Attending the dunshyu in Sikkim

Donation protected
Dear friends, I am under no illusions that I am more deserving to receive support than all the other wonderful people who are seeking to attend the dunshyu in Sikkim. This is therefore NOT a begging letter.

However I have a strong wish to attend this event with the intention of dedicating the merit and blessing of that to the fulfilment of Rinpoche's vision for Spiritual Care in the world.

To that end, I have in the past year, with the help of some amazing friends and colleagues, set up CareSpace . This is a social enterprise with the goal of supporting and training professionals in healthcare and social care as well as family caregivers in caring for the sick, bereaved and dying. We also recently opened a beautiful centre in Amsterdam as part of a collective to make our services even more accessible to the public. Please see www.carespace.nl  and www.at10d.nl  for more information (hopefully your browser will translate it from Dutch for you! ;-))

Since we are still in the startup phase I have limited income and diminishing savings to pay for this trip.

If you feel a connection to this enterprise or to me and you feel inspired to contribute an amount large or small, I am very happy to carry your dedications and aspirations with me to Sikkim, to offer a khatak and in any other way represent you at the dunshyu. If not, that is also completely fine. My practice here is to open up to all the possibilities there are without grasping, hope or fear.

Thank you for your time and attention!
May you be happy and well.
Love
Annie Birken
