Please support the Earth Citizen spirit!

Do you have 2 minutes to help save the spirit of Mother Earth?

Near the Dahn Yoga retreat center in Sedona, AZ, we recently opened a public park dedicated to Mago (the Korean term for the Earth Goddess) and promoting the Earth Citizen concept. The park features a beautiful statue of Mago, as well as 7 statues of various peacemakers and spiritual leaders throughout history and from around the world, who stand in a half circle around the globe. They represent the Oneness of all people and our sincere desire of bringing Peace to the Earth. These statues declare to the world that we are all Earth Citizens, regardless of beliefs, ethnicity, gender, or nationality.

The Mago Earth Park, and the Mago Statue in particular, is historical in that it is the first of its kind to represent the spirit of the Earth and its centrality to all human life. However, there are some groups in the neighboring community, specifically a church near the park, who are fighting the Mago Statue and demanding that we take it down because its concept threatens some of their beliefs.

On January 25th, there will be a town council meeting in which the fate of the Mago Statue will be decided. We have to save it, and save the Earth Citizen spirit! You can support it by signing an online petition, that we will present to the council, showing desire from all over America to have a statue dedicated to our Mother Earth.

Please take 2 minutes and sign the petition! Go to http://www.magoearthpark.net/petition/USA to sign.

Thank you so much!

First blog post!

Hello Harvard Dahn Center members, and anyone else out there!

This is Amy writing our first blog post! Sooji and I decided to create a blog for the center so that we can share our hearts with you, and so that more people can start to see what Dahn Yoga is all about. We are very excited to reach out to you more this way :)

Personally I want to share how happy I am to be working here at the Dahn Center. I could not ask for a more fulfilling job. It is so amazing to watch everyone here grow and change themselves - bodies, minds, and spirits - at the same time as I am doing it myself. I feel really lucky to have found this practice and this community.

I am also so grateful for all the support we have received from members in light of the recent CNN news story, in which we were presented through very biased and sensationalized reporting as being a cult. It was a little bit of a scary time for us instructors and the organization, but we were all able to breathe a huge sigh of relief as we realized how much our members and partners support and believe in us and in Dahn Yoga. So thank you so much! And if you are someone out there who has never tried Dahn Yoga, but you are interested in holistic health and self-development, give us a try! We have a lot to share :)

On this blog we will make personal posts as well as let you know about events we are holding at the center, in the Dahn Yoga community, and also through Harvard Square and Cambridge. So check for updates whenever you can!

Also, stop by the center ANY TIME! We are always to happy to see one of your shining faces.

With love,
Amy
