; it is an attempt to open-source a new leadership algorithm—one that can hedge risks and enable regenerative prosperity—for businesses and long-term capital facing growth anxiety.

Top 10 Most Common Inappropriate or Unsafe Essential Oil Practices

Event calendar icon 16 Apr 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Connection Room 11

Essential oils are the highly concentrated essence of the botanical world. Their true power lies not in quantity, but in precise, mindful application. This lecture covers the essential principles of safety—including proper dilution and usage methods—while addressing common misconceptions. We invite you to embrace a restrained and sustainable approach, ensuring aromatherapy remains a supportive force for your body and environment, rather than a burden.

TCM Meridian Facial Rejuvenation

Event calendar icon 16 Apr 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon Auditorium

True beauty is an outward reflection of internal flow. By unblocking the meridians, we awaken the skin’s innate self-healing intelligence. Think of gentle facial Gua Sha as "tilling the soil"—softening the tissue along energy pathways to invigorate circulation. Pair this with acupoint massage and liver-soothing herbal teas to dissolve internal stagnation. This is more than skincare; it is a reconciliation with your body. When Qi and blood flow unimpeded, a serene, luminous glow emerges from within—a timeless youthfulness that no years can take away.

Huiyu 432Hz Resonant Frequency-Tuned Sound Healing Lyre Audio Calibration

Event calendar icon 16 Apr 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon The Sanctuary Foyer

Vibration is the foundational fabric of the universe. The 432Hz Huiyu Resonant Lyre emits a frequency that aligns perfectly with the primal rhythms of human breath and heartbeat. It is the "Sound of Life" designed to awaken mind-body harmony. In this immersive experience, breath serves as your guide and meditation as your vessel, allowing 432Hz sound waves to weave into the very core of your consciousness. Through our proprietary "Resonance Breathing," you will calibrate your internal frequency within a collective energy field of 20–40 participants, rebooting your inner equilibrium. Core Values: The Triple-Threat Healing (Breath + Meditation + Sound) 1. Awaken Physical Vitality: Alchemical Breathing & Cellular Renewal Energy Transformation: Harness the 432Hz frequency to inhale nourishing sonic energy and exhale stagnant "Qi" and accumulated fatigue. Deep Cellular Repair: Sonic resonance activates cellular metabolism and clears meridian blockages, effectively relieving muscle stiffness and poor circulation caused by sedentary lifestyles. The State of Lightness: Post-session, the body enters a deep self-healing mode, shedding physical heaviness to reclaim natural vitality. 2. Awaken Spiritual Awareness: Mindful Stillness & Clarity A Pure Sanctuary: The lyre’s timbre creates a distraction-free field where breath becomes the bridge to your innermost self. Dissolving Mental Friction: Align your thoughts with the sonic rhythm to perceive emotional ebbs and flows without being swept away by them. Inner Stability: Gain insight into your true needs during deep meditation, liberating yourself from anxiety and fostering unshakable resolve. 3. Awaken Collective Resonance: Shared Synchronicity Unified Energy Field: 20–40 people breathing and meditating in perfect sync create a powerful, contagious field of calm. Dissolving Isolation: Individual rhythms are recalibrated by the sound waves, causing social barriers and feelings of alienation to melt away. Deep Belonging: Drawing strength from the collective, you realize that the path to inner peace is a journey best shared. Why Modern Souls Need a "Mind-Body Reset" Modern life is a relentless assault of fragmented information and high-pressure cycles. Shallow breathing, restless minds, and chronic anxiety are "distress signals" that we have drifted off our natural track. The 432Hz Resonant Lyre, combined with breathwork, offers a tailor-made Realignment Solution: Master the "Anywhere-Anytime" Stillness: Learn the technique to find your center amidst chaos. Instant Recalibration: Whether in a hectic office or daily trivialities, a few minutes of resonant breathing can return you to peace. Living with Ease: Reclaim a clear mind and a nourished body to live your most composed and authentic life.

Mapmarker icon Connection Room5

Celestial Healing Transmission

Event calendar icon 16 Apr 2026, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM (GMT+8:00)
Mapmarker icon The Sanctuary

Asil Toksal serves as a channel, opening a transmission of energy from higher consciousness directly to the participants. This transmission works across the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic-spiritual dimensions of each individual — dissolving what no longer serves, and restoring alignment at a fundamental level. You do not need prior experience to receive this work. You need only the intention to receive, and the willingness to be present.
