While it has not yet been formally announced, some of you will be aware of the impending visit by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brisbane next June. This is a huge, albeit brief, event for the whole Karuna family and we do hope, and intend, that everyone is able to attend at least one of the events that are currently being planned. Perhaps you want to mark the date in your diary - Wednesday June 13 2007.
The Steering Committee will be calling for volunteers to assist with the Brisbane visit over the coming months. Current team members are very excited and honoured to be involved in this special time and very much look forward to welcoming others to the team.
CALLING for assistance. At this early stage, we are seeking to make contact with those who might assist with kindness-related community activities connected to the visit. We are planning some activities to engage the Brisbane, and wider Queensland, community around the idea of kindness, so integral to the teachings of His Holiness. We are taking an inclusive approach and working towards involving school children and the broader community in actions arising from a kind heart.
In particular, right now we are looking for a small band of savvy helpers who may offer the benefit of their knowledge as teachers (current and ex), journalists (current and ex), IT or eventsplanning people. We also need someone with some good organizational skills who has time to assist with co-ordination. Please contact us for more details.
