SUMMARY:The Sacred Feminine in Gnosticism — 8/18
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, August 18\, 2013 from 2 – 4 pm\, GnosticNYC invites you to a discussion of the Sacred Feminine in Gnosticism. We will discuss the role of women and the female Aeons in Gnostic scriptures. Gnosticism is sometimes called the first feminist religion. This may be an exaggeration\, but they certainly had some interesting ideas about the role of gender in spirituality.\nTo register:\nhttp://www.meetup.com/GnosticNYC/events/128868612/?a=me1_grp&rv=me1\nPriest of the Johannite Church\, experienced nonprofit administrator\, author\, and lover of the esoteric and the arcane. Father Silvia endeavors to provide spiritual practices to people who are new to Gnosticism. His book puts several of these practices in the context of the Johannite Gnostic tradition.

SUMMARY:Help CRS Plan Future Community Events— 9/29
DESCRIPTION:Help us to plan and produce future events & actions! With more help\, we can achieve more. Who wants to get involved?!\nWe will hold an introductory organizational meeting on Sunday\, Sept 29 from 1 – 2:30 pm\, where you can bring in your ideas and we can start to create a road-map for Think Act Change NYC. How can those of us who are here participating now best work TOGETHER? What is the best use of our time\, talents and passion? We can have these meetings periodically as more people join (or get busy and step away) and try to develop these projects organically.\nIf you would like to get involved but can’t attend this time\, let us know. There will be other chances!\nAn agenda for this initial planning meeting might go something like this (but feel free to make suggestions by leaving comments or emailing one of us!):\n1) Introductions — introduce yourself\, your background\, interests\, and talents\n2) Discuss help needed to make projects more impactful and who would like to do what. A lot goes into planning effective events\, from choosing projects\, recruiting guest speakers\, publicizing events\, reaching out to sympathetic groups\, identifying actions that can be taken\, organizing the actions\, preparing written materials (or distribute online only?) and evaluating outcomes.\n3) Should we try to fill roles on an ongoing basis or per project? Should we try to recruit additional people with specific abilities/connections to fill some of these roles?\n4) Suggest & discuss ideas for future events & actions.\n5) Suggest & discuss ideas for fundraising to pay for the programming. \nAbout CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Social Activism\nAs you may know\, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is a center for the teaching and practice of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). Many people see the Course as being solely about changing the mind rather than behavior\, about finding peace in one’s own mind by accepting external circumstances (as being unimportant\, indeed unreal) rather than trying to change them. However\, the Course also says (in an earlier edition) that once your mind returns to love\, \nYou now share my inability to tolerate the lack of love in yourself and in everyone else\, and must join the Great Crusade to correct it. The slogan for this Crusade is ‘Listen\, Learn\, and Do.’ This means Listen to My Voice\, Learn to undo the error\, and do something to correct it. The first two are not enough. The real members of my party are active workers. — A Course in Miracles Urtext (T-1.26).\nTherefore\, we at CRS actively support all forms of social action that are motivated by love and the goal of undoing the obstacles to love in the world. That starts with changing our own minds by returning our own thoughts to love and then spreads when we help others to do the same. \nLearn moreThink Act Change Web Site\nSeptember 2013291 – 2:30 pm

Her work is also on display at Twenty Seven Gallery in Port Jervis\, NY.\nRita Holcberg’s Artist Statement:\n“Please\, come in…”\nMy painting originates from the impressions of the world around me\, being digested\, processed and then transported spontaneously to the canvas.\nOne voice speaking artistically in many different languages.\nColor is my medium.\nI am very thankful for having lived in different countries:  Argentina\, Brazil and the United States. \nThese cultures\, places and their people developed and enriched my life experience.\nMy art is an expression of a lifetime journey among diversity and an invitation for visiting some of these worlds and their creatures.\nDesign\, fashion and the love for the arts are the background where I trained my “eye” developing a sense of rhythm\, balance\,and shape. \nCuriosity challenged my perception looking always for the unknown and the unexpected.\nStill ready to travel the roads less traveled!! \n“Please\, come in… ”\n \nLearn moreArtist BlogArtist Web Site\nthrough Oct 201328Daily

SUMMARY:Goodbye Corporate Life\, Hello Micro-financing! How $25 CAN make a difference — 10/5
DESCRIPTION:When you live in New York\, $25 buys you an unlimited mimosa weekend brunch but in Africa or India a loan of this amount could mean saving someone’s life and providing hope. \nPlease join Think Act Change NYC on Saturday\, Oct 5 2013 from 4 – 5:30 pm to learn first hand from Eileen Flannigan how a $25 loan can really make a tangible impact now with the launch of Kiva Zip. Kiva Zip is a program launched by Kiva\, that enables you to make direct loans to entrepreneurs in Kenya and the United States. You can make a loan today for as little as $25. Over time\, as your loan is repaid\, you get your money back\, and you can then withdraw it\, or re-lend it to another entrepreneur.\nEileen has just finished serving as a Kiva Zip Fellow in Nairobi\, Kenya. Before heading back to Africa again\, Eileen will share with us her story about what inspired her career change and how she successfully made the transition from corporate life to launching the first Kiva Fellow Program in Manipur\, India.\nEileen brings 18 years experience in digital marketing and strategic business initiatives\, which she is now leveraging as she transitions into International Development and Social Entrepreneurship. She is passionate about approaching poverty alleviation and other global issues from a business solutions perspective and un-tapping the potential of women to be entrepreneurs and powerful social leaders in these causes. \nIf you would like to get involved but can’t attend this time\, let us know!\n \nLearn moreThink Act Change Web Site\nOctober 201354 – 5 pm

I still believed that design was inherently good…I wanted to apply it to help solve big problems.” Bravely\, she quit her day job and embraced the unknown\, trusting that her path would become clear.\nViktoria’s humble beginnings with charity: water started with handing out flyers in Union Square. Since then\, she has been able to combine her passion with design and become the Director of Brand Management at charity: water.\ncharity: water is New York based non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. It was founded by Scott Harrison\, a former nightclub promoter who uprooted his life to become a photojournalist for Mercy Corp in Africa.

SUMMARY:Gasland Part II (film screening) – 9/27
DESCRIPTION:Josh Fox\, Director\, 2013\nUSA | 120′ (English)\nOn Friday\, September 27\, 2013 at 7 pm\, CRS invites you to screen and discuss GASLAND PART II. In this explosive follow-up to his Oscar®-nominated film GASLAND\, filmmaker Josh Fox uses his trademark dark humor to take a deeper\, broader look at the dangers of hydraulic fracturing\, or fracking\, the controversial method of extracting natural gas and oil\, now occurring on a global level (in 32 countries worldwide). Following the screening\, we will hold a Q&A with United for Action members Edie Kantrowitz and Ling Tsou.\nThe screening is FREE but seating is limited and first come\, first serve.\nGASLAND PART II\, which premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival\, shows how the stakes have been raised on all sides in one of the most important environmental issues facing our nation today. The film argues that the gas industry’s portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alternative to oil is a myth and that fracked wells inevitably leak over time\, contaminating water and air\, hurting families\, and endangering the earth’s climate with the potent greenhouse gas\, methane. In addition the film looks at how the powerful oil and gas industries are in Fox’s words “contaminating our democracy.”\n“Josh Fox does it again in a brilliant GASLAND sequel”\n— Alison Rose Levy\, Alternet\n“Haunting and Provocative”\n— LA Times\n“The movie builds on Fox’s Academy Award-nominated “Gasland\,” further making the case of how the shale industry’s hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) boom is busting up peoples’ livelihoods\, contaminating air and water\, polluting democracy and serving as a “bridge fuel” only to propel us off the climate disruption cliff.”\n— DeSmogBlog\n  \nDirector\nJosh Fox Josh is the Founder and Producing Artistic Director of the International WOW Company. Josh has written/directed/produced three feature films\, several short films and over twenty-five full- length works for the stage which have premiered in New York\, Asia and Europe. GASLAND\, which Josh wrote\, directed and shot\, premiered at the Sundance film festival 2010\, where it was awarded the 2010 Special Jury Prize for Documentary. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for best documentary\, nominated for four Emmys including best documentary\, best writing and best cinematography\, and awarded the EMMY for best directing. GASLAND was nominated for best Documentary Screenplay by the WGA\, and also awarded the Environmental Media Association Award for best documentary. As a result of Josh’s activism and campaigning on the issue of gas drilling Josh was awarded the 2010 Lennon Ono Grant for Peace by Yoko Ono. \n \nProducer\nTrish Adlesic Trish Adlesic is an Oscar and Emmy nominated documentary Producer. She produced Josh Fox’s GASLAND for HBO and just finished post-production on GASLAND Part II\, also for HBO. A seasoned filmmaker\, Adlesic has spent the past twenty-two years on multiple television and feature film productions. She began her career on the pilot for the hit television show Law and Order.

SUMMARY:EFT Money Mindfulness Mastery Workshop — 11/23–24
DESCRIPTION:Are you wanting more training on how to work with abundance issues with your clients? Are you yourself struggling with money or business success? If so\, you aren’t alone. Did you know that the vast majority of coaches\, alternative health providers\, and entrepreneurs will fail in the first few years of launching their practices? Now more than ever the world needs you to shine!\n $395 with $350 Early Bird Special until 10/23/13\nOpen to the general public and EFT Universe students on the certification track may apply this their second EFT Level II or III requirement.\nEFT trainer Alina Frank has been teaching EFT internationally since 2005. Since 2008 Alina has co-facilitated trainings with her husband and brain research aficionado Dr. Craig Weiner. Alina focuses on demonstrating the techniques that have made her the top in the field in her private practice while Craig explains the science-based dynamics that happen from a mindbody perspective. Together they have provided training excellence to their students and mentees.\nAttending this workshop has been a real blessing in my life. Craig and Alina are absolutely knowledgeable and authetic in their presentation. I gained insight to the increased use of EFT in my life at neutralizing and eradicating limiting beliefs when it comes to money and relationships. It was truly interesting to see what issues came up from my past and to work on untangling them. \nGary Blandina\, Pembroke Pines\, FL \nSure\, there are ways to educate yourself about your business skills\, marketing\, and developing your referral network. However\, these days (according to top executive and business coaches) the #1 reason people fail to achieve success and prosperity is that they carry erroneous but powerful limiting beliefs. The problem is that it is estimated that 95% of those beliefs are actually beyond conscious awareness – trapped in your subconscious mind and acting on your business choices and decisions without you having a say about them! \nWhat are those beliefs that you don’t even know you have?\nHow are those beliefs blocking your opportunities to attracting opportunities that result in a profitable business?\nWhat are the steps you need to take to break the pattern of struggle\, lack and limitation? \nIn Money Mindfulness Mastery we teach you to be present to your personal relationship with prosperity in order to transform it. We’ll be sharing the most cutting-edge EFT tapping techniques woven with innovative skill development exercises  that we’ve used both personally and taught to our clients successfully.\nThis workshop as outstanding! It was my 1st experience with tapping. Even though everyone else was more experienced\, Alina and Craig made sure that we understood everything. I am excited about taking other classes and working towards certification. I am a relationship coach and believe this practice will be a great benefit to my coaching clients as they work through their limiting beliefs. \nMarianne Oehser\, Naples Fl \nOther tools include: \nAn understanding of Money Archetypes and how they are your default programming for how you relate (or don’t!) to money in general\nRight Brain Aerobics (C) exercises to unleash your inner mogul\nProfound money games to expose all your hidden fears around wealth \nIf you are doing the work that you want in the world but barely eek out a living (or like many alternative healing arts practitioners/coaches living below the poverty line) then you can’t afford to miss this opportunity to remove these blocks.\nNow more than ever the world needs you to shine!\nThe blocks on money melted away (fear\, doubt\, can’t) to positive feelings of can do! \nBill Oehser\, Naples FL \nRead ArticlesWatch Videohttp://www.efttappingtraining.com\nNovember 201323–2410 am – 6 pm

For the last ten years she has been a Pilates instructor\, teaching in Bologna\, Milan\, and New York.\nAfter graduating from the Liceo for Science\, Latin and Philosophy in Bologna she obtained her Bachelor ‘s degree in Psychology from the University of Bologna.\nIn 2004\, Flavia moved to New York. Here she continued both her dance career and her studies – deepening her understanding of anatomical biomechanics and the relationship between healthy movement\, harmony and beauty. Flavia helps her students to rediscover the beauty and deep sense of wellness that comes from moving their body in a way that respects its original design.\nFlavia is the creator of Be Beautiful Pilates and the 10 Tools for Grace Secrets. The 10 Tools for Grace Secrets enable the body to move in everyday life with effortless grace\, bring health to the musculoskeletal system and create a sense of serenity in the soul.\nIn 2012 Flavia was honored in New York magazine’s Best of New York issue for Best Pilates Studio and on I-Italy.org.\nNoemi Di Gregorio‘s love story with Pilates started when she was recovering from a hip injury. Pilates helped her to realign her body and move in a more efficient and healthy way. Ever since\, she has dedicated herself to teaching Pilates in a holistic way\, to help clients develop physical strength and peace of mind.\nNoemi has been moving and working with her body all her life. \nOriginally from Switzerland\, Noemi studied as a professional dancer and figure skater\, performing in different productions and short movies in Europe\, Asia\, Canada and the U.S (www.noemidigregorio.com).\nAs a dancer and choreographer she developed a more detailed\, subtle way of working with her body. Her practice of Yoga\, Feldenkrais\, Franklin\, Pilates and Reiki also facilitated the deep understanding of the body.\nIn all of these pursuits\, Noemi learned the discipline and hard work of an athlete. But being a dancer and figure skater is not only physical work; it also requires mental and emotional strength. Noemi developed a strong body-mind connection that helped her being a better performer\, teacher and person. \nIt is this passion for movement and the connection of the mind and body\, which Noemi Di Gregorio strives to pass on to her clients.\nLearn more\nstarting Nov 6 2013Wednesdays 6:30 – 8 pm

SUMMARY:Girl Rising film screening — 10/26
DESCRIPTION:One girl with courage is a revolution.\nRichard Robbins\, Director\, 2013 \nUSA | 101′ (English)\nCRS Community Films and Think Act Change NYC invite you to screen GIRL RISING\, a new feature film about the strength of the human spirit and the power of education to change the world. Afterwards\, we’ll discuss some ways you can get involved with the partner NGOs (see below) to improve educational opportunities for girls around the world. Leading the Q&A will be Lindsay Morris from the GIRL RISING team! \nTickets are $10 and only purchasing online here guarantees you a seat.\nCate Blanchett (Haiti)\, Priyanka Chopra (India)\, Selena Gomez (Sierra Leone)\, Anne Hathaway (Afghanistan)\, Salma Hayek (Peru)\, Alicia Keys (Cambodia)\, Chloë Moretz (Egypt)\, Freida Pinto\, Meryl Streep (Ethiopia)\, and Kerry Washington (Nepal) narrate this inspirational profile of nine girls from across the globe who vow to get an education despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their paths. From Cambodian orphan Sokha to Nepalese composer Suma and nomadic Indian Ruksana\, each of these girls has an incredible story to tell as they strive to get a proper education\, and realize their true potential. In hearing those stories\, we discover how a single girl with drive and determination can become the catalyst for positive change on a global scale.\nEach girl is paired with a renowned writer from her native country: Marie Arana (Peru)\, Edwidge Danticat (Haiti)\, Mona Eltahawy (Egypt)\, Aminatta Forna (Sierre Leone)\, Zarghuna Kargar (Afghanistan)\, Maaza Mengiste (Ethiopia)\, Sooni Taraporevala (India)\, Manjushree Thapa (Nepal)\, and Loung Ung (Cambodia).\nGirl Rising also features Freida Pinto and Liam Neeson\, with original music from Academy Award-winner Rachel Portman and Lorne Balfe.\nGirl Rising is the centerpiece of 10×10\, a global campaign to educate and empower girls. The executive producers of Girl Rising are Tom Yellin\, Holly Gordon\, Paul G. Allen and Jody Allen. Girl Rising booked an exclusive nationwide engagement in 169 Regal Cinemas April 19-25\, 2013. \nWebsite and teaser trailer:\nhttp://10x10act.org/girl-rising/\nAbout 10×10 \n10×10 was founded by award-winning journalists at the Documentary Group and Vulcan Productions\, along with strategic partner\, Intel Corporation. 10×10 is built on a foundation of partnerships with NGOs\, corporations\, policy makers\, and grassroots organizations – all working to change minds\, lives\, and policy.\n10×10’s coalition of NGO partners include a high-impact network of champions and leaders in girls’ education. These organizations provide life-changing services to girls every day\, and are among the best practitioners of their kind. They include: A New Day Cambodia\,CARE USA\, Girl Up/UN Foundation\, Partners in Health\, Plan International USA\, Room to Read\, and World Vision.\n  \nAbout CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Social Activism\nAs you may know\, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is a center for the teaching and practice of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). Many people see the Course as being solely about changing the mind rather than behavior\, about finding peace in one’s own mind by accepting external circumstances (as being unimportant\, indeed unreal) rather than trying to change them. However\, the Course also says (in an earlier edition) that once your mind returns to love\, \nYou now share my inability to tolerate the lack of love in yourself and in everyone else\, and must join the Great Crusade to correct it. The slogan for this Crusade is ‘Listen\, Learn\, and Do.’ This means Listen to My Voice\, Learn to undo the error\, and do something to correct it. The first two are not enough. The real members of my party are active workers. — A Course in Miracles Urtext (T-1.26).\nTherefore\, we at CRS actively support all forms of social action that are motivated by love and the goal of undoing the obstacles to love in the world. That starts with changing our own minds by returning our own thoughts to love and then spreads when we help others to do the same. \nLearn moreThink Act Change Web Site\nOctober 2013263 – 6 pm

SUMMARY:Think Act Change: How Doulas\, Midwives and Home Births Are Revolutionizing the Business of Being Born — 11/16
DESCRIPTION:Ricki Lake\, Executive Producer\, 2008\nAbby Epstein\, Director\nUSA | 87′ (English)\nCRS Community Films and Think Act Change NYC invite you to screen and discuss THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN\, an eye-opening examination of childbirth methods — including midwives\, natural births\, epidurals\, and Cesarean sections. Built around a graphic scene in which its executive producer\, Ricki Lake\, the actress and former talk-show host\, gives birth on camera to her second child at home in a bathtub attended by a midwife\, this culture-changing documentary awakened millions of women to the possibility that traditional birthing methods can provide a safe and superior experience for mother and child. \nStill widely practiced in Europe and Japan\, home birth has largely disappeared in the United States due to the American health care system’s portrayal of it as a primitive\, unsanitary ritual. This film compels families to reconsider that notion\, probing the obscured reasons why traditional birthing practices became so marginalized in the United States and why\, despite having the most expensive and medicalized birth care in the world\, the US now ranks only 50th in maternity survival rate.\nTickets are free but seating is limited and first come\, first serve. \nDoula Chanel Porchia from Ancient Song Doula Services will be joining us to talk about her calling into midwifery and the training certification her organization provides to help women of color from low income families get the quality maternal care they need to give birth and care for child. Chanel founded Ancient Song Doula Services in the Fall of 2008 after experiencing the birth of her first child at home. She is the mother of four beatuiful children\, an Activist\, a Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula\, a Certified Lactation Counselor\, a Midwifery Assistant and Student\, a Vegan Chef\, and a Certified Holistic Health Counselor specializing in High Risk Mothers\, Multiples\, and Survivors of Sexual Trauma and DV. She is also the co-trainer for ASDS trainings. \nAncient Song Doula Services’ mission is to offer all women\, regardless of their socio-economic standing\, quality Doula Care and to empower young mothers to make healthy choices in their lives. Ancient Song is committed to the lowering of the Infant Mortality Rate by changing the way mothers view birthing\, advocating on behalf of all mothers\, and challenging the current healthcare system’s quality of care regardless of one’s socio-economic standing.\nWhat is a doula? \nThe word “doula” comes from the ancient Greek meaning “a woman who serves” and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical\, emotional and informational support to the mother before\, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. — DONA International\n  \nAbout CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Social Activism\nAs you may know\, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is a center for the teaching and practice of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). Many people see the Course as being solely about changing the mind rather than behavior\, about finding peace in one’s own mind by accepting external circumstances (as being unimportant\, indeed unreal) rather than trying to change them. However\, the Course also says (in an earlier edition) that once your mind returns to love\, \nYou now share my inability to tolerate the lack of love in yourself and in everyone else\, and must join the Great Crusade to correct it. The slogan for this Crusade is ‘Listen\, Learn\, and Do.’ This means Listen to My Voice\, Learn to undo the error\, and do something to correct it. The first two are not enough. The real members of my party are active workers. — A Course in Miracles Urtext (T-1.26).\nTherefore\, we at CRS actively support all forms of social action that are motivated by love and the goal of undoing the obstacles to love in the world. That starts with changing our own minds by returning our own thoughts to love and then spreads when we help others to do the same. \nWatch trailerThink Act Change Web Site\nNovember 2013164:15 pm

SUMMARY:Psychodynamic Yoga with Akiva Daube — Monday nights
DESCRIPTION:Classes are Mondays from 6 – 7 pm and cost $15.\nIn this on-hour class\, students will be verbally guided into a deep state of gentle movement\, breath and body sensing known as Yoga Nidra (literally “sleep of the yogi”). No experience\, skill\, discipline or flexibility is required. Yoga Nidra is an ancient Tantric Yoga practice that induces physical\, mental and emotional relaxation while one remains alert and awake. It is also a profound experience of self-inquiry designed to facilitate awakening to one’s true nature. In this natural state of consciousness\, even though the world is dim and relaxation is deep—as in deep sleep—there remains an inward lucidity that can be recalled later.\nAbout Akiva Daube M.A.\, R.Y.T.\nAkiva Daube is a Yoga Alliance certified teacher (RYT). He has taught for many years in numerous locations throughout the New York City area. He is also a full-time student of Psychoanalysis (New York Graduate School of Psychoanalysis) and was an assistant editor of The Journal of Modern Psychoanalysis. Additionally\, he completed an internship at Bellevue Hospital’s Chemical Dependency Unit (HHC) and has served extensively as a counselor for suicide prevention. Akiva also spent a year in intensive residential training at the San Francisco Zen Center. \nhttp://psychodynamicyoga.com

Currently she hires ten marimba and piano instructors\, and has about 300 students. The majority of her students go on to further their studies at well known Japanese universities that specialize in music. Between 2006 and 2007\, she performed and was well received at the Cultural Ministry\, Nomura Securities\, Seibu Department Group\, Japan Agricultural Association\, as well as many other prominent places. She is a special member of Japan Xylophone Association. Over the years she studied marimba from Ms. Mutsuko Taneya\, Ms. Michiko Takakhashi and Mr. Eiichi Asabuki.\nListen.\nhttp://www.immusics.com\nAbout Yokko\nYokko is remarkable for having lost her hair at a young age but perservered to become a professional performer anyway. Refusing to see herself as a victim\, she chose instead to explore the roots of her dis-ease and discovered her true strength and beauty — and her father’s love. Eventually she was able to transform her experience into a fearless\, funny and intimate one-woman show\, BALDY\, which she has shown in NYC and Hollywood and will next year share at CRS. \nYokko (performer & writer) is an actor & a movement artist from Japan\, came to the United States to study theatre in Oregon and Albany. She received her MFA in Acting from the Actors Studio Drama School in New York City. Her Credits include BALDY (Hollywood Fringe Festival2013\, Fringe NYC 2012)\, BUTOH Electra (Irondale Center & Fringe NYC 2011)\, The Woolgatherer\, The Producers (ASDS Repertory season)\, Odyssey (The Wings Theatre) and Othello (Looking Glass Theatre). Dance Credits include: FACET (Hollywood Fringe Festival 2013)\, Autumn Leaves (KGB Show\, Kraine Theatre)\, and many others. She is a member of The Ume Group\, and VOID Theatre Company in NYC. She is also founder of JPAC (Japanese Performing Arts Company)\, and has shared Japanese culture through classical Japanese dance and stage combat within drama. \nhttp://www.yokko-online.com \nAbout Baldy\nA courageous Japanese woman discovers her father’s love only after she loses her hair and skin. In this fearless\, funny and personal show\, Yokko brings to life nearly a dozen characters\, merging movement and memories into a narrative exploring kinship\, cultural expectations and personal identity and weaves the fantastic with the ordinary in her ongoing search for a singular voice.\nhttp://yokkobaldy.weebly.com\n \n \nDecember 2013146 – 10 pm

Donations to support the Festival are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and can be made via PayPal from the Festival’s web site.\nRated SR Films are entertaining\, enlightening\, uplifting but most of all artistically appealing.\n“Audiences have become saturated with this type of [violent storytelling] content and are seeking more intelligent content worldwide. World Cinema has already been engaged in this alternative of “Non violent storytelling” for a long time. In these films the story unfolds in a natural way driven by the characters and situations they find themselves in\, and not by violent and aggressive human interaction whether or not arms and weaponry are involved\,” said Armani in an interview for Filmmaker Lifestyle. \n \nAbout Festival Founding Artistic Director Nora Armani\nNora Armani is an award-winning actor/filmmaker with extensive experience in organizing film events and curating or guest-curating film festivals internationally.

Many people see the Course as being solely about changing the mind rather than behavior\, about finding peace in one’s own mind by accepting external circumstances (as being unimportant\, indeed unreal) rather than trying to change them.

SUMMARY:Open Rehearsal: "π=3.14… Ramallah-Fukushima-New York-Maracaibo. Endless Peripheral Border" by Yoshiko Chuma & the School of Hard Knocks — 11/15
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, Nov 15 at 7 pm\, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) invites you to an open rehearsal of “π=3.14… Ramallah-Fukushima-New York-Maracaibo. Endless Peripheral Border” by Yoshiko Chuma & the School of Hard Knocks. Guests will preview a dance sequence performed by Miriam Parker\, Rebeca Medina\, and Kensaku Shinohara and are invited to discuss the work with the artists afterward. The rehearsal and discussion will last about 90 minutes and is free but a donation of $15 to support the work is suggested.\nNow created for four performers — Parker\, Medina\, and Shinohara plus one local dancer and one musician who will join the cast in Venezuela — this latest iteration in the π=3.14 series\, heretofore shown only in intimate venues\, is being prepared for performance in an 800-seat venue as part of the Festival Internacional de Danza de Maracaibo on Nov 29\, 2013 in Venezuela. The work continues to intentionally confuse documentation with history\, recreating steep segments from Chuma’s own documented events in Ramallah\, Fukushima\, and Bogota. From this material\, she assembles a mosaic of dancers\, images\, filmed interviews and musical selections whose content has the effect of framing theater with barbed wire. \n“When you meet other cultures\, you focus on how different you are\, but eventually you realize that you are not so different. Creation begins by looking at that gap. And that gap was what made me an artist.” — Yoshiko Chuma\, Founder of The School of Hard Knocks \nPhotograph by Kit Fitzgerald from the latest “π=3.14…” series presented at La MaMa La Galleria in Jul 2013\nPictured:   Mina Nishimura\n \nYOSHIKO CHUMA (artistic director & choreographer of The School of Hard Knocks\, USA and artistic director of the Daghdha Dance Company in Limerick\, Ireland from 2000–03) was born in Osaka\, Japan and has lived in the United States since 1978. Chuma has created more than 45 full-length company works\, commissions and site-specific events for venues across the world\, constantly challenging the notion of performing for both audience and participant. Her work has been presented in New York in venues ranging from the Joyce Theater to the legendary annual Halloween Parade; and abroad in such locations as the former National Theater of Sarajevo\, the perimeter of the Hong Kong harbor and at an ancient ruin in Macedonia.Yoshiko Chuma is the recipient of several fellowships and awards\, including those from the Guggenheim Foundation\, National Endowment for the Arts\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, Japan Foundation\, Meet the Composer Choreographer/Composer Commission and Philip Morris New Works. She has led workshops and master classes throughout Eastern and Western Europe\, Asia\, Russia and the U.S.\nLearn moreArtist BlogArtist Web Site\nNov 2013157 pm

SUMMARY:Think Act Change:  Meet Activists Bill Ayers & Mitchel Cohen to Benefit WBAI Radio — 11/18
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of WBAI Free Speech Radio 99.5fm\, join us for a freewheelin’ chat with Bill Ayers (activist/author/educator and co-founder of the Weather Underground)\, Mitchel Cohen (writer\, activist\, poet\, former chair WBAI-FM Local Board)\, and Rachel Laforest (Executive Director\, Right to the City). Grab a cup of joe downstairs at Think Coffee or bring a brown bag lunch if you like\, and have your questions ready:  each has a new book out and a lot to say about what you can do to help save WBAI Free Speech Radio and make the world a better place! \nThe doors will open at 1:15 pm and the chat will begin at 1:30ish. This is a co-presentation of Think Act Change NYC meetup.\nWBAI is facing a difficult budget crunch and we encourage you to make a donation at the door. WBAI is listener-supported radio.

The McCain campaign spent millions of dollars demonizing Ayers specifically and castigating Senator Obama for\, in Sarah Palin’s deathless phrase\, “pallin’ around with terrorists.” \n \nThat wasn’t the first time Ayers found his face plastered all over the media under the label “terrorist.” After his memoir Fugitive Days\, the story of his life in Students for a Democratic Society and later the Weather Underground\, was published on September 10\, 2001\, he came under furious fire from right-wing media\, which bizarrely tied him to the World Trade Center tragedy. Over the years\, at the hands of the radical Right\, Bill Ayers has become a household name and a public enemy. In reality\, Ayers is a dedicated teacher\, father\, and social justice advocate\, and his “shady past” is actually the story of an ardent antiwar activist. \n \nAyers was hosting his graduate students at his Hyde Park home during the 2008 presidential debate in which his neighbor Barack Obama was confronted about their association. Public Enemy begins there and then flashes back to tell Ayers’s story from the moment he and his wife\, Bernardine Dohrn\, emerged from years on the run and rebuilt their lives as public figures\, often celebrated for their community work but much hated by the radical Right. \nIn the face of defamation by conservative media\, and despite frequent death threats\, Bill and Bernardine stay true to their core beliefs in the power of protest\, dissent\, and deep commitment to the welfare of others. Ayers recounts his adventures with the Tea Party\, including memorable scenes of “confessing” under entertaining duress that he was indeed the author of Obama’s Dreams from My Father\, of hosting a dinner party for Fox News stars\, of being banned from college campuses and\, in one case\, from an entire country. He also takes us along to the red carpet at the Oscars\, to prison vigils and the Greek islands\, and ultimately back to his Hyde Park home\, where his activism and commitment to a life that refuses to make a mockery of his values allow him to make the most of his post as America’s leading public enemy.  \n  \nWhat is Direct Action?\nBy Mitchel Cohen\nView this Author’s Spotlight \nPaperback\, 596 Pages \nPreview \n \nHow to change the world.

Many people see the Course as being solely about changing the mind rather than behavior\, about finding peace in one’s own mind by accepting external circumstances (as being unimportant\, indeed unreal) rather than trying to change them. However\, the Course also says (in an earlier edition) that once your mind returns to love\, \nYou now share my inability to tolerate the lack of love in yourself and in everyone else\, and must join the Great Crusade to correct it. The slogan for this Crusade is ‘Listen\, Learn\, and Do.’ This means Listen to My Voice\, Learn to undo the error\, and do something to correct it. The first two are not enough. The real members of my party are active workers. — A Course in Miracles Urtext (T-1.26).\nTherefore\, we at CRS actively support all forms of social action that are motivated by love and the goal of undoing the obstacles to love in the world. That starts with changing our own minds by returning our own thoughts to love and then spreads when we help others to do the same.\nWe frequently partner with Think Act Change NYC to host documentary film screenings\, NGO and social entrepreneurship talks\, workshops\, and panel discussions. \nThink Act Change NYC is a meetup group for changemakers\, thinkers\, innovators\, entrepreneurs or anyone who is passionate about social innovation\, social enterprise or simply doing good. At our meetups we want to talk about ideas\, but more importantly we want to connect people to enable them to act on their ideas in order to implement real change.\nThis video pretty much sums us up!\nMake sure to like us on Facebook & follow us on Twitter we’ll keep you posted on all things awesome that you can do to change the world! \nLearn moreThink Act Change Web Site\nNovember 2013181:15 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  LIGHT — Paintings by Aoi Nakamura — 12/8 – 12/22
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce LIGHT\, an exhibition of paintings by Japan-based painter and pottery artist Aoi Nakamura from December 8 –  22\, 2013. The exhibition consists of 15 abstract and semi-abstract works in acrylic on canvas.\nIn lieu of an opening reception\, we invite everyone to meet the artist at the CRS Holiday Reception on Saturday\, Dec 14 from 8:30 – 10 pm ($15 at the door).\nABOUT LIGHT\n“Motherly soft light in nature\, beautiful shine\, dynamic and powerful energy\, lights lying in the deep human soul\, lights that come from the unconscious mind — those are the things I would like to express in my paintings.\n“Today\, we face many problems\, hardships\, agonies and conflicts both on a social and personal level but\, whatever those things are\, I believe that there always are rays of hope. When I paint\, I always try to look into an image that comes from my unconscious mind and have such rays of light spread out in my work.” — Aoi Nakamura\nAoi Nakamura’s Artist Statement:\n“My work expresses the power of nature\, the force of life\, flow of energy\, dynamism of nature and human sub-consciousness. My inspiration for art comes from such individuals as Haruki Murakami\, Carl Gustav Jung\, Claude Dsbussy\, and Kenji Miyazawa\, and also from dreams and fantasies. Interplay of Eastern and Western philosophies are also reflected in my paintings.\n“My experiences as a professional acupuncturist and oriental herbal medicine pharmacist practitioner for over ten years has also influenced my art. Through diagnosing many patients\, I often realize that many of them tend to resort to quick and instant recovery through western medicine and forget to pay attention to the power of natural healing that each individual originally has. When they recover through my acupuncture session\, they often seem to remember the power of life force and enter into what Jung refers to as “an individuation process and avhieve personal wholeness.” I hope that\, through my art\, people can feel and sense such power of natural healing.”\n— Aoi Nakamura\nAbout Aoi Nakamura\nAoi studied abstract painting at “The Art Students League of New York\, NY” and “Durham Arts Council\, NC”.  She graduated from Mimbi-Attached Institutes of Japan Art Association\, Tokyo Japan. Her paintings were displayed at such exhibitions as ”Salon des Artistes Independants in Japan” (Society of Independent Artists) and Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum Student Exhibition (Ueno\, Tokyo).\nAfter engaging in her creative activity at an atelie in Kamakura (a historic town near Tokyo)\, she has moved to NY\, where she focuses on abstract paintings.  \nAoi is a licensed acupuncturist as well as herbal medicine practitioner.\nhttp://aoinakamura.com\ne-mail:  aoinyart@gmail.com\nLearn moreArtist BlogArtist Web Site\nDecember 20138 – 22Daily

SUMMARY:Baldy by Yokko — 1/24 – 26
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents the solo performance BALDY by Yokko. BALDY is a fearless\, funny and intimate\, nine-character\, one-woman show looking backing on writer/performer Yokko’s traumatic experience of losing her hair — and then most of her skin — at age 19. Refusing to see herself as a victim\, she chose instead to explore the roots of her dis-ease\, eventually discovering her true strength and beauty — and her father’s love.\nPerformances will take place at CRS on Friday and Saturday\, January 24 & 25\, 2014 at 8 pm and Sunday\, January 26 at 3 pm. General admission tickets are $20. Tickets for students and seniors with valid ID are $15 at the door. $15 early-bird tickets are available through Jan 19.\n BALDY has been previously presented in to sold out audiences in the New York International Fringe Festival (2012)\, the Hollywood Fringe Festival (2013)\, and the United Solo Theatre Festival at Theatre Row (2013).\nIn this heartfelt examination and meditation on cultural and familial expectation\, self-doubt and personal identity\, Yokko grounds herself in her story as much as she does in the present moment\, and her commitment to both is admirable. With or without hair\, Baldy is a thing of wonder. — Rochelle Denton\, nytheaternow.com \nAbout Yokko\nYokko (performer & writer) is an actor & a movement artist from Japan\, came to the United States to study theatre in Oregon and Albany.
