Mindfulness Project e.V.
A project from Mindfulness Project e.V. in Ubonratana Dam, Thailand
We need your help to create an eco-village and learning centre in the poorest region of rural Thailand. Our aim is to educate westerners and Thai people alike on permaculture and natural building methods to work with nature, not against her.

About this project

Christian C. from Mindfulness Project e.V. is responsible for this project
Mindfulness and sustainable living are about nurturing a deep sense of care and respect
for ourselves, others, and the planet
. By living mindfully and sustainably, we come to
understand that environmental changes flow from personal changes: from our minds and our souls to what we do with our hands. Every time we make such choices, we contribute to a more harmonious and kind world for ourselves and for future generations.

For the past decade, the Mindfulness Project has been welcoming volunteers from all over
the world into their eco-friendly community. In addition to social initiatives and a reforestation project, we have been teaching people how to live more sustainably by educating them on permaculture, natural building, yoga, and meditation.

However, we are now facing a critical situation as the land we are living on has been sold unexpectedly. Without land, the project cannot exist. We are determined to keep it alive and have decided to take a bold step by putting a down payment for our own land in northeast Thailand. Our vision is to build a powerful reforestation, learning, and healing center, and create a new eco-village that sets a standard for holistic living.

Why donate to the Mindfulness Project?
The Mindfulness Project is a revolutionary system aiming to teach and spread sustainable living worldwide. We are a German NGO in collaboration with Thai Buddhist monks, dedicated to distributing 100% of our donations into the community. We are located in Isaan, the most drought-ridden part of Thailand where 98% of the forest has already been destroyed.
We are  creating a community where
we can make a major change. The world needs our help, and the efforts have to come from within.

The Mindfulness Project provides a working retreat where volunteers are immersed in a
healing environment enabling them to transform their lives.
We combine modern scientific methods with ancient philosophies to promote personal
development and healthy living, and teach integrated agriculture, green building, alternative energy, and recycling.

Aims
● Practice sustainable living with international volunteers
Heal hearts, the environment, and our relationships with each other
