< Summer 2026 HARP Seminar (3 days and 2 nights) >
From July 17 to 19, the HARP seminar was held at the Chamarande Education Center in France, bringing together a total of 30 participants (15 participants and 15 staff members) under the theme “Proud to Be Pure Water!”
The first day began with the opening ceremony and an icebreaker session. During the opening ceremony, the importance of preserving purity at this stage of life and gaining a proper understanding of Heavenly Parent and True Parents in order to become proud Pure Water members was emphasized. Participants were encouraged by the reminder that by making prayer a daily habit, they could feel the presence of Heavenly Parent and the True Parents guiding them in the right direction, and thus become proud Pure Water living alongside them. Although this seminar welcomed young people from various countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Luxembourg, the icebreaker quickly helped dispel the shy and tense atmosphere.
On the second day, participants reflected on the reasons for and ways to preserve purity, then took the time to write a letter to their future spouse. Next, during a team video-making activity centered on the themes of true love, living for others, and building genuine brotherly relationships, the participants wrote their own scripts and filmed the scenes, which allowed them to reflect deeply on a life guided by true love. In the evening, a radio talk show on the Blessing took place: listening to the heartfelt testimonies of two young married couples gave the youth the opportunity to seriously reflect on the meaning of the Blessing.
The third day was devoted to learning about the True Parents’ achievements in creating an environment aimed at realizing an ideal world. The final lecture focused on how to pray properly to Heavenly Parent and True Parents. In the afternoon, the “HARP Golden Bell” program was held, building on the content covered in the lectures of the previous two days, allowing participants to review the key points while answering questions. The seminar concluded with a closing ceremony, which included participants filling out evaluation forms, the screening of videos produced by the teams, the presentation of certificates, the screening of the seminar video, the closing message, and the signing of the diplomas. We express our deepest gratitude for having been able to successfully complete these three days and two nights under the guidance and protection of our Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
