New Life Foundation – Cultivate Sustainable Wellbeing

Community for Life

At New Life Foundation, we’re dedicated to helping you rediscover yourself and find meaning in life. Our mindfulness retreat and recovery center is built on a foundation of engaged community living, mindfulness, and integrative care. Whether you’re seeking personal development, combating stress, burnout, anxiety, or compulsive behaviors, our team of mentors, coaches, therapists, and teachers is here to support you on your journey to sustainable wellbeing.

Who We Are

Our work carries on the mission of the New Life Foundation, a non-profit mindful recovery centre established in 2010 in Chiang Rai, Thailand. For over a decade, we offered a residential retreat program for individuals struggling with challenges like stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, and substance use. After the challenges of 2020, we are now on our own journey of renewal as we find innovative ways to continue supporting your wellbeing. As always, our values remain affordability, sustainability, and service.
