Today, I am hopeful about the future. Karuna-Shechen has managed to preserve the spirit of its origins while adapting to the challenges of our time. We owe this vitality to the generosity and dedication of all those who keep Karuna alive and help it grow: friends, benefactors, partners, volunteers, and staff.
