Here\, your mind can come to rest and you can remember true peace. No experience with meditation is required\, and everyone is welcome. We ask only that you make it your intention to sit still\, quiet in body and mind\, and to listen to; receive and follow my instruction to the best of your ability. You will learn to meditate as you practice. Please arrive for Meditation before 6:30 pm as we don’t allow latecomers to enter. \nEach week we will share with you a different inspirational message from Holy Spirit. This may take the form of creative visualization exercises\, or instruction about the nature and purpose of meditation\, or about our true nature and relationship to ourselves\, to one another\, and to the world. In a sense\, this is both a meditation practice and a meditation class. \n\nSome students have been coming regularly for a number of years. Others drop in and out as they have time or need. Some come to learn and grow\, others more so simply to calm down\, to take time out from the frenetic pace of their busy lives. If you are new and feeling uncertain or shaky\, do not hesitate to introduce yourself to some of the other students\, to ask questions before or after. Try to observe and emulate the stillness and concentration of others around you whom you sense are most grounded. Soon\, you\, in turn\, may provide inspiration and guidance for others. \nWhile the principles are based on A Course in Miracles (ACIM)\, it does not matter if you are unfamiliar with ACIM or are not prepared to study it outside of this meditation. You can still take from this practice some very practical\, effective lessons\, tools\, and experiences that can enable you to lead a more peaceful\, purposeful\, fulfilling and loving life.

When we do so\, we can trust ourselves to fully experience our feelings with the awareness that they cannot hurt us\, or overwhelm us\, or change us at all\, because we are still as Love created us. \nAfter we’ll enjoy social time with tea and snacks. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 at the door.

But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \n \nSufi Dance Artist Läle Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance. As CRS resident Sufi Dance instructor\, choreographer\, performing artist\, and musical curator\, she loves to welcome people into this holy practice to explore and share their own divinity. She intermittently tours internationally with BELLA GAIA\, a live concert blending music\, dance\, technology\, and NASA satellite imagery inspired by the experience of astronauts viewing the earth from space. “Sublime” — Village Voice.\n\nOne of the founding members of Japan’s famous SAMANYOLU professional belly dance group in Tokyo\, Läle went on to a long solo career performing throughout the northeastern USA and touring with United Kingdom’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on over a 100 city tour encompassing the U.K.\, as well as Turkey’s Baba Zula. About six years ago\, she was forced to retire to support her young daughter through a life-threatening medical crisis. Several years later she discovered that she could whirl as a form of prayer to support her daughter and began studying Sufi Dance with Paris-based Sufi Artist Rana Gorgani. In April 2018 Gorgani awarded her the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO\, granting her authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi Dance training. She currently teaches Sufi Dance classes at CRS every first and second Thursday of the month from 7 – 8:30 pm and leads the CRS Healing Circles + Whirling Prayer that take place every third Thursday of the month from 7:15 – 9 pm.\nhttps://facebook.com/lale.sayoko\nhttps://youtu.be/OHmAPDEXNDw\nhttps://youtu.be/6xkueoG80sg\n  \nChristopher Pelham is a spiritual healer/counselor/teacher/artist who draws on practices from A Course in Miracles\, Non-Violent Communication\, improvisational theater\, Sufism\, and contemporary shamanism to help people remember who they really are.

Slowly\, you will re-train your eyes to see the world around you without judgment. You will learn to communicate with your holy spirit. \nIt is OK to attend without having studied the Course\, but we highly encourage you begin reading the Text and\, especially\, to begin the workbook lessons if you can!

Together\, we create a sacred space for you to free your mind\, transcend your limits\, and share your light. By receiving the divinely inspired vibration of the music and developing our control of the body while surrendering the mind’s worries\, let’s share the ecstasy that arises with repeated whirling. \nThis is not a class (i.e. there is no instruction) but an open space where we can come together to practice and is open to people of all backgrounds who whirl and follow the path of oneness. You must already know the basics of how to whirl. If you have not already learned whirling from a Sufi teacher — for example\, from our teachers Rana Gorgani\, Lâle Sayoko\, or Paola Garcia or from a Sufi lodge or community — please first attend one of our Sufi Dance classes with Lâle Sayoko\, which takes places the first Thursday of each month from 7:30 – 9 pm at CRS\, to learn the basics. Sayoko is also available for private instruction weekdays and weekends by appointment. \nPlease remember that whirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Avoid eating a large meal for two hours prior to class. Over time\, through whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control\, allowing us to whirl for longer periods. You do not have to whirl for the entire hour\, but you are encouraged to explore whether your perceived limits are immutable or only self-imposed. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing (white\, gray or black color is preferable\, avoiding prints and shiny material which might distract the eye while whirling) safe for dancing in (for women your tops should have straps or cover your shoulders and you should not wear short skirts) and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you have a whirling skirt\, please feel free to bring it. \n$20 with advance registration\, $25 at the door \nAbout Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko \nLâle Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance.

In this eternity we can experience love’s presence in new forms\, giving us new inspiration and direction. \nIt is OK to attend without having studied A Course in Miracles\, but we highly encourage you to begin reading the Text and\, especially\, to begin the workbook lessons if you feel called to do so! Receiving guidance occurs when you cultivate willingness to believe in it and receive it and lay aside resistance. The purpose of ACIM is to help you train your mind to do just that. \nStill\, even without training\, anyone can potentially benefit from meditation practices. At the very least\, you might calm down and have a good time\, and students of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome! \nInstructor Christopher Pelham is the Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He teaches A Course in Miracles and A Course of Love\, offer Spiritual Healing and counseling\, and organizes Sufi events and Healing Circles with Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko. While ACIM is the foundation of his work\, he also draws on his rich experiences with improvisational theater and contemporary shamanism to help people remember who they really are: perfect and limitless expressions of love.

The event will be emceed by CRS co-founder and A Course in Miracles teacher/healer Christopher Pelham. \nOur purpose is to share the joy that is present when we drop our stories and experience life impersonally as it truly is\, as limitless unconditional love. \nAs long as thoughts continue returning\, pulling us back into our stories\, we will attempt to re-purpose them to point back to what lies beyond the words and concepts. In this way\, Naho will share the story of her seeming experience of struggling and awakening and how she lives with it now\, and she will answer your questions. \nWe’ll also explore how Naho’s approach to Non-Duality compares with A Course in Miracles and what they might have to offer one another. \nTickets are $30 in advance and $40 on the event of the event ($20 for students and seniors with valid ID at the door). \nAbout Naho Owada \nIt was before the age of one when Naho sensed that humanity\, this world\, was not a comfortable place. Her mother told her that she first noticed Naho’s experience of the world while she was in her baby seat. Naho appeared to be in shock. She said that often her eyes would be wide and moving from left to right\, as if she were seeing evil or in terror. Naho was very tense. \nSomewhere around the age of three\, there was a natural sense that saw clearly the loneliness or suffering underneath all humans. Naho could see in the faces that there was something hiding\, an unease underneath the smile. Naho was always feeling uncomfortable. \nBy the time Naho turned five\, she asked her mother why she had to continue to live. \nIt was in her teen years that Naho began her deep search in finding the cause of the uncomfortableness\, of which she never found. Around the age of 20\, Naho realized she would not find the answer where she was looking. She didn’t experience any tragedies in her life and therefore knew that it was not the story of the life that was causing her suffering. \nAt the age of 25\, she met a man who had had an experience of this. He told her that the cause of suffering was the phantom self. She began to see that wherever she went\, there she would be. It seemed to be following her; this ‘I’. She couldn’t escape the self that seemed to be having such uncomfortableness. It was from there that she knew she found the answer she was searching for. \nIt became evident that everyone is born with a sense of lack that comes from apparent separation–but this has nothing to do with the story of their apparent life. People try to find the answer in their storyline and that is because they think if they change the story\, it will bring them happiness. That isn’t true. That will only bring relief for a short period of time. It began to be obvious that the person we believe our ‘self’ to be\, is a complete illusion. \nSoon thereafter\, there came an apparent moment (while on her way to the organic supermarket) that the illusion completely vanished. What was left is everything\, without a center. \nWhat’s Happening Now \nMany people have been asking about Naho’s whereabouts. For the past two years\, Naho has been very busy sharing her message in Japan. Most of Naho’s invitations have been with the world’s most renowned and important buddhist monks asking her to come and share her message in their temples which are the treasure of Japan. While in Japan\, Naho wrote and published three books on her own\, all of which are doing very well. \nThis message being the closest to her heart is now going to be available in other countries\, as Naho is residing in both France and Japan and is now travelling with her message all over the globe. \nhttps://www.nahoowada.com \nAbout Christopher Pelham \nChristopher is the co-founder and Director of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) where he studies and teaches A Course in Miracles. He also offer spiritual healing and counseling\, guides meditations\, organizes Sufi events and Healing Circles with Sufi Dance Artist Lale Sayoko\, and produces a wide variety of arts and healing programming. While deeply rooted in A Course in Miracles\, his approach to teaching also draws on his experiences with improvisational theatre and contemporary shamanism.

You cannot love parts of reality and understand what love means. 2 If you would love unlike to God\, Who knows no special love\, how can you understand it? 3 To believe that special relationships\, with special love\, can offer you salvation is the belief that separation is salvation. 4 For it is the complete equality of the Atonement in which salvation lies. 5 How can you decide that special aspects of the Sonship can give you more than others? 6 The past has taught you this. 7 Yet the holy instant teaches you it is not so. \nT-15.V.4. Because of guilt\, all special relationships have elements of fear in them. 2 This is why they shift and change so frequently. 3 They are not based on changeless love alone. 4 And love\, where fear has entered\, cannot be depended on because it is not perfect. 5 In His function as Interpreter of what you made\, the Holy Spirit uses special relationships\, which you have chosen to support the ego\, as learning experiences that point to truth. 6 Under His teaching\, every relationship becomes a lesson in love. \nT-15.V.5. The Holy Spirit knows no one is special. 2 Yet He also perceives that you have made special relationships\, which He would purify and not let you destroy. 3 However unholy the reason you made them may be\, He can translate them into holiness by removing as much fear as you will let Him. 4 You can place any relationship under His care and be sure that it will not result in pain\, if you offer Him your willingness to have it serve no need but His. 5 All the guilt in it arises from your use of it. 6 All the love from His. 7 Do not\, then\, be afraid to let go your imagined needs\, which would destroy the relationship. 8 Your only need is His. \n~ $25 per person with advanced purchase online\, by phone (212-677-8621) or at CRS until the day before the lecture~\n~ $30 per person at the door ~\nAs long as space is available\, “No one is ever turned away who cannot pay.” Contribute what you can. \nThe lectures are held on the 2nd Sunday of the month (but 1st Sunday in May). \nAlthough we would\, of course\, prefer to share with you in class\, Miracles in Manhattan classes are now also being offered via life-streaming (technology allowing) for those who cannot attend the class in-person. The day of the class\, go to our YouTube Channel:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxH3nWSMFDGA1SiR9kAbeg\nand choose the live-streaming button.

But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth.

Together\, we create a sacred space for you to free your mind\, transcend your limits\, and share your light. By receiving the divinely inspired vibration of the music and developing our control of the body while surrendering the mind’s worries\, let’s share the ecstasy that arises with repeated whirling. \nThis is not a class (i.e. there is no instruction) but an open space where we can come together to practice and is open to people of all backgrounds who whirl and follow the path of oneness. You should already know the basics of how to whirl. If you have not already learned whirling from a Sufi teacher — for example\, from our teachers Rana Gorgani\, Lâle Sayoko\, or Paola Garcia or from a Sufi lodge or community — please first attend one of our Sufi Dance classes with Lâle Sayoko\, which takes places the first Thursday of each month from 7:30 – 9 pm at CRS\, to learn the basics. Sayoko is also available for private instruction weekdays and weekends by appointment. \nPlease remember that whirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Avoid eating a large meal for two hours prior to class. Over time\, through whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control\, allowing us to whirl for longer periods. You do not have to whirl for the entire hour\, but you are encouraged to explore whether your perceived limits are immutable or only self-imposed. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing (white\, gray or black color is preferable\, avoiding prints and shiny material which might distract the eye while whirling) safe for dancing in (for women your tops should have straps or cover your shoulders) and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you have a whirling skirt\, please feel free to bring it. \n$20 with advance registration\, $25 at the door \nAbout Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko \nLâle Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance.

Kamyar’s musical mission is to spread cultural awareness and unity by mixing contemporary musical trends with traditional Persian folk music. A multi-instrumentalist Sufi poet\, from age 7 he studied Daf (Iranian frame drum) with Master Bijan Kamkar. After mastering the Daf\, Kamyar learned Kamancheh (Iranian bowed string instrument) with Master Ardeshir Kamkar and Sohrab Pournazeri. In the midst of the Green Revolution in 2009\, Kamyar and his family left Iran and now reside in Washington\, DC.  Kamyar’s songs and performances are very much inspired by the people of Iran and their history of struggle and protest. He produced his first solo album in 2015\, entitled “No Freedom.” Kamyar also plays in two other collaborations: “Huda & Kamyar\,” a Daf and Oud Duo\, and “Time is Fire\,” a weird world/post-punk band. Kamyar recently collaborated with Benjamin Schurr and DC’s BLIGHTRECORDS and produced an electronics-backed Daf album called “Voices in the Dark.” In the words of a reviewer: ”this isn’t so much music as it is downright spiritual. It is a movement.”\nhttps://music.blightrecords.org/album/voices-in-the-dark\nhttps://kamyararsani.bandcamp.com/releases URL:https://crsny.org/event/whirling-sufi-dance-practice-with-live-music-3/ LOCATION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)\, 41 E 11th St 11th Fl\, New York\, NY\, 10003\, United States CATEGORIES:ACIM-Related Event,CRS Presents,sufi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crsny.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/P1020342.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)":MAILTO:info@crsny.org GEO:40.733158;-73.992729 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) 41 E 11th St 11th Fl New York NY 10003 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 E 11th St 11th Fl:geo:-73.992729,40.733158 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190718T191500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190718T210000 DTSTAMP:20190727T195156Z CREATED:20190710T184147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190727T195156Z UID:10006647-1563477300-1563483600@crsny.org SUMMARY:CRS Healing Circle: Meditation + Whirling Prayer DESCRIPTION:Join us Thur\, 7/18 @ 7:15 pm for our monthly Healing Circle + Whirling (Sufi Dance) Prayer! \nLed by Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko and CRS co-founder Christopher Pelham\, we create a safe space in which to let go of our small selves and recognize the divinity in one another and within ourselves.

Later in life\, once I was in medical school\, these mystical events became more frequent. I started to see and hear Christ in the ER where I worked as a physician\, and there He guided me to help save many people’s lives. When I later became a hospice director\, Christ helped me care for patients and then guided them home to heaven. In the book\, I discuss the unreality of death and dying in detail\, citing multiple patient cases. Meeting God is another major topic of the book. I share what it is like to be held by God and look into His eyes and feel His Love for me. Eventually I realized that God and I are one. In time\, I was asked to join Jesus and others to bless the world. Finally\, in closing\, I have given suggestions about what worked for me in the process I call Awakening. In this small book\, I have included several poems\, letters to friends\, and examples of Christ talking with me. What I learned is that Christ’s help is readily available to everyone whenever we ask for it. But the main point that I am making in this book is how much God Loves us and is waiting for us to wake up!

She found true healing through A Course in Miracles and now helps others to discover peace within themselves through her podcasts\, writings\, and her book\, From Anxiety To Love.\nhttps://fromanxietytolove.com/ \nEmily Bennington is Executive Director of the Circle of Atonement. Prior to joining the Circle\, Emily led training programs on spiritual intelligence and mindful leadership for numerous Fortune 500 companies. She is also the author of three books\, including Miracles at Work\, which features a foreword by her friend Marianne Williamson.\nhttps://circleofa.org URL:https://crsny.org/event/course-based-healing-190629/ LOCATION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)\, 41 E 11th St 11th Fl\, New York\, NY\, 10003\, United States CATEGORIES:ACIM-Related Event,Guest Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crsny.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/2FADBEEB-FDCF-4381-9EAF-CFE0108B832F.jpeg GEO:40.733158;-73.992729 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) 41 E 11th St 11th Fl New York NY 10003 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 E 11th St 11th Fl:geo:-73.992729,40.733158 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190628T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190628T200000 DTSTAMP:20190523T171407Z CREATED:20190523T170838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190523T171407Z UID:10010989-1561748400-1561752000@crsny.org SUMMARY:Whirling (Sufi Dance) Practice with Live Music DESCRIPTION:Welcome all sufis and whirlers! CRS and Sufi Dance Artist Lale Sayoko invite you to join us for an hour of meditative whirling known as Sufi dance or Sema (Sama in Iranian). This is not a class (i.e. there is no instruction) but an open space where we can come together to practice and is open to people of all backgrounds who whirl and follow the path of oneness. This month frame drummer Ellen Shapiro will play for us! \nPrevious whirling experience is required. You should already know the basics of how to whirl. If you have not already learned whirling from a Sufi teacher — for example\, from one of our teachers\, Rana Gorgani\, Lale Sayoko\, or Paola Garcia\, or at one of our whirling events\, or from a Sufi lodge or community — please first attend our Sufi Dance Class with Lale Sayoko\, which takes places the first Thursday of each month from 7:30 – 9 pm at CRS\, to learn the basics. Sayoko is also available for private instruction weekdays and weekends by appointment. \nPlease remember that whirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Avoid eating a large meal for two hours prior to class. Over time\, through whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control\, allowing us to whirl for longer periods. You do not have to whirl for the entire hour\, but you are encouraged to explore whether your perceived limits are immutable or only self-imposed. \nWe empty our minds of all thoughts of the individual self as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn. Into this emptiness floods a divine fullness\, which sometimes gives rise to a state known as “mystical intoxication\,” a reflection of knowing and experiencing that you and I and the Divine are One. Together we can take courage and inspiration from one another and strengthen our practice. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing (white\, gray or black color is preferable\, avoiding prints and shiny material which might distract the eye while whirling) and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you have a whirling skirt\, please feel free to bring it. \n$20 with advance registration\, $25 at the door \nAbout Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko \nSayoko was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, and with New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani\, and in April 2018 Gorgani awarded her the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO\, granting her authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi dance training. With CRS co-founders Yasuko Kasaki and Christopher Pelham\, she leads the CRS Healing Circle + Whirling Prayer that take place every third Thursday of the month at CRS.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/lale.sayoko URL:https://crsny.org/event/whirling-sufi-dance-practice-with-live-music-2/ LOCATION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)\, 41 E 11th St 11th Fl\, New York\, NY\, 10003\, United States CATEGORIES:ACIM-Related Event,CRS Presents,sufi ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://crsny.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/7F933FD1-5000-4599-B314-9DF4F0B00A65.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)":MAILTO:info@crsny.org GEO:40.733158;-73.992729 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) 41 E 11th St 11th Fl New York NY 10003 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=41 E 11th St 11th Fl:geo:-73.992729,40.733158 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
