Red Bird Foundation was founded by Paula D'Arcy in 2001 as a non-profit foundation for the purpose of creating learning opportunities to foster personal and spiritual growth for people in need throughout the world. In the United States, the Foundation’s work to date has included prison retreats and talks, evening gatherings at shelters and scholarship support for foreign students, enabling them to receive a higher education in the USA. The Foundation also offers scholarship support to allow those of lower income to attend Paula's retreats.
Here's How the Dream Began:
In 1998, after nearly twenty years of leading retreats and seminars, I had a vision of all that is possible in terms of reaching a wider audience,including the many who presently live in great need. I saw the impact of pain that has never been transformed, as well as the impact of unresolved grief. I also saw what it might mean to have the opportunity to attain new awareness and freedom. That day RED BIRD FOUNDATION was born in my heart. Since its beginning the Foundation has become a means of touching the hearts and lives of those who have limited resources and/or little hope. Most moving of all is the knowledge that our contributions come from hundreds of people who would like to be part of a hands on effort to effect change.
