It is my great pleasure to inform you about the upcoming blessing Workshops in Europe.

Especially during this time when the True Parents have taken responsibility to conduct matchings and Blessings for the Second Generation it is important, that we are well informed and prepared to attend our True Parents and prepare well for receiving the blessing. As parents will also continue to do matchings it is important to understand well how we can fulfill this responsibility and set a tradition of matching our children in accordance with True Parents guidance and tradition.

This time we will have 2 separate WSs, one in Austria From November 1. -- 4. In German and one in UK Nov. 8. -- 11. In English.

At this WS we also want to offer participants who are in the process of preparing to go to the Blessing the possibility of making Blessing Pictures. If you want to use this opportunity, please prepare nice clothes and 20 Euros. You will receive a print out and a digital copy.
