Announcing: The “YEHA Holiday Heart Warmer”. This is an exciting event happening on Friday December 14 at the Jamaica Plain Center. Hosted by the Boston YEHA/Phoenix Team, they are bringing together Dahn members, friends and family for a heart warming holiday celebration.
The event will include Dahn Mu Do, Dancing, and some special performances by some of The Boston Phoenixes. Before and after the event people will be invited to take part in the Silent Auction. So far the auction will include items from Verizon, Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, Henry Bear Park, Lush, many local artists (framed artwork, holiday cards, handbags), CD’s from Snatam Kaur, Organic Health products, Not Your Average Joe’s, CVS, and more!!! Starbucks will also be generously donating food and refreshments for our event and sending some of their employees to participate. And canned goods will be collected as a donation to The Greater Boston Food Bank.
The proceeds will go to the 302(c) non-profit Dahn Foundation for grants to help future passionate young adults participate in the Phoenix Project. Please come out and celebrate for a good cause!
The Boston Phoenixi are raising funds to support the tuition of the next crop of powerful young earth humans. One way they are doing this is by selling hot packs and Chun Bu Kyung cards at Dahn Centers in the greater Boston area. What great healing gifts for yourself or a loved one! They will also be selling them and other items at the Jamaica Plain Center on December 14th during the DahnMuDo Dance Night from 7:30 to 9:30/10:00 pm.
Do you know what it means to be a Young Earth Human? This is very deep and precious just to think of yourself as one…It means that we are awakened to that fact that we want to know ourselves and heal the earth….and we want to have FUN doing it!!! It is about the earth healing spirit, we do not want to just wander through life, constantly dull and unfulfilled as life just pulls us and we passively fill in the dots and accept the negative information given to us as normal. The Young Earth Human realizes this condition in herslelf and her peers and all the world…so she stands up with courage to listen to her heart…and despite outside negative situations or information…she listens to her heart and grows her true love and confidence inside….THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF A YOUNG EARTH HUMAN…THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF A HONG IK IN GAHN (a person who grows to know themselves deeply and genuinely and to help others).
TAKE THE YEHA CHECK QUIZ:
Am I a human? Do I love this earth because it sustains me? Do I share this earth with many other humans? = YES = I AM A YOUNG EARTH HUMAN!!!…then the last step is just accepting this and naturally you want to AWAKEN to heal and grow ourselves, humanity, and the earth because WE ARE EARTH HUMANS period…that’s it.
Also, we have the huge blessing of having the next Winter Phoenix Project in SEATTLE!!! (1st term Jan. 14-25, 2nd term Feb. 2-13). This is really awesome and deep training for young people about awakening your bodies and minds building up enough confidence and power to for taking amazing action from your heart through outreach opportunities…those who participated last summer can attest…this is truly a unique and deeply healing heart opening opportunity to enhance whatever you are doing with more purpose and passion and power!!!
Let’s shout out and magnify our energy through this blog! What have you been up to (YEHA new or experienced, Pheonixi, anyone)…let’s share! Especially Captains (please share from your heart about what you are CREATING…whether in your center, school, or life in general. Let’s have an awesome time together this fall and share how we have all been doing…whether in Korea, at home, busy, bored, let’s unite our hearts and turn up the heat YEEEAAAYYYAAA!!!
Hy heart races thinking of all of you and I send out sincere ChunJiKiUn through prayers to everyone…and even behind just us there are so many Young Earth Humans just searching to be AWAKENED but do not know the way…when we move our energy forward together, naturally behind each one of us there are 10, 100, 1,000, even more people just like us who are wondering how they can find love in their hearts, these sincere people will come when we make sincere and healing energy together…that is the natural law of the universe.
Please reply with your feelings, if you are interested in the Phoenix Project, or just to say hi! You can always contact me if you have any questions…and keep getting connected at your center through the Masters there. I look forward to seeing you all, let’s fill our hearts with passion! CHUN JI KI UN and heart power to you all…you are brave, you are courageous, you are passionate, let’s put this into ACTION together with ONE MIND…there is no other way.
Love Bobby
