We would like to share the sad news that Venerable Tsultrim will be leaving Karuna, with her final day being Wednesday 15 April.
Over the past almost six and a half years, Tsultrim has supported hundreds of patients, carers and family members during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
She has led and delivered countless community workshops and has provided guidance and support to many community organisations and hospitals working in the palliative and end of life sectors. Tsultrim also led our ‘What About Death!?’ podcast to help build death literacy in the broader community.
As Karuna’s designated SPC (Spiritual Program Co-ordinator) through our affiliation with FPMT, Tsultrim has represented Karuna both locally and internationally. As a Buddhist nun, she has also been a guiding force for Karuna as a Buddhist based organisation.
Although Tsultrim will be leaving Karuna, we remain committed to maintaining strong connections to our Buddhist foundations through FPMT and FPMT Australia, Venerable Gonpo our Spiritual Care Practitioner and our connections to our fellow FPMT organisations across Australia.
At Karuna, Tsultrim has shaped the way many of us approach our work, particularly in how we hold compassion, reflection and care at the centre of everything we do. Externally, she has been a trusted and deeply respected figure for patients, families, carers, community partners and stakeholders, many of whom have come to associate Karuna with the warmth, safety and insight she consistently brought to her work.
On behalf of everyone, we would like to sincerely thank Tsultrim for her years of dedication and the profound impact she has had on our community and our organisation. Here is a special video message from Venerable Tsultrim…..
