Brain Art Festival August 15, 2009
On Saturday, August 15, 2009, I gave an interactive performance at the Brain Art Festival at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. At the festival I demonstrated how each of us can become a brain artist--a person who uses their brain’s vast creative power to make their life a work of art by living to achieve the transformation of their soul and hoping to leave a legacy that contributes to a positive and empowering world vision.
BR Circulation School
Ilchi Lee taught Brain Education to a small group of students on Jeju Island in South Korea in March 2008. He led them in several different types of meditation exercises.
Chunhwawon
The first meditation center Ilchi Lee founded is called Chunhwawon. It's located on a beautiful mountaintop in South Korea.
Moak Mountain
Moak Mountain is the place Ilchi Lee spent about two months in deep ascetic practice, which allowed him to find the answers to the questions, "Who am I? Why am I alive? What is my purpose?"
A Healing Day with Nature
In August 2010, Ilchi Lee spent a day in the Cypress Forest Woodlands in Jangheung, South Korea. This healing forest was rich in phytoncides, which are antimicrobial substances emitted from trees. He also spent some time at nearby Songgwangsa Temple, one of the most famous Korean Buddhist temples.
Visit to Mongolia
In August 2010, Ilchi Lee made a trip to the wilds of Mongolia. Some people believe that the origin of Korea was an ancient kingdom that encompassed what is now Korea, Mongolia, and part of China. This kingdom was ruled by a dynasty called Dahngun Chosun, who established a core philosophy of Hong Ik, or to “widely benefit” for the greater good of all.
Brain Education for Successful Aging Lectures
In 2008, Ilchi Lee toured the United States, South Korea, and Japan sharing his Brain Education techniques for successful aging. The lectures were based on the book he co-authored with Jesse Jones, PhD called In Full Bloom: A Brain Education Guide for Successful Aging. Some of the lectures included Dr. Jones's upbeat insight into successful aging based on her years of expereinces at the Center for Successful Aging at the University of California, Fullerton.

On September 30, 2009, I officiated a renewal of marriage vows in the Healing Garden at Sedona Mago Retreat in Sedona, Arizona.

Calligraphy Exhibition November 11-13, 2011
I love to capture images and phrases with my calligraphy brush while in a meditative state. In such a state, creativity flows naturally. During a calligraphy exhibition at Sedona Mago Retreat, I showed visitors from South Korea my work.

I was impressed by the audience at the Power of Meditation event in Los Angeles. They were open and enthusiastic and I felt like we connected with each other.
