A greater power flowing
through me

Nov 2024 | Dignity for all beings

I have just returned from Reawaken London. Attending due to the giving of others. The generosity of a beautiful being for financial support. The giving of time and words from an amazing friend who nominated me and the giving of an opportunity to be there, to open and receive fully from Jacqueline and her team. And so much kindness, care and love." ..."So much is intensifying, deepening and with the October SIR and now two days of Reawaken London, the Reboots, (both present and past) and revisiting [the] Silent Immersion Retreat writings and videos, all have deeper meaning. It is much like there is this massive puzzle – I have put together a few pieces here and there and set each portion aside. Now those bits are coming together; as they do, there is more meaning, more clarity and I feel stronger, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I feel a greater power flowing through me. I feel brighter, bigger, more steady on my feet and much peace, love and courage.

The animals are way more playful, more relaxed.

At this moment Peteasy has 42 cats and 7 dogs under our care. On April 28, 2024 due to a fire caused by street electricity, our shelter house caught fire, and we tragically lost 10 of our cats. This has been extremely difficult for us, especially mentally and also in our search for a new home. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your tremendous support, which felt like a lifeline during that challenging time." One observer commented: "They could get a home because of your donation. Prices went up and they couldn’t find anything… it was a very desperate situation them sitting homeless with 30 cats and 5 dogs out of the blue. And they put them in animal hotels temporarily but that was very expensive by the day and gave a lot of stress to the animals. The moment you donated, they immediately found a house with owners who were OK to let so many animals live. Now they have a way bigger house, a decent house, clean, proper maintained, proper basic facilities to be in. Good owners. And the animals are way more playful, more relaxed and the ladies could finally have their own space for the first time for them to sleep. Now it seems they all, including the animals, are way happier. It was a hopeless situation and a bit dead-end and your donation shifted that. It was not only the money but also right timing and the catalyst for them psychologically with that donation.

Imagine my total elation!

Back in August, a very kind member of the purification space offered to fund a person's travel expenses to attend Reawaken London. Others in the purification space then contributed too, including Jacqueline, to give another the chance to be at the in-person event. We received many nominations and choosing was extremely hard! Here's what the 2 people we selected said when they heard they would be supported: "Imagine my total elation when I found out that my dear friend nominated me and that I was selected to receive because of your generosity! Tears of joy, wonder and gratitude! I thank you again." ... and ... "My sincere gratitude goes out to the people who made it possible for me to go to London: all people who nominated me, and of course dear Jacqueline and her team! It is such a great Gift to be able to attend live. I am very excited to join the event and looking forward to meet everyone. Feeling humble, loved and cared for by this wonderful community, thank you!"

I felt truly heard for the
very first time.

Sep 2024 | Media, creative & technology

I had been looking for funding for my Finland painting trip for a good few months. When I received the donation from Oracle Girl I felt truly heard for the very first time. But also the courage to use this experience to really step forward with my gifts into a world that seems either bent on destroying it for us all or people who felt powerless to do anything. When I heard OG talking about "stepping up" and not hiding away, I felt my Finland painting experience had given me a voice. My story is about "water", and I will use that deep connection to it to express a sense of our own human power in these incredible times. 

This was just the beginning.

Aug 2024 | Dignity for all beings

I founded an organization a couple of years ago because of my special needs son, and last year we received a donation from your team that really inspired me, as I was on the edge of letting it all go. I realized it got sidetracked and had best return to the impulse it was born from: giving more space to the purity in us all, that most special needs people remind us of as well. So this April we had an event where a lovely group gathered to share what purity and the Freedom of the Fool mean to us, then we had a free dance session and Tibetan massage and other touch therapies as well as Wisdom Keeper stories to recharge and celebrate the Bonds of Affection. There was even a lottery and people won further such moments. This was just the beginning ~ Thank you!

I feel blessed. Thank you.

Some years ago I came across the purification space. It immediately resonated very deeply. During one event, I heard: start growing your own food. It struck a deep chord in me, my body instructions went: that is for me! So I connected with local people who were growing healthy food and restoring the damaged soil. This sparked an intense journey where I dedicated all my free time, talents and energy to launching projects aimed at revitalising our beautiful earth in my wide surroundings and inspire others to join in. I deeply engaged and after 2 years, many new initiatives have sprung up in my region. Recently I was touched to learn that I was nominated anonymously to receive a Gift of support, in the Dignity for all beings category. I feel honoured and deeply moved by this. What a gift it is to receive without asking, and how beautiful that apparently members of my community wrote in to demonstrate their care and appreciation for what I offer to the world around me. I feel blessed. Thank you.

You did this!

I had to say thank you for the number of people you have inspired to donate. Thank you again for your recent donation and for posting Child Rescue Nepal on your website. We are receiving many donations because of your retreat in Nepal. This is amazing for our small charity. We truly appreciate your support and you spreading the word about what we do.
