My experience in the Global Consultation on 'Decent Care Values in Palliative Care Services' in Tunis

Dear friends,



During 12-16 Jan.09 I had an opportunity to attend the WHO- Ford Foundation Global Consultation on 'Decent Care Values in Palliative Care Services' in Tunis, Tunisia. The experience was very interesting so I would like to share it with you.



I assume many friends in this virtual community are new to palliative care and decent care, just like me :-) So please allow me to start with the following excerpt from the consultation’s concept paper:

DAKAR: My Story

I was a bit worried when I got my Dakar itinerary, it would be my first visit to Africa and ….. arrived at 11:55?. I got Meike’s (HIVOS) bunch of emails on some tips in the Dakar airport….do not bring much cash, do not withdraw money at the airport, you have to bargain for the taxy…. hm….confused but excited! It would be my first time joins the Constellation team in facilitating the training outside of my country.



Then, I was lucky enough to have Mukhotib, a participant from… Continue

The Constellation is a Starfish organization

I sit in a packed train from Brussels to Amsterdam passing by snow covered villages in the beautiful Belgian countryside. I am reflecting about a very intense week and pondering how to summarize this in one blog.



It started with two days of reflective action with our multinational Core Facilitation Team (CFT) in Brussels about our ‘business models for the future’. Phil Forth tossed the most important word of the two days: FRACTAL. Like a snowflake consists of all similar snowflake… Continue

The Storytelling in people lives

To some of you I have talked about a project I have put in place 8 months ago with a couple of coleagues. The title of the project is "Healing through our stories: women constructing the historial memory of HIV" and it is about the storytelling, about the capacity we all have to tell our own stories and the healing power of those stories.



It is 10 year now I have started to use folck and fairy tales as a starting point to a deeper reflection on who we are and how we relate to others.… Continue

Developments in 2008

I want to share with you what I see as core developments of the Constellation in the past year. I have been following the progress of the Constellation from the distance and I could see during the SALT visits and the Board Meeting in September that it is becoming a mature movement. I feel really proud of being part of this growing group of people working together for a better world and happier communities.

And thank you to Laurence for being such a "SALTy"… Continue

It is all in the way you look at people

Probably the least inspiring place on beautiful Bali is Kuta Beach: Highly touristic with all side-effects as a deplorable result; a polluted beach, red burnt and drunken Aussies in a Karaoke Bar, prostitution, no room for authentic culture or nature – and the continued fear for another bomb attack that would undo Bali’s current source of income and identity. And then these vendors - omnipresent! Young children, teenagers and mothers with children… Continue

new no-hair

its been two weeks of slump in the philippines, the longest holiday in history (11 days).

Cleaned my junk, and with all the accumulated dust and mess in my house went all the accumulated negative energies and my hair.

I was just in THAT zone this past two weeks, I have this queer (ofcourse) feeling that I need to revisit things and really look into what is important for me and for all the I am ready to mean and for all that I am ready to stand for. so shaved goes the head, ive been… Continue

Bonne Année?

A la Constellation nous célébrons le nouvel an à tellement de dates différentes, selon divers calendriers. Alors pourquoi se réjouir aujourd'hui ? Et quelle raison avons-nous de nous réjouir, entourés que nous sommes par tant de souffrances ? Notre joie ne serait-elle qu’indifférence à la situation difficile de tant de nos voisins?

Pourtant, je suis heureux et reconnaissant. Je vous suis reconnaissant d’avoir décidé de révéler les forces d'autrui plutôt que de s’appesantir sur leurs… Continue

Happy New Year?

Constellation friends celebrate New Year on so many different days of so many different calendars. So why rejoice today? And should we rejoice, surrounded as we are by a sea of human suffering? Does our joy reveal anything else but our indifference to our neighbors’ plight?



Still, I am grateful and happy. I am grateful to all of you who have decided to reveal strength in others rather than to point at their shortcomings. I am grateful to all of you who have adopted AIDS and life… Continue

A reflection on the T in SALT

For some time now I have had a personal discomfort with the T is for Transform in SALT. So I thought I would raise the issue.



I am very comfortable with the idea that as a member of a SALT Team, I Support, I Appreciate, I Learn and I Transfer.



But I do not Transform.



And I do not Transform at 2 levels.



First of all, I do not Transform people. If people are transformed (which I will question later), then they transform themselves. I neither claim nor… Continue
