B1G1 exists because businesses have the power to change lives. Simple as that.
So together with B1G1, business owners and their teams make giving a habit by linking their products and services to hundreds of high-impact projects around the world through the magic of B1G1 transaction-based giving. We call it 'embedding giving'.
And it's happening right now, every second, every day and in every way.
So the coffee shop is able to say, ‘Every time you buy our coffee, a child gets access to water’; every time a book gets sold, a tree gets planted; the recruitment company educates kids each time a candidate is placed.
With B1G1 the possibilities are endless, the impact is huge. And it’s so easy to be a part of: www.b1g1.com
Vince Cullen (Hungry Ghost Retreats) is an ex-alcoholic who has been associated with the Wat Thamkrabok monastery in Thailand and Buddhist-oriented drug and alcohol recovery since 1998. Vince founded and has facilitated Fifth Precept Sangha meditation-for-awakening Sit-and-Share meetings in England, Scotland, Ireland, India, Nepal, Thailand and the USA as part of his ongoing teaching of Hungry Ghost Retreats. He is a charter member of the Buddhist Recovery Network.
Vince has completed both the Committed Dharma Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner programmes offered by Gaia House in England. Vince has completed the Mindfulness Teachers Development Programme offered by Bodhi College in Switzerland and the UK. Vince has twice taken temporary ordination in the unique Buddhist tradition practised at Wat Thamkrabok monastery in Thailand. He has previously been a Buddhist Prison Chaplain in both male and female prisons in the UK.
Vince was an alcoholic for much of his adult life; often wanting to have his own pub but as he says “luckily, I never got one!”. Now 22+ years sober, he has acquired ‘The Hilltop’ pub in Carrigahorig, Tipperary with plans to turn it into a residential mindfulness meditation centre renamed ‘Nalagiri House‘; a pub with no beer serving mindfulness to those with a thirst for true happiness.
