Easter -Spring practice! 2015

Springtime arrived to the already warm and dry 2015's SF! It comes with flowers blossoming and plants growing fresh, with egg hunts, and most importantly, a visit from the Easter Eunny! The Bunny reminds you all of the beauty, joy and peace of the Easter season.

2014 Elderly's home "KOKORO " Volunteering performance!

It's been already 3 years that we are volunteering the Christmas performance at Kokoro.

 

I really want to say a big Thank You for your participation in and your efforts towards this performance.

Everyone has a very complicated schedule before the holidays. So I really appreciate this.

 

All that dedication and energy translates into an act of unconditional love to the seniors. Bringing this moment of joy to them will reflect back, and if you take it purely, will open up your life's expansion that much.

 

The day of the show, the smiles the seniors gave us were priceless. We handed 100 flowers to them, their care givers and everyone involved...

I really want to thank you all to be a part of this event every year! To bring love, joy, and incredible smiles to the senior audience who otherwise wont have much opportunities to experience it.

2014, we had a great time with them and we will be back to bring a new very special gift to them.

Lastly I would like to place this wonderful word as below. This word is representing  what is  foundation of our volunteering performance and what should be all of our life.

Most fantastic thing was she got  great friends have  compassion in this group. We are not only taking "just class" and make their high nose. We are a group for growing our mind and spirt together. I hope that everybody aware my hart signal " compassion " without any administrate mind. We are a family and sharing. I share my knowledge to all of them. I am always updated my skill. All of my students will get fresh idea and improve more than "now" in  body, mind and spirit.
