Lynna Chandra

Founder of Rachel House (first children’s palliative care service in Indonesia)

Lynna Chandra established the first children’s palliative care service in Indonesia in 2006, after spending over a decade in the investment banking industry. Driven by the conviction that no child should ever have to live or die in pain, compassion was the underlying foundation of the organization and equitable access its reason for being. The outcome has been the flowering of this fountain of compassion, not just in the care that it provides, but extends far and beyond into the communities.

Lynna has since embarked on a new journey in search of an equitable humane healthcare model to ensure compassionate and excellent care is available and accessible for all, in an economically sustainable way.

She is an Ashoka Fellow and Atlantic Fellow. She serves on the boards of Assisi Hospice (Singapore), Bamboo Capital Management, and Common Purpose Charitable Trust.

Jason Engledoe

Seeker, Social Permaculturist, Storyteller

Jason Engledoe was born in Apartheid South Africa during a year that saw the biggest student uprising that would change the history of the country forever. He is an intrepid traveler and explorer of diverse physical and cultural places around the world as well as the depth of his own being and psyche. He left his beloved birthplace Cape Town at the tender age of 17, in pursuit of identity, belonging, and truth. Jason has lived and is educated in three countries outside of South Africa, including Germany, England, and Taiwan, R.O.C. 

With a diverse background in Education, Entrepreneurship, Martial Arts, International Trade, and Investment Promotion, he now lives in South Africa to be part of the change. After a return to his home country, which has one of the highest gini coefficients (income inequality) in the world, Jason is in pursuit of a new set of skills for transformation — including regenerative agriculture, social permaculture, depth facilitation, co-counseling, deep listening, authentic relating, and collective trauma healing. 

Jason has a strong belief in these powerful leverage points for change in this context which include:

• Agency (self-empowerment)
• An enabling environment for entrepreneurship
• Youth Development

These initiatives need to occur within the container of individual & collective trauma healing, awareness, and compassion.

He is the founder of a Compassionate Listening Circle for men and is in the process of creating a Racial Affinity Group for brown bodies.

Christine Kuhlman, ND

Naturopathic Doctor

Christine Kuhlman, ND: I went into nursing in 1970 and have always been “called,” if you will, to the healing professions. I started out in conventional medicine but always felt an interest toward allowing and fostering the body/mind and spirit to use methods to turn on the body’s natural healing. I became a nurse-midwife in 1976 and, during that career, naturally got drawn into the use of botanical (herbal) medicine and eventually homeopathy, which then led to Naturopathic Medical School. I have been a naturopathic doctor since 1997 and hope to be in practice for years to come because I am so passionate about the healing potential with this knowledge. The word “doctor” in Latin is “docere,” which translates beautifully into “teacher.” That I feel is the essence of who I am. I am happiest when I can help teach and inform others as to their choices for healing and help them gain access to that process; to help them unlock their intuitive healing wisdom.
