Across the globe, countless individuals and organizations are joining hands to cultivate an equitable, inclusive, compassionate and diverse society. However, good intentions alone aren’t enough. Many meaningful social initiatives struggle to sustain and create their impact.
Recognizing these gaps, Place of Possibilities (POP) was born with the mission: “Empowering change-makers to make their journey more effective and joyful.”
POP is built on values of gifting, connection, and community—a space where communities are co-created to grow holistically and harmoniously. It focuses on re-establishing diverse connections: between the individual and the self, the community, and nature. Ultimately, POP works with local communities to create alternative lifestyles where connection and belonging are the foundation, and spiritual, ecological, and communal practices are the core values.
POP drives social movements through both short-term and long-term approaches:

This session focuses on the heart of community development. Pratul will engage with members on:
Pratul Jain - Founder of Place of Possibilities and Community Facilitator.
Pratul is an explorer and experimenter at heart. Once a successful fashion entrepreneur with significant material success, he grew curious about how people define happiness, wealth, and development.
In 2011, Pratul decided to sell and donate all his possessions, carrying only the essentials to travel the world without money or a phone. His journey has been as diverse as it is grounded: from driving rickshaws and working in local eateries in India, building igloos in Norway, and walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, to living with Amazonian tribes and joining conservation projects in Madagascar. After 14 years and 140+ countries, POP is the crystallization of his life’s journey—a platform to connect what he gathered from the road back to the world.
Inspired by the Vietnamese word “Nếp”—referring to the inherent patterns of culture, habits, and daily life—Vcil Community initiated Nếp Mới (New Patterns) to nurture new ways of living that prioritize sustainable happiness and authentic wealth. This space helps us unlearn outdated patterns, learn from collective wisdom, and reimagine how we live and connect.
New Ways will invite scholars, experts, and people with practical experience to share about essential and familiar topics in life
