Tibet meets Davos.
Buddhism meets Leadership.
Wisdom Health was at Davos WEF Week 2023 with Tibetan Lama Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche, leading daily activations, events, meditation sessions and Dharma teachings
In January 2023, Wisdom Health attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) Week at Davos with Tibetan Lama and Scholar Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche. Together with our incredible partners and sponsors, we helped bring Dharma and Consciousness Leadership to the WEF vibrant ecosystem through a series of events, meditations, teachings, dinners and more. We believe this work is crucial at this time in history. We are leaving inspired and feeling a deep sense of belonging to a growing community of humans who understand that, in order to transform the world around us, we must first transform ourselves.
Throughout the five days of the Annual Meeting, we led events, workshops, meditation practices, Dharma teachings and more, welcoming 250+ attendees. Our decision to invite Rinpoche as a teacher and guide for those seeking consciousness advancement in Davos emerges from the core of our work and intention at Wisdom Health: we exist to remember humans worldwide that we are self-sovereign agents of our own individual and collective consciousness, health and wellbeing. Frederick Tsao, Family Business Steward & Chairman at IMC Pan Asia Alliance Group, says it best: “Consciousness is the Mother of all Capital”.

Peace of Mind: The Ultimate Legacy
On Thursday 19th January, we partnered with Yeswetrust and Top Tier Impact at LAN space to offer the “Heart of Legacy” workshop, giving over 30 participants the opportunity to reflect on leaving peace of mind as the ultimate legacy. It is not the material wealth that we leave behind, but the spiritual merit that we have created and shared through virtuous actions, words and thoughts, that will remain long after we are gone. This is what we can cultivate through meditation: a peace that lasts, a timeless benefit, for generations to come.
