The S.O.U.L. Picnic gathered 14 participants, including 8 new guests, for a day of reflection, fellowship, and fun in nature. Through Hoon Dok Hae, self-reflection, creative activities, and heartfelt sharing, participants quickly built meaningful connections. Despite many meeting for the first time, the atmosphere became warm and welcoming, with returning guests naturally supporting newcomers and everyone enjoying both joyful moments and deeper conversations about God and spirituality. 

Core Message: Human beings were originally born from God’s love. We came into existence because of love. God created us by staking all of His life, love, and hope. Ultimately, when it comes to the relationship between God and human beings, we can call it total investment, unconditional investment. He invested one hundred percent into us.

Program Flow: Opening – Introduction – Ice Breaker – Reflection on last week – Letter for me – Drawing time – Message Cards – Group Picture – Closing

Reflection: The picnic was very fun, heartwarming, and deeply meaningful. The activities were well thought out, and the MCs did a great job guiding the time. I especially loved the concept of writing down my stress—it made me feel much less ‘heavy’ and more relieved. The food was excellent too! Even though a bit more sunshine would have been perfect, it was overall a wonderful and enjoyable time.
