Modern medical systems are straining under the pressure the demands from those facing life threatening illnesses and antiquated system of impersonal reductionism.  Without an integrative, holistic approach, powerful human potential and individual needs are totally ignored.  As society shifts its focus to newer models of health care, mountains of conflicting information about how to approach health and sickness can leave people confused and frustrated rather than empowered and revitalized.

in the service of individual, community and planet

The goals of Fortunate Blessings Foundation (FBF) are aligned with the emerging, unifying trend toward wholeness and connection.  While the Foundation's initiatives vary widely, they are all founded on the conviction that what we commonly experience as "inner" and "outer" worlds are really one.  Disharmony, fragmentation and malaise appear widespread creating ripples of suffering that impact us psychologically, environmentally, socially and spiritually.  However, people from all walks of life are increasingly recognizing our interconnectedness with each other, our environment, our connection with other species and even with past and future generations. 

For more than four decades, FBF has offered a variety of seminars, workshops and individual services in the field of integrative medicine, cutting edge health approaches, mind-body approaches to stress, distress and trauma relief, issues focused on social justice and women’s and children’s rights, personal transformation and sustainable ecological practices. FBF works regularly with grass roots groups all over the world to end suffering of humans and all species, and to bring about a change in consciousness toward a goal of one peaceful world. For example, one initiative, Caring for the Caregiver, has trained caregivers to meet increasing pressures in clinical settings and as first responders; another, the Silent Oceans Trust, saved thousands of whales and dolphins from the damage caused by low-frequency sonar in the oceans.

In many hospitals and healthcare settings, in spite of the presence of compassionate and caring personnel, seriously ill and dying patients are often left with unmet needs.  We seek to give more attention to our relationship with the environment and the quality of our inner life at this delicate time.

Our programs directly servicing schools, hospitals, social service agencies, first responders, parents and many more create a ripple effect, ultimately forging a broader community that is built on resilience and care.

As global climate change is a pressing reality, sustainable and ecologically conscientious lifestyles are critical and necessary.  Our goal is to heighten public awareness on environmental issues, promote compassionate service to our neighbors -- both human and nonhuman -- and take action to support the sustainability of the processes and systems of the natural world.  It is our belief that a sustainably designed world should aid us to integrate our inner and outer realities; to this end, we support stress-reducing interior design and landscaping, energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies, and, ultimately, sustainable economies, organic agriculture, and ecological conservation.
