Dr. Yang's Cross-Country Trip
Dr. Yang and a group of volunteer students have arrived and settled in to the YMAA Retreat Center in CA. The five day cross-country trip went smoothly, with stops in Ohio, Iowa, Utah, and CA. Upon arrival in Northern CA, the long process of unpacking the contents of Dr. Yang's entire life began. Work resumed on various projects that have been ongoing, such as clearing land, preparing the training space and lodging, and planting an organic vegetable garden.
Retreat Center candidates and YMAA students will be arriving weekly to join in the training and assist with work needed at the Center, until the Summer Seminar session begins in July.
The 10-Year Training Program begins in August 2008.

| Bay Area Seminar with Dr. Yang
A special weekend seminar in the Bay Area is currently being scheduled for Spring 2008, to personally introduce Dr. Yang to the West coast Internal Arts community. Please contact us with your interest in attending this seminar, or in hosting Dr. Yang for other West coast events.

| Students and Sponsors
 During the next few months, the first group of student candidate finalists will undergo testing by Dr. Yang so he may make his choice by the end of June. During this time, they will experience life in the forest, so that they may decide if they truly wish to spend the next 10 years training at the Center.
As of March 2008, we still need to connect with several more people or organizations that are able to sponsor more students, so that Master Yang may undertake this project at the full scale of his vision. Sponsoring a student gives you an inside view of the Retreat Center training, with weekly and monthly reports from your sponsored student of progress and activities, video clips of the training, and regular invitations to CA.
If the the Student Sponsor program sounds right for you, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss the details.
