With address by Dadi Janki, President, The Janki Foundation

The National Health Service and health and social care systems around the globe are facing unprecedented change. Care and nursing homes for older people receive routinely negative press attention. A feeling persists that many older people in our western culture are devalued, left out, lonely – without a strong voice.

The ability to show respect and regard and to maintain a way of caring and being which upholds a person’s dignity depends on how we feel inside ourselves.

Are we treating ourselves with dignity?
How can our work of care-giving be infused with a sense of meaning and higher purpose?
How can we enable the spirit of care and its healing presence to be felt?

This talk and experience will offer a rich opportunity to connect with the deepest meaning of dignity and compassion so that respect can be found for ourselves, each other and this precious life.

Guest speaker: Andy Bradley, founder of Frameworks 4 Change is recognised as one of ‘Britains 50 New Radical’ thinkers – his vision is that when we are vulnerable within the health and social care system we should be met with consistent kindness. Having spent time living alongside elders requiring care and support in his family home Andy developed a vision for deep change so that care homes and hospitals can see themselves as thriving humane compassionate communities.

President’s Address: Dadi Janki, President of the Janki Foundation and Administrative Head, Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University.

“The ability to live according to your values, in an unwavering way, depends on how well you have realised your true spiritual identity, and have begun to cultivate that inner state of dignity”
Dadi Janki
