(Minghui.org) Harmoni Expo, the biggest health expo in Sweden, was held in Solna, north of Stockholm, on October 24 and 25, 2026. Over 300 exhibitors offered a variety of healthy lifestyle and experiential programs. Falun Dafa practitioners were invited to participate to introduce the practice. They also raised awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.
The organisers once again put the Falun Dafa practitioners’ stand near the stage, an area with high foot traffic. Throughout the event, the practitioners’ serene and peaceful exercise demonstrations stood in stark contrast to the surrounding noise and drew many visitors who were seeking physical and mental well-being. They stopped to watch and spoke with practitioners.
Many people who were interested in the practice tried the exercises. Some people bought Dafa books because they said they wanted to learn more.
A woman who lives near the center of Solna said after buying a copy of Falun Gong, “The words Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance have strong energy—they are touching. I will read this book and I will go to the group practice site and do the exercises.”
A Woman and Her Grandchildren Try the Exercises
A woman and her two granddaughters from the City of Falun in central Sweden said they were drawn by the sitting meditation when they passed by the Falun Dafa booth. The grandmother was curious about the connection between the name of her city, Falun, and Falun Dafa. She spoke with a practitioner and learned what Falun Dafa is and how the CCP persecutes it in China. She was indignant and signed the petition calling for the persecution to end.
The woman’s granddaughters, ages 6 and 9, were reluctant to leave. A practitioner gave them mats and they happily sat down, and learned the fifth exercise. After they meditated for quite a while, they told their grandmother they felt very good.
Signing the Petition to Support Justice
Jessica and her son were appalled to hear about the persecution: “I want to know what Falun Dafa is and why the CCP persecutes it.” She said this was the second time she’d seen practitioners. “My friend and I saw you collecting signatures in the old town last weekend. I had some doubts about the allegation of forced organ harvesting and did not take it seriously.”
Jessica said she was touched when she learned that Falun Gong teaches people to improve their character by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She said she would visit the Falun Dafa website to download the books. As she signed the petition, she said. “Now I know. This persecution must stop. I hope to help stop the persecution and support Falun Dafa practitioners.”
A man from Helsingborg in southern Sweden took photos at the activity. He said he was an organiser for an expo in his area. “I know this practice is excellent, and I would like to invite Falun Dafa practitioners to participate in our local event.” After a practitioner explained what Falun Dafa is and told him there were practice sites all over Sweden, he told his colleague, “I am definitely going to invite them to take part in our expo.”
