Chungju apples on display at a grocery store in the United States On a fine bright afternoon in a rural area I followed a group of shamanic pilgrims to see a ceremony for the first time in my stay in Korea I was fascinated by comprehending a modern and sophisticated country in another dimension A group of spiritual seekers gathered for a private shamanic ceremony at Ureuk World Music House in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, Oct. 11. Led by Helena Soholm,a charming Korea-born American transpersonal psychologist and shaman with many of them looking to connect with their Korean roots seven were Korean American immigrants and adoptees one mixed-race Korean British and one Laotian American This wasn’t Soholm's first time leading a shamanic pilgrimage for Korean immigrants adoptees and other aspirants in Korea or elsewhere and the mood changed slowly to become trance-like and surreal as the place was filled with bright colors traditional clothes and a wide altar table holding symbolic objects fruits and drink offerings to the ancestral spirits Helena Soholm performs a shamanic ritual before an altar at Ureuk World Music House in Chungju Soholm went through two initiations in 2018 first as a transpersonal psychologist when she earned her doctorate of psychology She was able to combine academic and traditional wisdom to practice a holistic approach to healing she says that the modern world needs modern shamans who heal by reintroducing beauty scientists and entrepreneurs who serve the global community to ease the suffering of people "I spent most of my life studying and I always wanted to be a psychologist right from the start," she said "I took my first psychology course in high school and I was fascinated This fascination with dreams is also a feature of her spirituality and of course in shamanism dreams are very important because you can have contact with the spirit world during dream time So that's something I've been practicing ever since I was young My family always talked about dreams; even as a young child Helena Soholm visits Ureuk World Music House in Chungju But Soholm grew up in a Protestant Christian home and the family only accepted God and Jesus there was shamanic energy and gifts in my maternal side of the family — my mother would have visions But she funneled everything within Christianity She would interpret it as Jesus or the Holy Ghost giving her visions rather than other spirits She feared that I would become a shaman," she said "Because she knew even when I was a child that I had the spiritual gift her worst nightmare was that I would become a 'mudang.' And I became one and it broke her heart actually before she passed away But now of course she's working with me on the other side my first kind of work and profession is as a psychologist She added that she has two master's degrees one in psychology and the other in theological studies "I wanted to know how people connected to the divine She further explained that religion has always been part of her life Her community hoped she would become a religious leader through the church and then later part of college I started losing I started seeing that perhaps Jesus didn't need to die and rise from the dead for me to believe in him It was okay for me that he symbolically rose whereas my church members believed he had to actually die and come back alive I started seeing the energy of his love as more important than believing in the stories of the Bible in a concrete way She earned her first master's at Harvard Divinity School "I had a professor there who was studying maybe South American and some Afro-Caribbean traditions of shamanism I wanted to work with any person who wanted to connect to spirits then I decided to leave the church," she said "I found a program that was more aligned with how I wanted to do therapy at a Jesuit university I got my second master's in what they call existential phenomenological psychology It was much more open-minded and humanistic Then I got that degree and I started practicing as a therapist.” particularly during her doctoral dissertation process she started experiencing weird physical symptoms which she identified as tingling and vibrations “One can argue that I was having an awakening they say that you might be having a kundalini awakening I would have all these sensations of tingling up and down my spine I'm sitting there and all these things are happening to me I went to a retreat center to get my dissertation finished I would sit to meditate when I could feel spirits coming inside I could tell that it's a male versus female I just started observing and using my research to kind of write down these things that were happening to me Then I started speaking with shamans in Korea to consult with them about what was happening to me 'You have shaman illness — you need to become a mudang.'” Since 2018 she has served her clients in psychotherapy and shamanism She said that in her practices she has a very clear boundary between them I don't see you individually as a shaman client “Most people I see in therapy grew up in a church or some kind of organized religion But they don't want to go there anymore — It doesn't speak to their heart I'm teaching people how to be spiritual in a secular world how to help modern people connect to the divine Without the middleman of the church or organized religion People are under tremendous stress; life is really difficult to live We don't have the organized institutions to support us anymore Helena Soholm leads a pilgrimage at Ureuk World Music House in Chungju She said that her transpersonal psychology practice involves mainly talking but her shamanic practice offers direct experiences including rituals "There are the ancestral spirits that are very important in the shamanic practice sometimes ancestors who are not at rest on the other side can cause people problems A lot of the ceremonies are about appeasing them or putting them at peace so that your life is also at peace It's a direct relationship that when the people who passed on don't have peace It's about harmony and balance in the energy.” a musician originally from New York and owner of Ureuk World Music House hosted the pilgrims for the day at her house She said she had been preparing for months for their visit Anna Cybele joins the shamanic pilgrims at her Ureuk World Music House in Chungju “Shamans used to be an important part of every village having the role of gathering the community together and facilitating healing Bringing a shaman to bless my 'hanok' and clear any unsettled energy seemed a logical way to respect the house and the culture Having Helena as 'shaman-in-residence' was inspiring and fortifying because she is taking on a unique role to help the Korean diaspora connect back to their ancestral roots," she said "Hundreds of thousands of Korean adoptees return to Korea hoping to connect with their ancestry They can go to an office in Seoul to get family records but there is not necessarily a family ready to welcome them or a system to help them with the emotional or spiritual questions and burdens they may carry Helena’s personal style of approaching ritual and shamanic work can be part of that system While Helena was quick to say she doesn’t want to lead pilgrimages and I was quick to say I don’t want to host large groups we both saw the light that could come from embracing our sister-callings to serve this global community in need by offering the experience of a sacred Korean ritual in a sacred Korean space.” a half-Korean yoga and Reiki practitioner and teacher born in London coming to Korea for the first time has been wonderful She met a couple of family members for the very first time in Daegu and it felt completely eye-opening for her She said that everything was new and familiar all at the same time Maile Paek visits Ureuk World Music House in Chungju “Helena's offering this ceremony was wonderful," she said "It felt aligned with everything else that I'm doing and I'd like to bring that healing work more into my Korean culture and I want to learn more of the language and connect with my family.” Phonexay Lala Simon came to Korea for the first time to attend the ceremony and visit She is a Laotian American who practices acupuncture and spirituality Phonexay Lala Simon visits Ureuk World Music House in Chungju "We went to a couple of mountain shrines in the middle of Seoul and there was incredible energy there Coming to this place there's incredible energy here we also have a lot of ancestral worship and connection and ceremony I started doing spiritual medicine on my own That was developed over time as I worked with energy my great-grandma who raised me always took me to do ceremonies to worship and connect with our ancestors I believe that a lot of my skills and intuition come from that legacy I've been able to develop it and it's also been wonderful watching her do it here."

He's also the co-founder of Hanokers a refugee-led social initiative and freelance contributor for Pressenza Press Agency I wanted this summer to be one of excitement and exploration but the longer-than-usual rain season (not to mention a streak of rainy days) so I had to be careful what activity of my list I chose to check off This is why my determination to have an adventure led me towards Chungju Hwalok Donggul or the Chungju Jade Cave in North Cheungcheong province Visitors here get the unique opportunity to explore Chungju Hwalok’s LED-illuminated passageways both on foot and in a kayak Getting out and enjoying a nice day trip despite the weather made the nearly-two-hour drive from Camp Humphreys through Chungju’s scenic countryside worthwhile Hidden gem of Chungju The cave itself used to be a mine and is now considered one of Asia’s biggest former mines It was carved out over centuries by Korean miners and is 8.2-kiliometers long with its deepest depth reaching 711 meters Visitors can explore the cave by foot on a leisurely stroll through the 800-meter-long passageways The course is flat and there are no stairs so all visitors young and old can easily navigate the cave I paid 7,000 won (or about $6.18) for the entrance fee and then an extra 3,000 won for the kayaking experience Plan ahead and bring a sweater and long pants as the cave stays between 51 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit year-round Some of the passageways were pretty large like a highway tunnel but there were other with low ceilings so watch out and avoid hitting your head on these Each section of the cave has a different theme I saw many taking a rest in the portion known as the Health Therapy Room and enjoying the heated stools in the cool cave Rusty giant mine hoists that used to drag minerals out of the cave are one of the other spectacles you’ll find after passing the therapy room you’ll enter a mining-experience spot where you can try your hand at working in a mine And you’ll notice signs pointing out the presence of bats so look up and you’ll see these critters sleeping above The cave lighting and the decorations give it a magical feeling perfect for children or the kids in all of us I enjoyed the luminous photo-op wall spot because it made my pictures look like I was on a different planet Unique kayaking experience At the end of the tunnel you’ll reach the wine cellar where you can indulge in a nice glass of mulled wine for 5,000 won (bottle wine costs 49,500 won) Across from the cellar were people splashing around on kayaks in the water so I knew I’d finally reached the launch point I waited about 30 minutes before it was my turn to gear up with a helmet and life jacket and hop into a clear kayak A clear kayak is the same as your average kayak except it is made of see-through plastic so you can see the water (and the school of fish that live here) surrounding your vessel but if you’re planning to visit on a weekend expect longer lines and wait times The kayaking portion of this journey doesn’t last very long— about 30 minutes from departure to return to the dock The good thing is that it wasn’t expensive and I got as many photos as I wanted while I navigated in my kayak Spending the day in the Chungju Jade Cave and the surrounding areas was truly a nice way to get a little adventure in before the summer is over If you’re looking for a quick getaway near Camp Humphreys I would definitely suggest you swing by and check out this area especially if you’re determined to not let bad weather ruin a good time Hwalok Donggul Café (Jade Cave Café) Outside the cave you’ll find a café with a nod to the area’s mining history Large machinery and mining equipment parts make up the décor of this conveniently located eatery which is known for its ham and cheese sandwiches The kids will love the replica dinosaurs and other fun décor both inside and on the premises of the cave grounds If you want something a little more involved than a ham and cheese sandwich try the seafood ramen from the chef’s table Read now > Sign up for our weekly newsletter of articles from Japan Chungju Mayor Cho Gil-hyung said on the 6th that "Chungju Man" Kim Sun-tae who runs Chungju City Hall's YouTube channel "Chung TV," said "He is an employee who can swim well in the water by pushing what is standing in the water (I recognized his ability) at a glance." Chungju Man gained popularity with its witty YouTube videos Mayor Cho said in MBN's "Special to Current Affairs-Jung Woon-gap's Intensive Analysis" on the same day "There are times when freshman officials give them a chance to express their opinions when they make a full inquiry once a month There was a different view of the same thing," he said "I thought officer Kim could do well if he forced me," adding "There are employees who take care of themselves and there are employees who have to take the reins because they run so fast even if they don't ask me to "Where did Chungju's most famous thing used to be a dam but these days it is Chung TV and officer in charge of Kim," adding Regarding Kim's promotion to level 6 last year "Everyone said it's very right to do it when they order level 8 to 7 a little faster I was worried a lot when I tried to raise it to level 6 "I personally didn't do it because it was pretty but I did it to squeeze it to make it more." "It's not because he's not good at work or because he's hated but 'I'm so jealous' (Kim in charge) is not manual labor but when I asked what's better for Chungju city's benefit to leave it alone and use it by promoting it in advance I thought it would be better to promote it now." "He hates protocol and prefers to change some existing methods," adding so he is a type of person who clearly distinguishes between unnecessary and necessary things and focuses on them Regarding malicious comments on YouTube videos they say you should not read malicious comments "I think we should be prepared to be hated to some extent because we were loved." "Because the concept of Chungju is different from other people "So I think it can be a little bit like that so it's best if that doesn't happen." I'm paying attention to that these days," he added Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles have been hailed for many years as the key to green transportation a recent accident in South Korea has shown that such a promising technology is not free from safety issues Recent inquiries about the powered bus explosion in Chungju raise critical issues about the reliability of hydrogen systems as the main stem fuel source A hydrogen-fueled city bus at a charging station exploded in Mokhaeng-dong The explosion occurred as the engine was being cranked to start after refuelling; with cataclysmic force which made people hear a wake-up call on the safety of hydrogen technology There were inquiries investigating the cause of the explosion as soon as the authorities were informed The initial investigation indicates that the failure occurred during the ignition process after the vehicle was refuelled been given a push by the increased complexity of the injuries and damages Hydrogen is a clean energy source but is highly flammable and hence requires high levels of safety protocols for storage The Chungju explosion has revived discussions about whether current safety measures meet the safety challenges associated with hydrogen such occurrences are uncommon and illustrate how potential dangers should be managed openly to ensure the minimum length of public confidence Current engineers are appealing to constantly improve the safety of hydrogen systems to demonstrate that the technology is efficiently ready and safe for ordinary use hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles continue to be a viable solution to carbon and climate change emissions These include extended ranges in one shot and shorter times in between recharging a car events such as the Chungju explosion point to the need for increased safety to be adopted by the general public anytime soon The hydrogen industry also has to work on infrastructure demand creation for hydrogen and hydrogen-based products the safety issues associated with the usage of the substance This presents a necessity of striking a balance between these priorities and technology to make hydrogen-powered transport a sustainable solution for the world Hydrogen is a promising candidate for clean energy storage but the explosion in Chungju has shown problems with its implementation Safety concerns are not completely baseless but the occurrence allows the industry to enhance safety solutions and improve the populace’s trust in them For hydrogen to solve today’s and tomorrow’s energy problems Hydrogen technology is considered to be a game changer in energy sources but this can only happen when risks associated with it are properly sorted out hydrogen helps to build a base for the transition towards green energy Through collaborative efforts among policymakers, industry leaders, and the public, hydrogen technology can continue to develop as a viable and safe alternative in the global transition to sustainable energy.
