True Father has emphasized the importance for blessed children of their participation in the Cheongpyeong 40-day workshop, at least three times prior to their blessing.

The workshop schedule for this summer has been arranged so as to enable international blessed children (all blessed children living outside of Korea and Japan) to attend the Cheongpyeong 40- and 21-day workshops during the summer holidays. The schedule is as listed below.

Please make this schedule widely known so that as many 2nd and 3rd generation members as possible can participate together this summer.

Please note that this official memo is intended for members living outside of Korea and Japan.

1. Schedule for the Cheongpyeong Workshops for International Blessed Children:

* It is strongly recommended that those blessed children in junior high school participate in the 21-day workshop, but if the child strongly wishes to attend the 40-day workshop, please contact international office or the USA Headquarters’ Education Department Office(If you are from USA) beforehand.

** If a blessed child (in junior high school or high school) completes two 21-day workshops (one this time and one before, or one this time and one at a later time), they can receive a 40-day workshop certificate at the end of their second 21-day workshop.

Checks should be made out to HSA-UWC CSC and $8 needs to be added for a processing fee. If the check is over $1000 (workshop fee for 2 people), a $10 fee needs to be added. Travelers checks are the same as cash.

6. Important points to keep in mind:

 

1) Members must start the 40-day (21-day) Workshop within 7 days from the official workshop starting date. If they arrive late they must extend their participation in the workshop by the number of days they are late.

 

2) You may arrive 1 or 2 days early, but must stay until July 27 to complete the 1st 21-day workshop and until August 15 to complete the 40-day workshop or 2nd 21-day workshop.

 

3) The official workshop schedule ends at noon of the 40th/21st day. Please do not reserve plane tickets which require you to leave the training center prior to this time. It is recommended that 40-day workshop participants leave the following day (Aug 16) at the earliest.

 

4) Members who are psychologically or spiritually or behaviorally challenged must first consult with Rev. Kim Dong Bae. If permission is granted, he or she may register only if accompanied by a caregiver. (Please keep in mind that if permission is not granted, or if a caregiver does not come, such an individual may be asked to return home.)

 

5) Even though you complete the workshop, if your attitude during participation does not meet the workshop standards, you may not be able to receive the graduation certificate. In this case, you can receive the certificate after participating satisfactorily in any other 40-day or 21-day workshop (only summer season).

 

6) If you do not follow the workshop standards habitually and consistently, you may be asked to return home.    

 

7) International blessed children, living outside of Korea and Japan, age 16 and above can participate in the liberation ceremony and blessing ceremony for their parents’ ancestors.

 

8) As of the 71st workshop, 40-day workshop participants who register for the ancestor liberation ceremony are also required to pay the 2-day workshop registration fee of 25,000 won per group of seven generations. (However, the registration fee for the ancestor blessing ceremony is 25,000 won regardless of the number of generations.)

 

9) Members coming to Korea from abroad must usually obtain a 90-day visa, before coming to the workshop. (Members in the USA and most of Europe do not need VISA). The Training Center cannot acquire or extend visas for you. If your visa expires while you are in Korea, the immigration office will charge you a penalty of $100 US per month and your name will be placed on a “black” list.

 

10) Members coming to Korea from abroad must be sure to purchase traveler’s insurance. Before you obtain any insurance, please consult with the Insurance Company to ensure that it can be used in South Korea.

      Please contact the Patient Affairs Department of CheongShim International Medical Center, (+82-31-589-4641) for more information.

7. Transportation between airport and the training center:

For the summer second generation only we will make a list of those who need transportation from the airport and to the airport and we will forward that list to the Seil Tour travel agency. Seil Tour is the one in charge with the actual transportation, however we’ve decided to mediate between trainees and the Seil Tour, in order to have the certainty that everything is clear for the both parties. Here are the procedures:

1. Please send an e-mail to treeofblessing@hotmail.com  (Christian or Sachika) letting us know how are you planning to come from the airport. If you already wrote on the application forms the flight details, we will get it from there. If not, please let us know the following:

Arrival	Date:	Time:	Flight no:
Departure	Date:	Time:	Flight no:

 

2.       After the list is completed we will let Seil Tour know how many pick ups are there to be made every day.

 

3.       They will let us know the meeting point where their staff will be waiting wearing “Seil Tour” printed colored jackets.

 

4.       We will post that info on the website and you can read it from there.

Note.  The price varies depending on the number of passengers and the dollar – won exchange rate. The usual price is around $25. For any questions please feel free to send an e-mail or call 82-31-589-7179 (8 am ~ 6 pm Korean time).
