Exhibition: Rhythm of Color by Brian Potter
2015-04-24 - 2015-05-31 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Rhythm of Color,” an exhibition of paintings by Brian Potter. In this series of paintings, Mr. Potter uses lines and planes of color, usually very chromatic, in rhythmic combinations. Sometimes these planes overlap, creating a sense of implied depth and mystery. Generally, the colors pulsate foward, generating a playful energy. There is a balance struck between the emotional content of color association, and the intellectual qualities of hard edge painting.
An Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. The exhibition will remain on display through the end of May.
During the opening reception, from 6:30 – 7 pm, there will be a live art happening organized by CRS Gallery Director Rie Nishimura and painter Robin Ann Meyer. The event celebrates the somatic nature of painting, allowing the audience to experience the roles that kinetic energy and physical abilities/limitations play in the creative process. Moving dynamically around a large shared canvas, Ms. Nishimura will paint with her bare hands while Ms. Meyer will paint holding her brush with her feet.
Artist Statement
I see abstract art as having almost limitless possibilities—and my plan is to explore these possibilities as thoroughly as possible. While it is usual for most artists to find a style and then refine it through variations, I hope to reference or create as many abstract styles as possible—in order to create a strong coherent range. To me this has something to do with the essence of abstraction—to distill essences as the basis for imagery and to experiment with these essential qualities in different combinations; the results can lead down different paths, and one of my challenges is integrating these paths wherever possible. In time, through experience along these lines, I hope to invent much new imagery and expand upon my ideas. Ideas are very important to me. Once I establish an idea in a painting, I try to move forward and build on this idea—perhaps adding more ideas or shifting along dimensional lines. This allows my painting to evolve organically and spontaneously. I prefer this, rather than following a plan from beginning to end.
Ultimately, I hope to tell my story of abstract visual thought, which explores ideas and their expression. Some of the issues explored are: structure, shape, space, design, proportion, color, texture, sensuality, and paint itself. I have had many exhibitions in shows, galleries, and museums, across the United States.

Inner Vision Workout: Practice Receiving Spiritual Guidance Using Principles of ACIM
2015-06-03 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
Let’s practice receiving and sharing spiritual guidance from the voice of love inside our minds.
Approximate Schedule:
7 – 7:20 pm Guided Meditation
7:20 – 8 pm Spiritual Healing / Practice Receiving Spiritual Guidance
8 – 8:30 pm Discussion
There is a suggested donation of $20.
Our primary goal is to learn to recognize the voice of love’s guidance that is always available to us — but which we usually block out! Slowly, we will re-train our eyes to see the world around us as one that is always presenting opportunities for us to give and receive love. The more you practice, the easier this becomes. In time, it can even become your habit.
Feel free to bring in specific issues that you would like to receive guidance about. The more honest and open you can be about what you think you need help with, the quicker you can learn to remove these apparent obstacles to your happiness and experience limitless joy again.
This class is appropriate for beginners and for advanced students. It’s kind of like going to gym — no matter your fitness level, practice is the key to growth.
Familiarity with A Course in Miracles or experience with meditation is helpful but not at all required.
Instructor Christopher Pelham is the Director and a co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He balances his time between overseeing the growth and health of the CRS community, producing arts/cultural/educational events at the Center, and working as a CRS Healer and student and teacher of A Course in Miracles. He has previously also worked in educational publishing and as a web designer, writer/editor, actor (most notably for several seasons with Doris Duke Impact Award Winner Johnny Simons at the Hip Pocket Theatre in Ft. Worth, TX and with artists Richard Bach, Harold Lehmann, and Lake Simons in NYC), producer and videographer. He graduated from Duke University in 1991 with a degree in English. In addition to studying ACIM off and on with Yasuko Kasaki since 2003, he studied the Spiritual Psychology of Acting with London-based teacher John Osborne Hughes and Jay Johnstone-based Improvisation with the late Gloria Maddox.

Exhibition: Voice of Nature — Paintings by Keiko Takeko
2015-06-05 - 2015-06-30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Voice of Nature,” an exhibition of paintings by Keiko Takeko.
Through her works, she wants to express the beauty, strength, diversity and modesty of nature, sometimes incorporating words which she “hears” from nature. She feels that living with nature teaches us to accept changes and reminds us that important things will come to us naturally.
An Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. At 7 pm the artist will perform two pantomime pieces inspired by Ka-Cho-Fu-Getsu. Ka-Cho-Fu-Getsu are the traditional themes of natural beauty in Japanese aesthetics. “Ka” means flower, “Cho” means bird, “Fu” means wind and “Getsu” means moon.
The exhibition will remain on display through the end of June.
About the Artist
Keiko Takeko came to the United States in 1997 and to study art at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. After graduation in 2000, she returned to Japan and worked at Ukiyo-e gallery. While working, she kept learning art, especially abstract painting, at Musashino Art University (correspondence education).
Her first exhibition was a group exhibition in 2012, “Christmas Art Gift exhibition” (art lab noct, Tokyo) and the second was a joint exhibition with her friend in 2013, “Exhibition in May” (Sendagi-Kukan, Tokyo).
She also began to learn pantomime under a popular pantomimer, Sugapon (Mr. Reina Suga), once a week from 2011. She currently performs once a month as part of the class performance series called “Washitsu no kai.”
Artist Statement
We live with nature which changes every day and every moment. New green leaves in spring make me happy and blowing wind makes me refresh. On heavy rainy days with thunder, I feel fear and realize how little my existence is. My heart is moved when I meet a beautiful moment of nature, and one of my motives to make nature work is to express those moments. I imagine the scene and choose the paper color which suits it. I draw, paint and collage with various media such as pastel, acrylic, cellophane, autumn leaves etc. and finish when I feel that the image become the moment. Making several works with the same size is an influence of Ukiyo-e formats such as Diptych and Triptych. I make each panel separately. So I cannot imagine what will happen finally, when it comes all together. This unpredictable part interests me a lot.
Morning comes, night comes. There is a clear day and a rainy day. The season changes and repeats. I think that this cycle of nature is similar to the cycle of the human heart, feelings and life. However, nature never complains. They are just there and accept the changes. Besides, they surprise and please us with various expressions. The essence of the nature is warm and positive. I am glad if you would feel essence of such nature through my work.
About pantomime
It is important for a pantomimer to become the thing itself that he wants to express. For example, if you want to express a flower, you need to become a flower. This is one of the reasons that I like mime. This idea makes me more familiar with nature and makes me think of it more directly.
Additionally, doing mime gives me the idea of using my body as my art motif.

Sunday Spiritual Reading/Healing Clinic — 7/13/14
2015-06-30 04:00 - 13:00 | Tokyo
Many of you have asked for a weekend healing event, so I’m thrilled to announce a Spiritual Reading & Healing Clinic with short meditation on Sunday, July 13 from 12 – 1 pm, just before Jon Mundy’s monthly Miracles in Manhattan lecture on A Course in Miracles (starting at 1:30 pm and you are welcome to join)!
We’ll start with a short grounding meditation to relax and remember that we are spiritual beings, unlimited by our physical circumstances and free to think and choose what we want. Then we’ll dive right into the individual readings!
Bring any issue you are facing right now — physically, emotionally, mentally, and/or spiritually. With eyes closed (you will be seated and the healer will stand nearby, no touching involved), we will join with you silently, embracing your perfect spirit with unconditional love, and ask the Holy Spirit to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues. After about 10 minutes, we will share with you the guidance that we receive.
By Holy Spirit, we mean the voice of the part of your mind that seeks only to extend love to others unconditionally, with the understanding that nothing real can be threatened. You don’t need to believe in God or in any particular religion to receive guidance from this place of love in your mind. When you feel stuck, or scared, or angry and unable to forgive, the Holy Spirit’s guidance can remind you that you can be happy now, that you have what it takes to meet and use any situation for love, and that your frustration is therefore not actually caused by your situation but rather by your way of looking at it. If you are willing to change your mind, you can find a way of seeing your situation as an opportunity for you to learn, grow, and share your love and limitless creativity.
If you are unable to attend but would like to receive spiritual reading/healing/counseling privately another time, please contact us at info@crsny.org to set up a convenient time.

Breath Work for Healing — Thursdays in July & Aug 2015
2015-07-02 15:30 - 17:30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
Breathwork for Healing with Helen Buron
Thursdays from 7:30 – 9:30 pm in July & Aug 2015
*No circle July 30th
Breathwork is a three-part, active meditation that gets us out of our mind and into our body. Breathing first into the belly to stir up the stuck thoughts, buried emotions, blocked energy, and old stories, we breathe into the heart center to purify, honor, and transform with love, before we exhale and release out an open mouth. Increasing the oxygen level and energy in our body creates a space of openness, healing, clarity, and trust for our intuitive impulses, inner wisdom, and creativity.
Helen will guide and support you through the breathing using music, affirmations, and energy healing. Breathing is a great modality of SELF-healing for anyone looking to dive deeper into themselves. Your breath. Your body. Your experience. Your healing.

Exchange: $20

Exhibition: Whispering Lights — Art by Erika Mizukami
2015-07-10 - 2015-08-17 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Whispering Lights,” an exhibition of art work by Erika Mizukami.
Finding inspiration in light, she began making art on her own and is self-taught. So far, she has made more than 100 works in this way. We selected about 10 works from all, and will show them at CRS. The works represented here are colorful oil pastels in complex patterns, created by scratching, reminiscent of mandalas. Their purpose is to invite unity and harmony into the mind and also a sense of playfulness.
An Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, July 11, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. Pianist Maurizio Najt will perform
The exhibition will remain on display through August 17, 2015.
About the Artist
Born in New York and raised in Tokyo, Erika Mizukami has been drawing since 2010.
After experiencing self-hypnosis and guided meditation several years ago, Erika started experiencing beautiful visions every night as she was lying down. Images were like the ones in a kaleidoscope, vast, spacious, unlimited, smooth, a continuation of simple motifs within a slow movement. She was fully aware of her surroundings, never tired from sleepless nights, leaving her with a clear mind and emotional detachment.
Fully connected with the presence of Love, Freedom, and Stillness, Erika explored the idea of capturing these images and wanted to share with others not only the images but the senses of healing she had in the experience. Drawing them on a sketchbook with a pencil was not an accurate way of sharing them.
A year after, she met a Mandala artist who recommended to her a book on how to draw a mandala. The instructions of drawing were so complicated for Erika, so she placed the mandala interactions away and started playing with a compass to draw one simple circle in many ways. She loved it! However it was not quite yet able to reflect her visions.
During the same year Erika took a course on Metaphysical Science. She had an assignment of expressing emotions in art. She picked oil pastels to do the project. It struck her! Since then she uses oil pastels and compass to draw the images. “When I scratched off the line, the color appears underneath of black coated paper. It’s like the light appears in the dark.”
Even though her artwork does not exactly mirror the images she sees in her mind, “What I have experienced with drawing these particular artworks is far beyond my imagination. I just took inspired action every each moment to create shape and even choosing color.”
These artworks are teaching and guiding Erika in so many different aspects of understanding meaning in life and leading her to the original pure essence. When she completes a piece, she looks at it with completely detachment, neither like nor dislike, leaving her for a couple of days with an empty mind, no sense of judgment but deep love and joy!
Relationship with all my creation is just being a witness of a process of unfolding flowers. When you see beauty in nature you go speechless, with no words to express, a kind of shock, all thoughts and emotions become powerless and fade a way and I replace them with total acceptance, being fully connected with something beyond my five senses
Realizing that her art invites the viewers to the experience of reuniting with the universe as a whole, Erika has been creating her artworks for people across any boundaries.
“Creativity enriches my life. I love to inspire people and let them know how life is enjoyable just by taking a little time with the creativity we are all born with!”
Artist Statement
The process of creating my work is one of returning myself back to the original nothingness. Choosing motifs, colors, and patters for each little step of drawing in a long, simple repetition is made possible when I perceive a subtle and quiet inspiration coming from within. In drawing, I let self-talk bubble up to consciousness from the innermost realm within, and gently liberate each of them into the light.
Once the work is finished, I realize that I have been experiencing the authentic nothingness. Which means no words, no critiques, no voices, and no emotions emerge from my work toward me when seeing it for a couple of days after the completion. It seems as if a physical relationship between “me” the creator and my work the created, which had been supporting the process of my creation, reveals its real nature: the original nothingness.
After the experience of nothingness, my consciousness gradually returns to the world of words and emotions where my work visually expresses its beauty.
Every time I finish my work, I deeply feel that my creative process strengthens the mutual trust between my Self and what’s beyond my Self, namely divinity. Not only my finished work but every little piece of the work, every event I went through in the process of creating it, every color, and every figure outside the work now tell me the truth of the universe in a totally different way. The entire universe, including my work and myself, plays a role as catalyst to enrich the bond, or a mutual trust, between me and what leads me to create my works. This bond, the trust, is an experience of oneness between my singularity and the entire universe. My works are a series of invitations to this oneness.

A Powerful Free Seminar with Qesankh Maa Kheperu
Change Your Life Forever!
Saturday, July 18th 12 – 4 pm
The key to understanding your unlimited potential is to understand that the subconscious mind or spirit is all-powerful. Who you are is not the physical body or vehicle but rather consciousness. From the many theories that progressive-thinking scientists have put forward to explain our reality, the theory that seems most likely is that we are living in a holographic simulation that is used by God, or the universal power, to gain information and further knowledge from each of us. But there’s more! Now I want you to join me for my seminar where I will reveal the truth behind how you have incredible and unlimited powers. In my programs across America people are becoming empowered and starting a revolution. Now perhaps, a revolution is not what you are seeking. You may want better grades, to find a soul mate, money, a car, health, a career, or happiness. All this for the first time in history is within your grasp! What I teach anyone, and I mean anyone, can learn. It is powerful and readily available to you.

Delete Pain and Stress On The Spot — Yuen Method® Mastery (Module 1) 2 day course
2015-07-31 06:00 - 14:00 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
“Delete Pain and Stress On The Spot”- Yuen Method® Mastery (Module 1) 2 day course
with Chaim Alexander,
Founder of Thrive To Infinity™
Certified Yuen Method® Master and Licensed Yuen Method® Mastery Teacher
Date: Friday, July 31 & Sunday, August 2, 2015
Time: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (NY Time)
*accredited as a pre-requisite for the Yuen Method® Mastery Consultant & Instructor License.
Here’s 10 things you’ll be learning how to do in this 2-day course (you will be getting A LOT more than just these 10)…

1. How you can quickly & easily develop impeccable INSIGHT AND INTUITION

By having impeccable insight & intuition this will allow you to PINPOINT exactly, precisely and quickly what is the source/reason or cause of the presenting problem (no assumptions) that you/client wants to resolve.

​2. How you can effortlessly achieve THE MINDLESS STATE (silence)

When you are in a Mindless State there will be no distracting mind chatter and as a result you will be able to easily connect to your insight & intuition.

​3. How you can instantly achieve THE SPIRITLESS STATE Total separation from the influences of the spirit, which is a repository for all negative life experiences, psychic and spiritual traumas and karmas, not only your own but those of ancestors and the collective going back thousands of years. When the negative experiences from your Spirit are not influencing your body you will be able to easily tap into your Physical Intelligence (a.k.a Innate Intelligence). As a result your brain will function better and faster.
​4. Quickly attain a NON-JUDGMENT State This state goes hand-in-hand with neutrality and is in direct opposition to the critical and logical mind.
​5. Be in a state of NEUTRALITY

A state where you are unaffected by the polarization of opposites, such as right/wrong, good/evil, love/hate, win/lose, success/failure, and so on, which then provides DETACHMENT.
By being in a state of non-judgement & NEUTRALITY you can easily follow your insight & intuition because you’re no longer being bias based on your past education or experiences in your critical and logical mind. Thus you will be better at using your insight & intuition as a guide and as an assessment tool to get better and more efficient results for yourself & clients.

​6. How to apply DELETION to an issue or challenge

The permanent removal from the mind, spirit, and body (physically all the way from the structure down to the quantum level) of the cumulative effect of all previous memories, emotions, thoughts, experiences, sensations, reactions or any other elements on the subconscious and non-conscious levels found to be a source/reason or cause of the presenting problem. Each is deleted down to 0% minus infinity.

​7. How to apply energetic strengthening to achieve your desired outcome Making yourself/client 100% plus infinite potential strong to your/their desired outcome so it will manifest faster.
8. How to apply YM virtually with your clients

Using phone, email & SMS, you will achieve better results than working in person.
This way you’ll be able to work with clients all over the world and not be limited to working with clients locally or have them travel to you from far places.

​9. How to work on someone using a surrogate

You’ll discover the simple way you can use a surrogate to work on your clients. This is like nothing you’ve ever seen before and a powerful technique to add in your practice.

​10. How to work on animals

You are relying on purely measurable and visually observable results. You will be able to work on an animal after it limps into your office and have it running back out with happiness and excitement.
Here are 5 skills you’ll have by the time you complete this course:

​1~ Delete pain, stress, illness, limitations and life problems 10x faster… for yourself and others
​2~ How to determine which specific underlying weaknesses are the cause of your clients’ and even your problems
​3~ How to strengthen and delete underlying weaknesses once they are found
​4~ How achieving correct Insight into the underlying weaknesses in order to resolves your/clients’ problem immediately
5~ Know how to continually improve your Physical Intelligence (a.k.a Innate Intelligence)

Why Everything You Think You Know About Sex Is Wrong!
2015-08-06 15:00 - 16:30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
This free WOMEN ONLY class explores the naked truth (while fully clothed) about pleasure, passion and sensuality in your life. Don’t worry MEN – your time is coming soon!
Our relationship with what I like to call the 5 S’s: sex, sensuality, self-worth, self-love & self-esteem all play a big part when it comes to how much we expect and accept desire and pleasure.
Feeling pleasure (and not necessarily in the way that you are thinking) directly connects with how sexy, educated and empowered you feel on a daily basis. When we start to get comfortable with our sexy selves, learn what we don’t know and how to ask for what we want, we can start to release the guilt or shame in areas of our lives (our bodies, relationships and sexuality) and IGNITE.
In this FREE 2 hour, interactive, thought provoking workshop you will learn:

how to get to know your body intimately enough to turn it into one big erogenous zone.
where your beliefs about sex really come from and how to tell if you are sure you really agree with them
the 3 things that need to be eliminated in order to experience pleasure with another person
how being comfortable with “naughty” words dramatically increases libido, and
the #1 most important key to having a life filled with desire, sensuality & pleasure.

Lavender Space Vinyasa Yoga
2015-08-10 15:00 - 16:00 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
Lavender Space is an open-level vinyasa yoga class. All skill levels are welcome.
I started the class from realizing that there were not many affordable yoga classes with small group setting, especially during the after work hours. Come join me on the mat to simply do vinyasa yoga in a state-of-the-art studio. The size of the class is always 10 yoga practitioners max. You will move and breath in carefully curated music. Mats and props will be provided. Towels and waters are not provided. The only thing I ask from you is to reserve your space early and avoid last minute cancellation so the space can be given to someone else. Just come wearing something that’s comfortable enough to move in and you already have everything you need.
About the organizer: I am a yoga practitioner of 5 years and a 200hr Certified Yoga Instructor living and working in NYC. Outside of yoga, I have a full time job which I love and a supportive group of love ones so on most days I am happy. But just like everyone who lives in this city, the pressure of the daily life can be overwhelming and difficult to manage sometimes. Through the regular practicing of yoga, I frequently discover new ways to keep my life balance, maintain self control and create more space to care for others; and I want to share my practice with you. It is my way of paying it forward. The cost of the class will be kept at minimum in order to cover the cost of operations and studio maintenance. — Linh Lanh

Sound Alchymist presents: Crystal Bowl Activations
2015-08-12 15:00 - 16:30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
Yunji Shin is launching a brand new monthly sound healing performance initiative in the amazing new space called the White Room at CRS. The space has a canyon-shaped ceiling creating sound resonance that echoes powerfully for the ultimate healing experience.
Traverse the unique soundscape of Alchemy crystal bowls, indigenous rattles/shakers, planetary hand chimes, Native American flute and channeled singing/chanting and breathwork. You will not leave the room the same, as your vibrational body shifts to its highest frequency state. We will collectively voyage into a multi-sensory sound journey, as Yunji creates sacred space for you to cleanse, release, and let go.
The human body undergoes daily stress and trauma from the urban landscape, absorbing toxic frequencies and noise pollution such as vehicle engines, honking, airplanes roaring through the sky and computer/cell phone radiation to name a few. Emotional and mental blocks are also held energetically and physically within the body in the form of vibrations. Witness its release after a sound healing session.
Much of quantum physics is now finally proving everything is in a state of vibration including matter, thoughts and consciousness. These are the same concepts the ancients held thousands of years ago which Sound Alchymist is bringing back to the modern world. Experience the re-emerging of ancient technology.
The human body is made up of at least 65% water. A ripple effect takes place when water vibrates – the same as throwing a pebble in the water or placing a bowl of water on top of bass speakers that begin to shake – the same impact occurs within your cellular bodies during a sound healing but with healing frequencies. This non-invasive form of therapy has brought relaxation, pain relief and mental/emotional clarity to some, and to others – transcendental visions and messages.
Sound Alchymist is here to facilitate homeostasis and equilibrium using planetary and Earth frequencies along with indigenous/shamanic sounds and practice.
Sound meditation has also been proven to calm the nervous system, decrease stress hormones such as cortisol, fight-or-flight response/adrenaline, and increase oxygen flow to the brain and body as studied by medical Western doctors.
Get ready to undergo altered states of consciousness and the micro/macro-cosmic frequencies of the Divine, embodied within all of us.
BIO: Yunji Shin is the Sound Alchymist, certified sound practitioner and healer/channel, using breathwork, channeled voice and singing, Alchemy crystal bowls and various healing instruments as a vehicle to induce deep states of trance. Studying under sound healing pioneer and Grammy-nominated, Jonathan Goldman, she continues to explore other modalities particularly within the shamanic realm, integrating indigenous practice to healing and activating the multi-dimensional body. She is also certified in Acutonics, a planetary tuning fork system used on the meridian points. Returning from a transformational journey in Ireland, her instruments are charged and activated from the sacred and ancient Stone Circles of the Celtic mysteries. She will be going on a sacred sound retreat in August for 16 days on the river of the Grand Canyon to Free her Voice with other singers, sound healers and musicians from around the world – Nature’s amphitheater! Sound Alchymist is here to bring the Sacred back to everyday living.

Exhibition: Moments of Silence — Paintings by Douglas Newton
2015-08-19 - 2015-09-30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Moments of Silence,” an exhibition of small oil paintings by Douglas Newton.
These paintings invite sustained contemplation. Some are from observed reality. Others are mostly from his imagination. They are all painted over days and weeks of concentration and creativity. While his subjects from life are recognizable, he eschews photo realism in favor of building up a richness of color and sumptuousness of form.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I paint subjects that have unexpected beauty that I translate into oil paint. I paint from my imagination and also from reality. I also have a series on candies and their wrappers, focusing on their translucency and reflections. In all these paintings, my emphasis is on light, color, texture and atmosphere.
Some of the paintings are simple, direct compositions. Others become almost abstract in their complexity. All, I hope, help us see the unexpected beauty in everything around us.

DOUGLAS NEWTON BIOGRAPHY:
I have been painting seriously for about thirty years and full time for fifteen. Before that, I had a career as an advertising art director.
At first, I worked in a “suburban surrealism” mode, painting the American landscape, houses and gardens, mostly from my imagination. I have also drawn and painted extensively from the figure. At the same time, I began painting still lives, mostly food, toys and household objects. Gradually, the still life painting became my main interest. The series of candy paintings evolved out of my food still lives.
I work directly from nature, instead of using photography as a reference.The paintings are all oil on canvas, gallery wrapped on heavy stretchers. My main focus is capturing the effects of light on form, texture and color. I also try to make the paint itself beautiful, and to feel, not like photo realism, but as rich, sensuous oil painting.

Love is a Secret: The Mystic Quest for Divine Love draws on all the great wisdom traditions for Taoism to Christianity, from Islam to Judaism, to describe the psychology of humankind’s deepest spiritual encounters. The compassionate wisdom in the pages of this book are a moving testament to the universal majesty, variety and splendor of the experience of God’s unconditional love. This is a book which seekers and students will enjoy for its insight as well as its message of hope: that Divine Love is available to all who seek it with humility and grace, and those who bask in its radiance are not only transfigured, but empowered to change the world.”

Intro to A COURSE OF LOVE (in English)
2015-09-02 16:00 - 17:30 | CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing), 41 E 11th St 11th Fl, New York, NY, 10003, United States
Having trouble fully absorbing A Course in Miracles (ACIM) or another non-dualistic spiritual tradition? Then A COURSE OF LOVE may be just for you! Channeled by the same voice that authored ACIM but in more easy to understand language, Mari Perron’s A COURSE OF LOVE speaks to the heart rather than the mind. Let’s explore this important new text together and use it as a springboard to become peaceful miracle workers. Led by CRS co-founders and ACIM Teachers/Healers Yasuko Kasaki and Christopher Pelham, this class will begin at the beginning of the book and work its way through the text week by week.
It may be astonishing to hear that there is a “continuation” of A Course in Miracles, but it is true. Forty years ago Jesus dictated ACIM to the scribe Helen Schucman. More recently, over three years, he similarly dictated A Course of Love. Jesus himself referred to what he was dictating as a “continuation of A Course in Miracles.” Students of ACIM will recognize the Voice. Students of truth, whatever their background, will find that ACOL resonates with the heart.
A Course of Love builds upon the same non-dualistic thought system as ACIM, yet it is a course for the heart. ACOL and ACIM work hand-in-hand. Yet remarkably, ACOL bypasses the mind. It uses thought to go beyond thought. Those yearning to access the heart’s knowing will find help here. This is your invitation to live the purposeful, meaningful life of the new—the reality of heaven on earth.

Long before Marie Kondo’s #1 bestselling book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up took the world by storm, another Japanese bestselling author, Hideko Yamashita, introduced the underlying concept of “Dan Sha Ri.” More than just the art of decluttering one’s closets and drawers, Dan Sha Ri teaches us how to carefully observe our relationship to the stuff to which we cling and to free our minds of attachments which do not serve us. If you were intrigued by Ms. Kondo’s book and would like to dig deeper into the ideas which inspired it, you’ll love Dan Sha Ri.
“If you have ever opened a full closet and found nothing to wear, or stayed with a boyfriend you are no longer in love with, let go of them and try danshari,” Yamashita told a packed room of anxious urbanites on a recent visit to Beijing. “Get rid of the unwanted things so you can build up what you really want.”

She was born and raised in Japan. When she was studying at Waseda University she encountered the three steps of practices – “Dan””Sha” “Ri” which stem from Yoga teaching. Later when she visited Enryaku temple in Shiga prefecture in Japan her body and soul understood the true sense of the altamate minimalism. Since then she started to figure out how we can practice those three yoga teachings not at a temple but at our own closets. After more than 10 years of try and error, she finally succeeded to figure it out. “DanShaRi” was born. Her book sold over 3 miilon copies in Japan and more than 1 million in China and Taiwan.
