In this episode, I sit down with Atùm Sphinx, an American who moved from Miami to Chiang Mai over seven years ago and found his calling in community building through creativity.
Atùm organizes music circles, kirtan practices, and conscious gatherings that bring people together in meaningful ways. He also runs the “Free Culture” Facebook group, which offers open, creative events around Chiang Mai.
We explore:
• How music and creative activities strengthen neighborhoods
• The vision behind building an organic, connected community
• What it takes to set up a lifestyle centered around connection and care
• And even how Atùm uses AI in his life and projects
