Meet our team

The Crane’s Nest Initiative was launched in the summer of 2024, bringing together first- and second-generation individuals who value building the Unification Movement into a community of like-minded people, united by shared values and mutual trust. We noticed that warm and friendly connections among brothers and sisters are sometimes lacking, both within and between countries, making it harder for some to feel confident in their decision to commit to a Blessing.

Our goal is to create a space where everyone can find friends, gain confidence, and experience support. We will grow together with those seeking connection, mutual understanding, and the joy of genuine, strong bonds that benefit each person, their future family, and their place in the wider community.
