Caroline and Ilios’ meeting with Matthieu Ricard marked a turning point: the creation of Émergences, founded on the conviction that personal transformation and commitment to the world are inseparable.
For sixteen years, their relationship with Karuna-Shechen has been nourished by friendship, trust and generosity. In this exchange, they discuss the projects that have had a profound impact on them: from women’s literacy programmes to mental health programmes and local initiatives designed with communities in mind.
Their wish for the future is simple and powerful: that Karuna continues to cultivate the confidence that every small action counts, the wonder that opens the door to love, and the compassion in action that cares for the world.
