Hey Everyone!
Our heartfelt concern and our caring is for something quite astounding, if geographically quite far away for many of us:
Our new foundation wants to bring people together from all over the world in efforts to help:
Often called the “roof” of the earth, for many hundreds of years the lower and higher Himalayas have harbored bodies of human wisdom that can help to smoothen many of our contemporary, global issues today.
There’s a special feeling of intriguing innocence and originality – not just in nature but also in the interpersonal culture. That’s the way people are oriented toward each other and towards life as such. Again and again, it has a profound effect on virtually every being setting their feet onto this region. No matter their background. It is so moving simply because it’s quite tangible. And because its authentic. It is rooted in hundreds of years of how people lived, communicated, thought and acted. It’s transpired by wisdom – something our world needs today more than anything else.
Our dream is to make this a solid reality:
Young people growing up [amid the innocence of this region] [there] should have every chance to benefit from modern, more science-related education including decent English language training. And at the same time, benefit equally from the alive conveyance of ancient and still well-alive traditions of the science of the “inner”. Or of attaining the sharpness, intelligence and dignity of a genuinely calm mind [and positive emotionality] – in which creativity, intelligence and basic goodness can flourish in the most promising auspicious ways. That part of human education (somewhat endangered today) is based on thousands of years of alive wisdom, [shared*] by a number of philosophies and ”religions”. They’ve been passed on from generation to generation – and so are still available and alive today. The only (at least remotely) comparable phenomenon in the West has happened in ancient Greek with its various schools of philosophy.

“It’s very gratifying to be able to do something about 21st-century education within one of the world’s most actively peaceful cultures — and in/for a world that needs mega tons more harmony. And the wisdom how to attain it”
— Dr. Thomas Lauda
THE ONLY TIME TO ACT IS NOW
How to support us
If you come to like our ideas, projects, activities and vibe – as soon as our projects will start having hands and feet, you will be ever so welcome to join in for 2 to many more weeks, to (yes, delve/soak fill your lungs with pure Himalayan air), but also to learn from that ancient, and in some ways so tremendously successful culture and philosophy. And see for yourselves, whether there would be any elements you may want to experiment with in your private life as well once back in your (e.g. Western) surroundings.
Future Developments
While not being hugely extensive, this website shows our ideas, intents and matters close to our hearts. There is a page explaining how to donate to us, for kind souls wishing to do so already.
You can find it here.
Regarding future developments, we plan on, e.g. adding pictures that better represent our goal of building schools (children / school photos). Making payment methods (like Paypal or credit/debit cards) available at no or low cost to donors would also be a great addition that we are exploring at this time.
We are always open for suggestions and ideas, and if you wish to share yours, please contact us via our contact form.
