DEAN Foundation: Our Beginnings & Journey in Palliative Care

OUR BEGINNINGS

On 9 March 1998, the three came together to lay the Foundation; the Trust was formally registered, as DEAN Foundation, an acronym for 'To Dignify and Empower the Ailing and the Needy'. The logo chosen was a spinning wheel of light, of life, of hope. The symbol this wheel stood for – that which is without a beginning or an end, the eternal cycle of birth and death, that we are in every moment, no matter what the circumstance, a perfect and eternal expression of the divine source. The wondrous shift from the physical reality to the new frequency is glorious in its light, separate from no one and nothing. The spokes in the wheel stand for the myriad expressions of life in different time locks. The movement of the wheel signifies that there is no end to life.
