We wish to live, learn together & evolve into better human beings. We will do this by building connections and a deep sense of belonging within the broadening heart of our community & Mother Nature.
From this dream, we gave birth to the project AWE that holds space to embrace and emerge more moments of awe in life – when we feel amazed and overwhelmed by either physical or psychological things that bring deep learning and transformation.
We are starting to manifest this in a space called Noong Awe Garden in the Northwest of Vietnam, which is also to honor its old name in local Thai language as Noong Ó (pond of elephant grass).
Mission & Practice
Our intention is to co-create a community space for deepening our personal connection with ourselves, other humans, nature & the great mystery of this life. Our intention is to cultivate a space where we can learn, experiment and sustain a simple, resilient, responsible and eco lifestyle which aims to be in harmony with local people and the environment.
To cultivate spaciousness for personal growth and collective evolution in order to learn, relax, and to connect physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually with ourselves and each other, we consciously design our lives and activities to serve the well-being of the community and the regeneration of the Earth.
- Mind-practices: learn and experiment simple, mindfulness living; learn from local knowledge and learn from nature.
- Body-practices: learn to grow, build, cook, and make craft in diversity with adaptation of local & traditional practices; share holistic practice of meditation, body work and arts.
- Soul-practices: space for self-improvement & connections with compassionate communication, fair decision making, transparency, as well as arts, rituals and celebrations.

Hello,
I am interested in visiting you project. How can I contact you?
Hello, I’m a food sustainability consultant and climate resilience researcher currently travelling the world living with different communities across different cultures, practices and climate challenges, ultimately seeking to understand what resilience looks like at the community level for them (with a major interest in social-structures and food security!).
I will be in Vietnam through March and April and wondered whether it would be possible to have a chat about me visiting you?
I work nomadically running my consultancy whilst travelling but have plenty of time to contribute as an active community member, too!
Hopefully speak soon,
Stephanie

Hello,
My name is Auriane and I am 25 years old. I am french and I have started my trip to Asia in october. Today, I’m in Mang Den and I will go up to the north of Vietnam for befinning of april
In each country during my trip, I want to be volunteer : Meet local people, better understand the culture of the country/region, discover new things, do make myself useful, do things that interest me and correspond to my values…
As far as my skills are concerned, I worked for more than a year in an association where I was able to discover the philosophy of permaculture, some gardening and eco-construction methods… But I worked on management activities in this association.
I also worked in a restaurant as a cook.
And one of the last volunteering in Mongolia, allowed me to teach English to children aged 5 to 11. I really enjoyed this experience with the children, a lot of sharing and learning for me.
Overall, my different experiences have allowed me to develop my ability to adapt. So I will be really happy to come with you !
I’m really interested about your profil because I can adapt at this atmosphere and enjoy this experience. Your project is very inspiring !
I will can stay with you during 1 week from the second week of april.
I remain available for any exchange. I am also on Whatsapp : 33688364881
Have a nice day and see you soon I hope!
Auriane
