(Clearwisdom.net) On April 22, annual Earth Day celebrations were held in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. It was a nice spring day with a mild breeze and warm sunshine. This year's Earth Day events attracted a lot of people. Practitioners set up a booth to promote Falun Dafa, an ancient exercise and cultivation practice that improves the health of both mind and body.

Soon after the event started, people came to the Falun Gong booth and wanted to get more information. As in previous years, many people visited the Falun Gong booth. Some just wanted to get updated information, and some wanted to learn the exercises. Many people had heard about Falun Gong already and had seen the Falun Gong exercise demonstration before. Some of them were very interested in oriental culture and wanted to learn the exercises.

One gentleman was learning the first exercise and immediately felt a strong energy current. Another woman, with a baby in her arms, made an appointment with a Falun Gong practitioner who is her neighbor, to learn the exercises in her yard.

After the one-day event, practitioner Ms. Tian said that she was very happy to see so many people wanting to learn Falun Gong. She said that Falun Gong practitioners will participate in similar community events to introduce Dafa and to meet local residents.
