On February 10, 2008 (Sunday) the ShinJin program core group held its monthly meeting at The Peacemakers' Circle office in Quezon City.
Present were: 1) Toots F.; 2) Norma C.; 3) Orlan D.; 4) Queen F; and Rio L. who brought along her grand daughter and 3-time mandala workshop attendee, Mia.The group started with the prayer session, beginning with the declaration of the Creed ("How Man Should Reveal His Inner Self"); followed by a special In performed by Norma (NanaMaru), then a ten-minute Touitsu meditation. Seven Kokyoho Ins were then performed, followed by Prayers of Gratitude to Nature and declaration of the 49 Bright Words.
The session then proceeded with discussions on some organizational matters. Some of the decisions include establishing a "buddy-system" to support and follow-up on the on-going ShinJin training program participants; and having a special Divinity-In workshop session (simultaneous to the monthly Mandala-IN introductory workshop) once every three months. This is to support the growth and establishment of the progressive levels of mandala-writing-- which is hoped to lead to encouragement into the ShinJin program.
