Cathy Blanc is a physician. Meeting Sogyal Rinpoche in 1988 and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche in 1990 were two major turning points in her life. She immediately became involved in study and practice in Rigpa. Cathy then followed several training programmes to become an instructor, a senior instructor and a spiritual care trainer in order to serve in France and Belgium. In 1993 Cathy created Ecoé (ex Tonglen). Through this association, she brings Buddhist meditation and wisdom to care for people going through crises, or at the end of life, as well as to support social and health care professionals.
