WISE at a Crossroad:

The ability to understand and to expound the intricate workings of the mind is no small feat. It requires a profound direct experiential comprehension—a skill not easily attained by all. The abstract nature of the mind, coupled with the ability to guide others along their journey towards realizing their innate mind nature, demands a rare set of talents. Moreover, being able to recognize the shortcomings in those who wish to understand their own mind’s development and guiding them back to the path of clarity is yet another skill altogether. WISE, formerly known as Clove&Clive, has been offering this invaluable gem of wisdom for the past 18 years.

In 2016, WISE took a courageous leap by offering all its courses and retreats free of charge, trusting in the generosity of those who benefit to support our mission financially. However, this reciprocity has not been as forthcoming as hoped due to many who may be unable to fully grasp the depth and significance of the teachings. As WISE enters its eighth year of providing free teachings, the financial challenges have become increasingly evident.

The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 prompted a shift to spreading the sharings on online platforms, allowing individuals from around the world to access our teachings at a time where many were struggling to cope with the distress and challenges of lockdowns, survival of businesses, accessibility to medical care, and etc. Despite many expressing appreciation for the teachings and support at that critical period, the continuous enthusiasm to support WISE’s mission was not as expected.

Now, at a critical juncture, WISE must reluctantly seek support to sustain its invaluable teachings. While the retreat village funding will still be ongoing, priority will be given to the support of WISE. We do not wish to convey a sense of desperation. Instead, we extend a warm heartfelt invitation for you to become an integral part of our team by investing in this invaluable teaching. Your support is not just merely a financial contribution but a collaborative effort to uphold our shared vision and mission.

By joining us in this noble endeavour, you not only play a vital role in ensuring the continuity and survival of our mission but also in the smooth operation of our organization through your generous commitment.

Our genuine mission is to empower each individual to assess their own mind, where the origins of stress begin, and to adopt a holistic mental approach in all aspects of their lives. Whether in communication, relationships, career, health, parenting, or navigating the challenges of youth, understanding the workings of the mind transcends age, race, color, or faith. After all, the nature of the mind is universal.

If you truly feel inspired and motivated to support our noble cause and to participate in a long-term investment aimed at fostering awareness and alleviating suffering, we wholeheartedly welcome you aboard.

Much appreciation and love,
Hor Tuck Loon & Chan Lai Fun
