Sage Gathering marks milestone in ecological living

In a groundbreaking event hosted by Noble Gateway, the inaugural Sage Gathering unfolded on January 21st, signaling a significant milestone in Malaysia’s pursuit of sustainable development and ecological living. The gathering, held at Noble Gateway’s premises, brought together distinguished speakers, enthusiastic advocates, and community members eager to embrace a more sustainable way of life.

Noble Gateway Malaysia, established in 2020, commenced the event with a presentation outlining the vision of the Sage program. The organization emphasized its commitment to building a self-sustaining community through ecological farming. Actively involved in the Beijing International Exchange Association of China Sustainable Development Committee, Noble Gateway underscores the critical relationship between people and nature.

The gathering featured a keynote presentation by Dr. Teresa Chuang from Beijing SDC, who provided global perspectives on the Sage Platform projects and Sustainable Development initiatives. Dr. Chuang’s insights shed light on the interconnectedness of sustainable practices on a global scale.

Eco Village Model

A noteworthy dialogue unfolded between Prof. Dolores and PhD candidate Imran Rautan from the Future Cities Research Institute. They discussed the implementation of the Eco Village Model in Hulu Langat, exemplifying a collaborative effort to explore innovative solutions for sustainable living. Principal Kim of Darul Ta’lim, a nearby nature academy for children, also contributed to the dialogue, expressing commitment to the mission of creating Malaysia’s first ecological village.

In a move towards community engagement, the gathering included a visit to a nearby charity old folks home. Led by Noble Gateway, participants celebrated the vibrant spirit of the upcoming Chinese New Year by bringing joy to local elderly residents with gifts, mouthwatering chicken rice, and a karaoke extravaganza.

Noble Gateway‘s mission to educate people about living sustainably resonated strongly with the attendees. The organization’s efforts aim to create a sanctuary for people to unwind and reconnect with nature, going beyond traditional ecological farming. The dedication to the principles of the Beijing International Exchange Association of China Sustainable Development Committee, dating back to 2005, was evident in their implementation of the Han Wang 7+1 Model. This model emphasizes harvest traditions and connecting with nature to inspire individuals to lead a more sustainable lifestyle towards ecological living in Malaysia.
