An Evening With Gawdland
[ DRAG OPERETTA ]
Bangkok | May 30
Chakaruna presents, “I Belong” Drag Dream: The Journey of Gawdland. This pop musical-inspired act traces Gawdland’s journey from a young dreamer discovering drag to representing Thailand on the international stage.
Blending music, choreography, theatrical storytelling, and fashion runway moments, the performance moves through dreams, struggles, and determination ultimately arriving at a powerful sense of Belonging.
At its core is a belief Gawdland has always held: that they deserve to stand on the stages they dream of.
It is a celebration of perseverance, identity, and the courage to claim the place where you truly Belong.
Bridgewalker Dialogue: Fluidity of Spirit
Digital | August 5th
In this dialogue, Swami Chidananda reflects on the deeper relationship between identity, fluidity, and spiritual truth. Through the lens of dharmic wisdom, the conversation explores how gender and sexuality have long existed beyond rigid categories, not as disruptions, but as expressions of life’s sacred complexity.
Together, we explore a question that echoes across cultures and centuries: what happens when spirituality remembers that the human experience has never been binary?
Moving through philosophy, lived experience, and contemplative inquiry, the dialogue invites us to see identity not as something fixed, but as a living field of consciousness.
In the spirit of Chakaruna, this conversation honors those who move between worlds, between masculine and feminine, tradition and transformation, form and essence.
Belonging Social Club,
InterPride
Phuket | October 30
Chakaruna introduces the Belonging Social Club in Phuket, a gathering held during the InterPride Global Pride Conference, designed to bring people together in a spirit of openness, curiosity, and shared discovery.
We begin the day with Conscious Connections, an invitation to slow down and meet one another beyond surface introductions. Through guided experiences, you reconnect with your inner world while opening space for meaningful encounters with others.
As the day unfolds, keynote conversations and immersive workshops explore identity, spirituality, and the many ways we create community in a changing world.
It is a space to nourish the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life.

Why Chakaruna, Why Now?
SACRED THAILAND
Thailand carries something rare.
Compassion without agenda.
Spirituality without rigidity.
Here, devotion does not seek attention.
It lives in the everyday.
Temples stand beside glass towers.
Ancient rhythms move through modern streets.
It is Belonging as a Way of Being.
CULTURAL MILESTONE
In 2024, Thailand became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage.
Bangkok stands as a global crossroads where tradition and modernity coexist without conflict. Temples rise beside glass towers. Ancient values move through contemporary life.
Full Spectrum Love here is natural.
It is recognized.
Long Held Dignity, Now Affirmed in Law.
PRIDE 2026

The world is ready for inclusion that is lived in the nervous system. For Pride that feels integrated.

An Evolution of Consciousness.
