CARP Bay Area hosts Mid-semester UP Retreat

CARP Bay Area hosts Mid-semester UP Retreat

On October 31st to November 3rd, CARP Bay Area spent our Halloween weekend at our well-anticipated three day Unification Principle (UP) Retreat out at Oakhorse Ranch in Valley Springs. The retreat was co-hosted by Family Federation for a Heavenly USA and CARP with the theme “Discover Your True Value.” This retreat gave us, as students, the opportunity to step back from school and our regular day-to-day activities to focus on nurturing our hearts and discovering our life’s true value and purpose. 

“I’m truly satisfied that I made the right decision to be here and to be a part of CARP. Because after every presentation, I can think more positively, feel peace inside and love from the people around me.” - Olivia
