【Speaker Introduction】
Om lived and worked as a facilitator at Wongsanit Ashram, a socially engaged spiritual community, for nine years, and later at the Panya Permaculture project, both in Thailand. She helped create the Next Generation of Global Ecovillage Network of Asia & Oceania (NextGENOA) and is currently mentoring young leaders of the network. She has facilitated courses in many countries for NGO workers, young Buddhists activists, international students and children. She uses participatory teaching methods, and her focus is on deep ecology and nature connection. She founded Gaia Ashram with her partner in 2012. Now she divides her time between teaching, managing the Gaia Ashram project and taking care of her children.

【Facilitator Introduction】
Our facilitator for this online talk will be Szeman, the Senior Education Officer responsible for the Kadoorie Earth Programme. Szeman is eager to explore the relationship between humans and nature with our speaker Om and all of you.

【Talk Introduction】
Om's talk explores the insights and inspiration that drew her to explore the deep connection with the more-than-human world, various natural elements and non-physical, subtle realms such as consciousness, energy fields and intuitive intelligence.
 
She also shares how Gaia Ashram is building its culture and education programmes based on this concept of co-existence and co-creation in the community of all beings of which humans are a part of. This sharing includes practical guides for connections with nature.
