PROJECT M.A.R.S. together with Teacher Jon Jandai & Teacher Peggy from
This year, our dear teacher came back to Penang together with his wife, Teacher Peggy. The topic was different — not only about nature, but also about relationship, family, and community. It felt even more special, because they shared the part of their lives that we rarely get to hear.
It was such a precious moment as our teachers opened up about their private life at home. They shared how personal wellbeing directly influences our family and the community around us. Teacher Jon spoke honestly about growing up with a father who had a very strong, almost “dictator-like” character, and how that experience still reminds him to stay mindful of those old habits within himself.
Teacher Peggy, as a mother navigating different cultures and language, shared her journey of finding balance and understanding. Hearing how both of them practise shared power, mutual respect, and gentle communication in their daily life truly touched our hearts.
We are so grateful for this opportunity to learn from their deep insights — a side of their life they rarely speak about publicly.
“Harmony begins at home.”
This session reminded us again that when our home is a place of understanding, healing, and patience, it naturally extends to the people around us and to the community we are building together.
Thank you so much to all the participants, thank you for hosting us for this special session. Thank you so much Thum for this wonderful photo session.
