After hosting virtual events for over thirteen months, CARP Las Vegas members and participants were elated to host an in-person Summer 21-Day workshop. Some participants completed the first week with the 7-day Divine Principle workshop while others, including three brand new participants, completed and graduated from the entire 21-day workshop.
On May 30, 2020, CARP Las Vegas concluded our ten-day virtual workshop, an endeavor utilizing our full investment. Our tradition has been to hold a similar workshop twice a year to end each semester together, but this semester our workshop was more important than ever before. With the many challenges facing our society and world, CARP wanted to be a source of inspiration and hope for all of our members, and it was vital that we could end the semester strongly. Through the hard work of the core members of CARP LV and through the participation and efforts of all of the attendees, the first ten-day workshop of CARP LV was a complete success.
On Saturday, November 2nd, over 170 attendees gathered to take a stand for a life of sexual integrity at CARP Las Vegas’s 5th Campus Talk: You Are Worth More at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Student Union Ballroom.
Although this Campus Talk was about standing firmly for sexual integrity, the spirit of the conference was very inviting and friendly, regardless if participants completely resonated with the perspectives being offered. That being said, in a collegiate environment where it is difficult to stand up for certain values, Campus Talk was a great place to gain conviction and stand together.
On October 19th, CARP Las Vegas hosted a one day retreat with the theme, “You Are Worth More.” There were four new guests, two community members, and ten CARP members in attendance.
In preparation for their upcoming Campus Talk event, the theme was to convey the message that the lives we live are meant to be so much more than what we can imagine.
“I realized that I was guided by God a lot in my life. This is not a new realization from this retreat but thinking about the reason that God guided me here is important.” - Tadakuni Sakamoto, first year CARP member
From September 20th to 21st, CARP Las Vegas held their first two day retreat for this semester. For the first time, instead of inviting a guest speaker, CARP members gave the presentations during the retreat. With Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon (Mother Moon), Founder of CARP, placing a strong emphasis on the education of youth, CARP Las Vegas’s Director, Mr. Akira Watanabe, felt it was time for the students to practice becoming educators and to achieve a level of proficiency by the time they graduate.
