Sedona and Verde Valley residents and tourists are invited to Sedona Mago Retreat Center’s 10th Anniversary Festival, highlighted by Ilchi Lee’s “Brain Education for Successful Aging” lecture, May 25 (Sunday), 2008, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Memorial Day weekend).

With its unique natural beauty and vortex-energy amid Coconino National Forest, the 160-acre Sedona Mago Retreat Center in its 10 years of operation has created an ideal environment for the renewal, training, and healing of its more than 3,000 guests from all over the world visiting annually.

Innovative holistic training programs have been designed to enhance health, happiness and peace, based on the Brain Education System Training (BEST) methods developed by Ilchi Lee.

Sedona Mago Retreat Center (“Mago” means “Mother Earth” in Korean) is owned by the Tao Fellowship, a nonprofit educational foundation, committed to “love of humanity and love of the Earth.”

The 10th Anniversary Festival includes these activities:

    • Arrival by one’s own vehicle or on a free shuttle van from Mago Information House (at Bill Gray Road and Highway 89A).
    • Check-in at the Welcome House, from 10:00 AM-1:45 PM.
    • Guided walking tours of Healing Garden, rainwater-filled lake and ponds, and vortex sites, 11:00-11:30 AM and 4:30-5:00 PM.
    • Free buffet lunch, Dining Hall, at either the 11:45 AM-12:30 PM or 12:30-1:15 PM seating.
    • Entertainment by Korean Power Drummers and DahnMuDo self-empowerment martial artists, Mago Hall, 1:30-1:50 PM.
    • Showing of videotape, “The Story of Sedona Mago Retreat Center,” Mago Hall, 1:50-2:00 PM.
    • As the Retreat Center’s founder, Ilchi Lee will lecture and lead experiential exercises on “Brain Education for Successful Aging,” Mago Hall, 2:00-4:00 PM.

Lee’s lecture will explain how the brain can remain fit after 50 in order to produce physical health, mental functioning, and inner peace. It is a matter of choosing to make the commitment to change. Several simple and practical techniques for feeling and acting younger will be demonstrated.

The lecture is an extension of the new book “In Full Bloom: A Brain Education Guide for Successful Aging,” by Lee and Jessie Jones, Ph.D., which is available from Amazon.com.

After parking on the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church’s lot, the vans leave from Mago Information House (Bill Gray Road and Highway 89A) for a 30-minute scenic ride.

Shuttle riders are requested to reserve seats and one of two departure times. The vans (50-seat capacity) leave at 10:00 and 11:30 AM. At the Festival’s end, the vans depart the Retreat Center’s Welcome House, at 4:30 PM and 5:50 PM.
