3) Organize Local Direct Action Activities such as Distributing Prayer Tablets and Peace Candles, Meeting Monthly for Full Moon Meditations, and Participating in Special Charitable Events
There are many local programs and projects operating under the guidance of Gayuna Cealo which support development of spirituality and inner peace including monthly full moon meditations, heart expo events, distributing prayer tablets and peace candles, organizing local fund raising activities and craft making parties, and other activities where we join together as a community. These programs create bridges between compassionate people locally with like-minded communities of people around the world. All these programs and projects in the US were begun and are maintained by volunteers inspired by the model of Gayuna Cealo's Journey of Compassion, his spiritual development programs, and his works of compassion. The fund raising programs operated in the US support all aspects of Cealo’s Journey.
