History of GiftAndThePropertyOfMovement|
Tracy told the story of working with wealthy women, how in talking with them how the feeling of isolation came up within the five minutes of the conversation beginning. She talked about how one of the benefits of philanthropy is that it teaches empathy, an antidote to to narcissim and isolation. When we reach out, it opens our hearts, empathy and pocketbooks. She mentioned the author, Geneviere Vaughn and her book, For Giving and Ted Mallon's book, The Journey to Masterful Philanthropy. In Ted Mallon's book he tells how, after an experience of being struck by lightning, he changed his way of thinking to include using vibrational energy when making decisions. Spiritual sources - how do we source our giving and philanthropy. |

Chris' daughter Aine gave hiom a rock one afternoon on a beach. Receiving the gift of the rock, Chris placed it in his pocket and carried it with him to New Zealand. After working at conference with Maori organizations, a community Elder expressed her gratitude to Chris for his work. To honour her he gave Aine's rock to the Elder. She received the gift and returned several hours later with a poumanou taonga, a Maori necklace made from jade. The Elder, Auntie Julie, asked that the taonga be taken to Aine. When Chris gave his daughter the necklace, it completed a connection between her and Auntie Julie that continues to nourish her curiosity. It was observed that if the gift had stopped when Aine gave Chris the rock, none of those connections would have been made, and the boundaries that were transcended by the movementof the gift would still be with us. |
