SUMMARY:M³ Festival Day 3
DESCRIPTION:Mutual Mentorship for Musicians (M³)\, is a visionary and non-hierarchical mentorship initiative created by musicians Jen Shyu and Sara Serpa. Their 2nd annual in-person M³ Festival will feature 21 bandleaders across three-days – September 21-23\, 2023 at Roulette. \nDay 3 \n\nNaomi Moon Siegel Quintet Naomi Moon Siegel (trombone)\, Leonor Falcón (violin)\, Jessica Ackerley (guitar)\, TBD (bass) & Frankie Patcher (drums)\nRuth Naomi Floyd and Vino Ruth Naomi Floyd (vocals)\, Vino (double bass)\, Sumi Tonooka (piano)\, Keith Loftis (tenor saxophone) & TBA (Drums)\nbright bright (Jessica Ackerley and Joan Sue) Jessica Ackerley (guitar) & Joan Sue (vocals + electronics)\nSONG and Saxreligious Quintet  SONG (voice and effects)\, Eli Maliwan AKA Saxreligious (tenor saxophone)\, Caili O’Doherty (keys)\, Ethan Cohn (bass) & Eliza Salem (Drums)\n\nSee Day 1 schedule. \nSee Day 2 schedule. \nM³ Festival 2023 co-presented with Roulette is supported by Doris Duke Charitable Foundation\, mediaThe foundation\, Kenneth Rainin Foundation\, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)\, and New Music USA’s Organization Fund in 2023-24. \nM³ began as a labor of love and research between its co-founders\, vocalist-composers Jen Shyu and Sara Serpa\, who are also active composers\, teachers\, and performers. When the Covid-19 lockdown began in NYC in March of 2020\, Shyu and Serpa began conversations about elevating women and non-binary musicians\, particularly women and non-binary musicians of color\, in their global music community. Based on their own experiences of limited access to female and non-binary mentors as they began their careers – the majority of their mentors being older male musicians – they combined concepts of mutual mentorship and group support to create a model that addresses the gaps and imbalances in the music industry. The project was born out of the need for greater community\, opportunity\, and support among women and nonbinary composers in creative music. M³ proposes a new paradigm of mentorship and collaboration guided by a deep sense of fair treatment of all M³’s cohort members\, collaborators and team members\, striving for just distribution of compensation\, visibility and opportunities. \nIn just a few years\, Mutual Mentorship for Musicians (M³) has commissioned over a very wide range of women\, non-binary\, and mostly BIPOC musicians to create numerous new duo music/video compositions across five cohort cycles\, each lasting 6-10 months. \nIn the relentless pursuit of balance and diversity\, this lineup of composer-performers was thoughtfully curated to embody innovation across genres. The M³ Festival serves as a testament to the power of inclusivity\, demonstrating that when intentions focus on fostering a diverse and inclusive community of musicians and creators\, it unlocks a world of boundless possibilities.

SUMMARY:Guided Meditation with Yasuko Kasaki in English (on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:from 6:30 – 7 pm\nFollowed by ACIM Class from 7 – 8 pm (same Zoom link) \nZoom Meeting Link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81541160040 \nCall-in info:\nMeeting ID: 815 4116 0040\nOne tap mobile: 1-929-436-2866 \nSuggested class donation $20 via PayPal to https://www.paypal.me/crsny\n(no one turned away due to lack of funds) \nPlease join me in the sharing of miracles. Here\, your mind can come to rest and you can remember true peace. No experience with meditation is required\, and everyone is welcome. I 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. \nEach week I 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. At the end of the meditation you will have a chance to respond briefly if you like. \nSome students have been practicing 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. \nABOUT YASUKO KASAKI \nYasuko Kasaki is an internationally beloved spiritual writer\, counselor\, healer\, lecturer and translator from Tokyo. She is widely recognized as the person most responsible for the spread of A Course in Miraclesthroughout Japan. In 2004 she founded CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)\, the first and only spiritual center devoted to the teaching and practice of A Course in Miracles in New York City. She has taught and worked with thousands of people from around the world to help resolve their mental and physical issues and witness miracles. She presents at the CMC’s annual ACIM Conferences in the U.S.\, and several times a year she gives large seminars throughout Japan. She has also been presented internationally at ACIM conferences and workshops in the U.K.\, Spain\, Germany\, and Israel. \nYasuko is the author of The Scales Fell from My Eyes: An Illustrated Course in Miracles and 17 books in Japanese about the Course\, as well as numerous novels\, short stories\, essays and collections of photographs. Her translations of the ACIM Workbook and of books by Course teachers Jon Mundy\, Gabrielle Bernstein and David Hoffmeister have also been published in Japan. Yasuko’s spiritual writing and lectures are celebrated for their clearly stated explanations of complex concepts illustrated by captivating personal stories of struggle and triumph\, drawn from her long career as a writer\, motorcyclist\, and spiritual counselor. Meditation and communication with Holy Spirit form the foundation of her practice.

SUMMARY:Guided Meditation with Chris in English (on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 21 from 6:30 – 7 pm\nFollowed by ACIM Class from 7 – 8 pm (same Zoom link) \nZoom Meeting Link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81541160040 \nCall-in info:\nMeeting ID: 815 4116 0040\nOne tap mobile: 1-929-436-2866 \nSuggested class donation $20 via PayPal to https://www.paypal.me/crsny\n(no one turned away due to lack of funds) \nPlease join me in the sharing of miracles. Here\, your mind can come to rest and you can remember true peace. No experience with meditation is required\, and everyone is welcome. I 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. \nOur meditation may take the form of creative visualization\, 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. At the end of the meditation you will have a chance to respond briefly if you like. \nSome students have been practicing 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.

SUMMARY:In-Person Guided Meditation & Spiritual Healing Clinic with Yasuko Kasaki & CRS Healers
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to invite you back to CRS in person for an afternoon of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual community! Let’s witness the light in one another and share stillness and peace of mind. We’ll begin with a short talk and guided meditation by Yasuko and then share our one-on-one spiritual healing with you. After we can enjoy some social time together. \nBring any issue you are facing right now — physically\, emotionally\, mentally\, and/or spiritually. With eyes closed (you will be seated and a healer will stand nearby; no touching is involved)\, a CRS healer\, trained in A Course in Miracles and spiritual reading/healing\, will observe you with his inner sight\, free of any judgments\, as your truly are\, a perfect shining spirit. Together\, will ask the Holy Spirit (or Inner Guide if you prefer) to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and ask for guidance about how your spirit really wants to make use of your present situation for its growth and sharing of love. After about 10 minutes of meditation\, we will share the inspirational guidance that we receive. \nSuggested Donation $20 cash. No one turned away due to lack of funds.\nRSVP REQUIRED to etsuko@crsny.org\nProof of vaccination is not required but you are welcome to wear a mask while present. And if you have any COVID/cold symptoms\, please do not come this time.  \nWe share healing quietly and provide you with an opportunity to come to rest\, reflect\, and remember who you truly are\, in a supportive\, non-judgmental\, meditative environment. We’d like to offer you an opportunity to experience stillness of mind and peace so that you can return to harmony with your true nature and purpose. Then you will find that rather than needing “solutions” to “problems” you will realize that you have no problems except those that you project. \nWe call this spiritual healing but it is not religious nor connected with any church or group. It is simply a practice of meditating together on our true nature and connecting with universal spirit/energy or what you will. \nA Note About the Role of Words in Healing: “Strictly speaking\, words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer\, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart\, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand words\, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful\, particularly for the beginner\, in helping concentration and facilitating the exclusion\, or at least the control\, of extraneous thoughts. Let us not forget\, however\, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality….” — A Course in Miracles Manual for Teachers\, Section 21 \n“Since only the mind can be sick\, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing.” —”PSYCHOTHERAPY: Purpose\, Process and Practice\,”Supplements to A Course in Miracles

Conceived of during the pandemic by the renowned Korean traditional multi-instrumentalist\, curator\, and scholar gamin\, Paradise Laboratory provides musical artists with opportunities to rehearse\, record\, film\, and perform with other musical\, visual\, and/or dance artists in an experimental\, process-oriented\, and artist-centered fashion. \nTickets are $10 for students/seniors and $20 general admission. \nTICKET LINK:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/crs-presents-beyond-flute-trio-tickets-720169294747\n \nVENUE LOCATION:\nThe White Room at CRS\n123 4th Ave FL3\nNew York\, NY 10003\n212-677-8621 \nDIRECTIONS:\nCRS is located on the 3rd floor of a walk-up building above Think Coffee\, between 12th & 13th streets\, one block east of The Strand Bookstore. There is no elevator or wheelchair access. \nNEAREST SUBWAY STATIONS:  \n4/5/6\, N/R/Q\, L trains to 14th St / Union Square \nCheryl Pyle\, the versatile flutist received her BA in music from the University of California at Berkeley\, having received her Associates Degree from Mesa College. Her teachers included Merrill Jordan\, Janet Maestre\, Francis Watson\, and Jayn Rosenfeld. Since moving to New York in the fall of 1980\, Ms. Pyle has been heard in a variety of settings. As well as composing\, Ms Pyle has performed and recorded with such fine musicians as Joe Lovano\, Fred Hersch\, Tom Harrell\, Billy Bang\, Danilo Perez\, Billy Hart\, Ben Monder\, Duduka Fonseca\, Charlie Haden\, James Williams\, John Abercrombie\, Paul Motian\, Bern Nix\, Ratzo Harris\, and many other great musicians. Recording her first quartet cd for her own 11th street music label\, she and her jazz groups have been playing many clubs and concerts. The 11th street music label has released many original cds and mp3 cds. Her most recent free jazz groups in 2023 are the Beyond Flute Group and the all women Musique Libre Femmes. \nhttps://www.allaboutjazz.com/member-cheryl-pyle \nRema Hasumi is an experimental pianist\, vocalist\, producer and writer who is based out of Brooklyn\, NY. Hasumi was born in 1983 in Fukuoka\, Japan\, and moved to the United States in 2002 to pursue her passion for music\, which was nurtured through more than ten years of classical piano study and the listening experiences of her audiophile parent’s record collection. Hasumi has performed at venues across NY\, the United States and Asia. \nIn 2009 she performed at the Kennedy Center as one of the four finalists of Mary Lou Williams Women In Jazz Pianist Competition. In 2014\, upon invitation by acclaimed vocalist Jen Shyu\, Hasumi presented her solo work “The Patterns of Duplicity” at a series of “Solo Rites” concerts by Ms. Shyu. The piece featured the poetry “Spring and Asura” (1925) by Kenji Miyazawa interpreted in multiple languages\, exploring the possibilities of musical ideas unique and inherent to each language. Hasumi has also worked extensively as both pianist and vocalist in many other projects\, including a series of collaborations with the saxophonist Darius Jones in which they performed the music of Alice Coltrane. She has also worked as the vocalist in the guitarist Todd Neufeld’s new two-drummer group. Hasumi’s new trio premiered in June 2015 in two nights of concerts in NYC. It featured compositions she wrote for piano and voice\, performed alongside the great Randy Peterson and Masa Kamaguchi. \nHer first record “UTAZATA” was released in May 2015 from Ruweh Records\, which she runs as a co-founder. It features the highly sympathetic cast of Todd Neufeld (guitar)\, Thomas Morgan (bass)\, Billy Mintz (drums)\, and fiery guest musicians Ben Gerstein (trombone) and Sergio Krakowski (pandeiro). The group interprets the themes of Japanese Gagaku and ritual music. This record was made as a result of mindful searching on femininity\, mythology and rituals in Japanese performing arts. In 2016\, Hasumi released a trio recording “Billows of Blue” featuring Randy Peterson and Masa Kamaguchi. Her most recent album and a solo recording\, called “Abiding Dawn”\, reveals Hasumi’s sound world all alone\, layering and unlayering voice\, piano and analog synthesizers in a seamless journey of eight gorgeous tracks. The word and the wordless\, the pitched and the unpitched all meet in Hasumi’s voice\, while her piano honors the influences of Alice Coltrane and Masabumi Kikuchi\, met squarely on her own honest terms. The use of synthesizer\, a vintage Korg Delta DL-50\, serves to encompass and meld the sonic meal. \nhttps://remahasumi.bandcamp.com \nYuko Togami is a drummer and composer currently based in New York City\, originally from Saitama\, Japan. She was exposed to music from a very early age as she was always watching her mother teach piano and Eurhythmics. She started taking Eurhythmics classes and playing piano when she was about 5. Later on\, she also started playing marimba and studied classical music until she graduated from high school. While she was in high school\, she got attracted to drums and began taking drum lessons. A couple years later\, she started performing as a drummer based in Tokyo. In 2013\, she moved to New York City to pursue further musical studies at the City College of New York. She received a scholarship from The Kaye Scholars Program\, and studied privately with Adam Cruz\, Nasheet Waits\, and Ben Street. She graduated with her BFA degree in jazz performance and The Pro Musica Award from City College\, and has performed with many different musicians and projects including Steve Wilson\, Mike Holober\, Scott Reeves\, Ben Paterson\, Mark Wade\, Jakob Dreyer\, Takaaki Otomo\, Nori Naraoka\, Berta Moreno\, Maksim Perepelica\, Latvian Concert Choir\, Musicsnake\, Kijima Sound System. Her debut album “Dawn” was released in April 2018\, and has won a Silver Medal at the 2018 Global Music Awards for Outstanding Achievement. \nhttps://www.yukotogami.com/ \nABOUT THE PRESENTER \nCRS (CENTER FOR REMEMBERING & SHARING) is a spiritual healing and art center founded in 2004 by the writer/lecturer/spiritual counselor Yasuko Kasaki and artist Christopher Pelham.

SUMMARY:CRS Presents Crossing Boundaries 21: gamin x yuniya edi kwon: OO / LL / IM
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents the 21st concert in its Crossing Boundaries series\, gamin x yuniya edi kwon: OO / LL / IM\, curated by gamin\, at Abrons Art Center as part of the @Abrons Series. OO / LL / IM is an interdisciplinary ritual performance – a passageway through which grief\, entanglements\, and historical cycles might reverberate and be witnessed. As artists of a diverse Korean continuum\, gamin and kwon approach performance as spiritual spaces containing at once tradition and experimentalism\, and through their explorations of improvisation\, composition\, text\, and movement\, they create openings for new syncretic lineages to emerge. \nAs a duo\, gamin and yuniya edi kwon will experiment with movement\, ancient / contemporary sounds\, improvised melody\, literature\, and space to create a ritualistic journey toward healing. gamin and edi enter the crossroads with different identities but similar interests. gamin was born in Korea and influenced by traditional culture while she practiced traditional music\, but she has a strong bond with contemporary music\, exploring ideas of openness and freedom. edi is Korean American\, influenced by American culture while practicing violin in various contexts but also strongly connecting with Korean shamanic ritual through her unique and beautiful presence. \nTICKET LINK:\nhttps://shorturl.at/hyCJ6\n \nABOUT CROSSING BOUNDARIES CONCERT SERIES \nCROSSING BOUNDARIES is a concert series devoted to dissolving boundaries between performers and audiences\, the traditional and contemporary\, classical and experimental\, and the culturally specific and the global. Series curators are given the opportunity to create unique performance events in collaboration with musical\, visual\, and/or movement artists of their choosing. The series was conceived in 2018 by the Korean traditional wind player and composer gamin\, who has continued to help curate the series each year. https://crsny.org/crossing-boundaries-concert-series/ \nCrossing Boundaries is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement\, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and administered by LMCC. LMCC empowers artists by providing them with networks\, resources\, and support\, to create vibrant\, sustainable communities in Manhattan and beyond. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \ngamin (b. 1976 – also known as Gamin Kang) is a distinguished soloist who tours the world performing both traditional Korean music and cross-disciplinary collaborations. gamin plays 3 traditional winds\, and is a designated Yisuja\, official holder of Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 46 for Piri Court Music and Royal Military music. Re-inventing new sonorities from ancient\, somewhat restrictive\, musical systems\, gamin has received several cultural exchange program grants\, including Artist-in-Residence at the Asian Cultural Council\, and Ministry of Culture\, Republic of Korea. gamin has collaborated in cross-cultural improvisation with world-acclaimed musician presenting premieres at Roulette Theater\, New School\, and Metropolitan Museum. gamin was featured artist at the Silkroad concert\, Seoul\, 2018\, performing on-stage with Yo-Yo Ma. gamin’s scheduled Carnegie Hall début for 2020 March\, as featured soloist\, with the Nangye Gugak Orchestra\, was postponed due to covid.

Her practice connects composition\, improvisation\, movement\, and ceremony to explore transformation & transgression\, ritual practice as a tool to queer space & lineage\, and the use of mythology to connect\, obscure\, and reveal. As a composer-performer and improviser\, she is inspired by Korean folk timbres & inflections\, textures & movement from natural environments\, and American experimentalism as shaped by the AACM. Her work as a choreographer and movement artist embodies an expressive release and reclamation of colonialism’s spiritual imprints\, connecting to both Japanese Butoh and a lineage of queer trans practitioners of Korean shamanic ritual. In addition to an evolving\, interdisciplinary solo practice\, she performs and collaborates with artists of diverse disciplines\, including The Art Ensemble of Chicago\, Senga Nengudi\, Du Yun\, Tomeka Reid\, Holland Andrews\, International Contemporary Ensemble\, Kenneth Tam\, Isabel Crespo Pardo\, Moor Mother\, and Degenerate Art Ensemble. She has performed alongside Roscoe Mitchell\, Mary Halvorson\, Nicole Mitchell\, Cory Smythe\, Henry Threadgill\, Susan Alcorn\, Carla Kihlstedt\, Jessika Kenney\, Lesley Mok\, Satomi Matsuzaki\, and others.

Hasumi was born in 1983 in Fukuoka\, Japan\, and moved to the United States in 2002 to pursue her passion for music\, which was nurtured through more than ten years of classical piano study and the listening experiences of her audiophile parent’s record collection. Hasumi has performed at venues across NY\, the United States and Asia. \nIn 2009 she performed at the Kennedy Center as one of the four finalists of Mary Lou Williams Women In Jazz Pianist Competition. In 2014\, upon invitation by acclaimed vocalist Jen Shyu\, Hasumi presented her solo work “The Patterns of Duplicity” at a series of “Solo Rites” concerts by Ms. Shyu. The piece featured the poetry “Spring and Asura” (1925) by Kenji Miyazawa interpreted in multiple languages\, exploring the possibilities of musical ideas unique and inherent to each language. Hasumi has also worked extensively as both pianist and vocalist in many other projects\, including a series of collaborations with the saxophonist Darius Jones in which they performed the music of Alice Coltrane.

In 2016\, Hasumi released a trio recording “Billows of Blue” featuring Randy Peterson and Masa Kamaguchi. Her most recent album and a solo recording\, called “Abiding Dawn”\, reveals Hasumi’s sound world all alone\, layering and unlayering voice\, piano and analog synthesizers in a seamless journey of eight gorgeous tracks. The word and the wordless\, the pitched and the unpitched all meet in Hasumi’s voice\, while her piano honors the influences of Alice Coltrane and Masabumi Kikuchi\, met squarely on her own honest terms. The use of synthesizer\, a vintage Korg Delta DL-50\, serves to encompass and meld the sonic meal. \nhttps://remahasumi.bandcamp.com \nYuko Togami is a drummer and composer currently based in New York City\, originally from Saitama\, Japan.

SUMMARY:In-Person Guided Meditation & Spiritual Healing Clinic with Yasuko Kasaki & CRS Healers
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to invite you back to CRS in person for an afternoon of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual community! Let’s witness the light in one another and share stillness and peace of mind. We’ll begin with a short talk and guided meditation by Yasuko and then share our one-on-one spiritual healing with you. After we can enjoy some social time together. \nBring any issue you are facing right now — physically\, emotionally\, mentally\, and/or spiritually. With eyes closed (you will be seated and a healer will stand nearby; no touching is involved)\, a CRS healer\, trained in A Course in Miracles and spiritual reading/healing\, will observe you with his inner sight\, free of any judgments\, as your truly are\, a perfect shining spirit. Together\, will ask the Holy Spirit (or Inner Guide if you prefer) to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and ask for guidance about how your spirit really wants to make use of your present situation for its growth and sharing of love. After about 10 minutes of meditation\, we will share the inspirational guidance that we receive. \nSuggested Donation $20 cash. No one turned away due to lack of funds.\nRSVP REQUIRED to etsuko@crsny.org\nProof of vaccination is not required but you are welcome to wear a mask while present. And if you have any COVID/cold symptoms\, please do not come this time.  \nWe share healing quietly and provide you with an opportunity to come to rest\, reflect\, and remember who you truly are\, in a supportive\, non-judgmental\, meditative environment. We’d like to offer you an opportunity to experience stillness of mind and peace so that you can return to harmony with your true nature and purpose. Then you will find that rather than needing “solutions” to “problems” you will realize that you have no problems except those that you project. \nWe call this spiritual healing but it is not religious nor connected with any church or group. It is simply a practice of meditating together on our true nature and connecting with universal spirit/energy or what you will. \nA Note About the Role of Words in Healing: “Strictly speaking\, words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer\, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart\, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand words\, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful\, particularly for the beginner\, in helping concentration and facilitating the exclusion\, or at least the control\, of extraneous thoughts. Let us not forget\, however\, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality….” — A Course in Miracles Manual for Teachers\, Section 21 \n“Since only the mind can be sick\, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing.” —”PSYCHOTHERAPY: Purpose\, Process and Practice\,”Supplements to A Course in Miracles

He is also a healer\, writer\, photographer\, filmmaker\, occasionally an performer\, and a curator/producer of music\, dance\, theater\, film and visual arts events\, as well as the organizer of a Sufi Dance Community. \nhttps://chrispelham.com \nRema Hasumi is an experimental pianist\, vocalist\, producer and writer who is based out of Brooklyn\, NY. Hasumi was born in 1983 in Fukuoka\, Japan\, and moved to the United States in 2002 to pursue her passion for music\, which was nurtured through more than ten years of classical piano study and the listening experiences of her audiophile parent’s record collection. Hasumi has performed at venues across NY\, the United States and Asia. \nIn 2009 she performed at the Kennedy Center as one of the four finalists of Mary Lou Williams Women In Jazz Pianist Competition. In 2014\, upon invitation by acclaimed vocalist Jen Shyu\, Hasumi presented her solo work “The Patterns of Duplicity” at a series of “Solo Rites” concerts by Ms. Shyu. The piece featured the poetry “Spring and Asura” (1925) by Kenji Miyazawa interpreted in multiple languages\, exploring the possibilities of musical ideas unique and inherent to each language. Hasumi has also worked extensively as both pianist and vocalist in many other projects\, including a series of collaborations with the saxophonist Darius Jones in which they performed the music of Alice Coltrane. She has also worked as the vocalist in the guitarist Todd Neufeld’s new two-drummer group. Hasumi’s new trio premiered in June 2015 in two nights of concerts in NYC. It featured compositions she wrote for piano and voice\, performed alongside the great Randy Peterson and Masa Kamaguchi. \nHer first record “UTAZATA” was released in May 2015 from Ruweh Records\, which she runs as a co-founder. It features the highly sympathetic cast of Todd Neufeld (guitar)\, Thomas Morgan (bass)\, Billy Mintz (drums)\, and fiery guest musicians Ben Gerstein (trombone) and Sergio Krakowski (pandeiro). The group interprets the themes of Japanese Gagaku and ritual music. This record was made as a result of mindful searching on femininity\, mythology and rituals in Japanese performing arts. In 2016\, Hasumi released a trio recording “Billows of Blue” featuring Randy Peterson and Masa Kamaguchi. Her most recent album and a solo recording\, called “Abiding Dawn”\, reveals Hasumi’s sound world all alone\, layering and unlayering voice\, piano and analog synthesizers in a seamless journey of eight gorgeous tracks. The word and the wordless\, the pitched and the unpitched all meet in Hasumi’s voice\, while her piano honors the influences of Alice Coltrane and Masabumi Kikuchi\, met squarely on her own honest terms. The use of synthesizer\, a vintage Korg Delta DL-50\, serves to encompass and meld the sonic meal. \nhttps://remahasumi.bandcamp.com \nYuko Togami is a drummer and composer currently based in New York City\, originally from Saitama\, Japan. She was exposed to music from a very early age as she was always watching her mother teach piano and Eurhythmics. She started taking Eurhythmics classes and playing piano when she was about 5. Later on\, she also started playing marimba and studied classical music until she graduated from high school. While she was in high school\, she got attracted to drums and began taking drum lessons. A couple years later\, she started performing as a drummer based in Tokyo. In 2013\, she moved to New York City to pursue further musical studies at the City College of New York. She received a scholarship from The Kaye Scholars Program\, and studied privately with Adam Cruz\, Nasheet Waits\, and Ben Street. She graduated with her BFA degree in jazz performance and The Pro Musica Award from City College\, and has performed with many different musicians and projects including Steve Wilson\, Mike Holober\, Scott Reeves\, Ben Paterson\, Mark Wade\, Jakob Dreyer\, Takaaki Otomo\, Nori Naraoka\, Berta Moreno\, Maksim Perepelica\, Latvian Concert Choir\, Musicsnake\, Kijima Sound System.

Hasumi was born in 1983 in Fukuoka Japan and moved to the United States in 2002 to pursue her passion for music which was nurtured through more than ten years of classical piano study and the listening experiences of her audiophile parent’s record collection. Hasumi has performed at venues across NY the United States and Asia. \nIn 2009 she performed at the Kennedy Center as one of the four finalists of Mary Lou Williams Women In Jazz Pianist Competition. In 2014 upon invitation by acclaimed vocalist Jen Shyu Hasumi presented her solo work “The Patterns of Duplicity” at a series of “Solo Rites” concerts by Ms. Shyu. The piece featured the poetry “Spring and Asura” (1925) by Kenji Miyazawa interpreted in multiple languages exploring the possibilities of musical ideas unique and inherent to each language. Hasumi has also worked extensively as both pianist and vocalist in many other projects including a series of collaborations with the saxophonist Darius Jones in which they performed the music of Alice Coltrane. She has also worked as the vocalist in the guitarist Todd Neufeld’s new two-drummer group. Hasumi’s new trio premiered in June 2015 in two nights of concerts in NYC. It featured compositions she wrote for piano and voice performed alongside the great Randy Peterson and Masa Kamaguchi. \nHer first record “UTAZATA” was released in May 2015 from Ruweh Records which she runs as a co-founder. It features the highly sympathetic cast of Todd Neufeld (guitar) Thomas Morgan (bass) Billy Mintz (drums) and fiery guest musicians Ben Gerstein (trombone) and Sergio Krakowski (pandeiro). The group interprets the themes of Japanese Gagaku and ritual music. This record was made as a result of mindful searching on femininity mythology and rituals in Japanese performing arts. In 2016 Hasumi released a trio recording “Billows of Blue” featuring Randy Peterson and Masa Kamaguchi. Her most recent album and a solo recording called “Abiding Dawn” reveals Hasumi’s sound world all alone layering and unlayering voice piano and analog synthesizers in a seamless journey of eight gorgeous tracks. The word and the wordless the pitched and the unpitched all meet in Hasumi’s voice while her piano honors the influences of Alice Coltrane and Masabumi Kikuchi met squarely on her own honest terms. The use of synthesizer a vintage Korg Delta DL-50 serves to encompass and meld the sonic meal. \nhttps://remahasumi.bandcamp.com \nYuko Togami is a drummer and composer currently based in New York City originally from Saitama Japan.

SUMMARY:In-Person Guided Meditation & Spiritual Healing Clinic with Yasuko Kasaki & CRS Healers
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the final Guided Meditation & Spiritual Healing Clinic in our White Room at 123 4th Ave. The next time we gather it will be at a new location. \nLet’s witness the light in one another and share stillness and peace of mind. We’ll begin with a short talk and guided meditation by Yasuko and then share our one-on-one spiritual healing with you. After we can enjoy some social time together. We have a number of things for which we need to find new homes so please stay and shop as well! \nBring any issue you are facing right now — physically\, emotionally\, mentally\, and/or spiritually. With eyes closed (you will be seated and a healer will stand nearby; no touching is involved)\, a CRS healer\, trained in A Course in Miracles and spiritual reading/healing\, will observe you with his inner sight\, free of any judgments\, as your truly are\, a perfect shining spirit. Together\, will ask the Holy Spirit (or Inner Guide if you prefer) to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and ask for guidance about how your spirit really wants to make use of your present situation for its growth and sharing of love. After about 10 minutes of meditation\, we will share the inspirational guidance that we receive. \nSuggested Donation $20 cash. No one turned away due to lack of funds.\nRSVP REQUIRED to etsuko@crsny.org\nProof of vaccination is not required but you are welcome to wear a mask while present. And if you have any COVID/cold symptoms\, please do not come this time.  \nWe share healing quietly and provide you with an opportunity to come to rest\, reflect\, and remember who you truly are\, in a supportive\, non-judgmental\, meditative environment. We’d like to offer you an opportunity to experience stillness of mind and peace so that you can return to harmony with your true nature and purpose. Then you will find that rather than needing “solutions” to “problems” you will realize that you have no problems except those that you project. \nWe call this spiritual healing but it is not religious nor connected with any church or group. It is simply a practice of meditating together on our true nature and connecting with universal spirit/energy or what you will. \nA Note About the Role of Words in Healing: “Strictly speaking\, words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer\, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart\, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand words\, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful\, particularly for the beginner\, in helping concentration and facilitating the exclusion\, or at least the control\, of extraneous thoughts. Let us not forget\, however\, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality….” — A Course in Miracles Manual for Teachers\, Section 21 \n“Since only the mind can be sick\, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing.” —”PSYCHOTHERAPY: Purpose\, Process and Practice\,”Supplements to A Course in Miracles

SUMMARY:Guided Meditation with Chris in English (on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81541160040 \nCall-in info:\nMeeting ID: 815 4116 0040\nOne tap mobile: 1-929-436-2866 \nSuggested class donation $20 via PayPal to https://www.paypal.me/crsny\n(no one turned away due to lack of funds) \nPlease join me in the sharing of miracles. Here\, your mind can come to rest and you can remember true peace. No experience with meditation is required\, and everyone is welcome. I 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. \nOur meditation may take the form of creative visualization\, 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. At the end of the meditation you will have a chance to respond briefly if you like. \nSome students have been practicing 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.

SUMMARY:CRS Presents Crossing Boundaries 23: “Unfolding Circle” by Oto Mugen
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents Crossing Boundaries Concert Series vol. 23: “Unfolding Circle”by Oto Mugen. Led by Rema Hasumi (composition\, piano\, keyboards\, vocals) with Adam Lane on acoustic bass and Randy Peterson on drums\, the trio curates an immersive auditory journey\, crafting a diverse array of soundscapes that gently lead listeners from introspective meditation to transformative catharsis. \nSets start at 7:30 and 9 pm and one ticket is good for either set or both. Drinks are available in the Jazz Gallery lounge before and after each set. \nThe audience will experience fleeting yet profound interplay between tension and release\, chaos and calm. The concert creates a space where we share a moment of unfolding\, where what we carry transforms in the presence of collective experience. \nOto Mugen\nThe group came together in 2022 as a project led by Rema Hasumi (piano\, synthesizers\, voice)\, joined by Randy Peterson (drums) and Adam Lane (acoustic bass). Hasumi and Peterson had previously collaborated on an album\, during which they developed a distinct approach to improvisational interplay. The name “Oto Mugen\,” meaning “infinite sounds” in Japanese\, reflects the group’s vision of crafting boundless soundscapes that push the edges of musical exploration\, venturing into uncharted sonic territories. \nRema Hasumi is a New York-based sound designer and improviser whose eclectic background spans classical\, jazz\, and experimental music. Her recent work involves compositions and improvisations with analog synthesizers\, electronics\, and vocals. Her musical influences range from Alice Coltrane and Sun Ra to Masabumi Kikuchi\, Paul Bley\, and Ran Blake\, among others. \nhttp://rema-hasumi.com/ \nTICKET LINK:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/crs-presents-crossing-boundaries-23-unfolding-circle-by-oto-mugen-tickets-1044380990657\n \nVENUE LOCATION:\nThe Jazz Gallery\n1158 Broadway 5th floor\nNew York\, NY 10001 \nDIRECTIONS:\nThe Jazz Gallery is located on the northeast corner of Broadway and 27th Street. \nNEAREST SUBWAY STATIONS:\n28th Street R/W\n23rd Street F/M\n23rd Street or 33rd Street 4/6 \nABOUT CROSSING BOUNDARIES CONCERT SERIES \nCROSSING BOUNDARIES is a concert series devoted to dissolving boundaries between performers and audiences\, the traditional and contemporary\, classical and experimental\, and the culturally specific and the global.

X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents Crossing Boundaries Concert Series vol. 23: “Unfolding Circle”by Oto Mugen. Led by Rema Hasumi (composition piano keyboards vocals) with Adam Lane on acoustic bass and Randy Peterson on drums the trio curates an immersive auditory journey crafting a diverse array of soundscapes that gently lead listeners from introspective meditation to transformative catharsis. \nSets start at 7:30 and 9 pm and one ticket is good for either set or both. Drinks are available in the Jazz Gallery lounge before and after each set. \nThe audience will experience fleeting yet profound interplay between tension and release chaos and calm. The concert creates a space where we share a moment of unfolding where what we carry transforms in the presence of collective experience. \nOto Mugen\nThe group came together in 2022 as a project led by Rema Hasumi (piano synthesizers voice) joined by Randy Peterson (drums) and Adam Lane (acoustic bass). Hasumi and Peterson had previously collaborated on an album during which they developed a distinct approach to improvisational interplay. The name “Oto Mugen” meaning “infinite sounds” in Japanese reflects the group’s vision of crafting boundless soundscapes that push the edges of musical exploration venturing into uncharted sonic territories. \nRema Hasumi is a New York-based sound designer and improviser whose eclectic background spans classical jazz and experimental music. Her recent work involves compositions and improvisations with analog synthesizers electronics and vocals. Her musical influences range from Alice Coltrane and Sun Ra to Masabumi Kikuchi Paul Bley and Ran Blake among others. \nhttp://rema-hasumi.com/ \nTICKET LINK:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/crs-presents-crossing-boundaries-23-unfolding-circle-by-oto-mugen-tickets-1044380990657\n \nVENUE \nThe Jazz Gallery\n1158 Broadway 5th floor\nNew York NY 10001 \nDIRECTIONS:\nThe Jazz Gallery is located on the northeast corner of Broadway and 27th Street. \nNEAREST SUBWAY STATIONS:\n28th Street R/W\n23rd Street F/M\n23rd Street or 33rd Street 4/6 \nABOUT CROSSING BOUNDARIES CONCERT SERIES \nCROSSING BOUNDARIES is a concert series devoted to dissolving boundaries between performers and audiences the traditional and contemporary classical and experimental and the culturally specific and the global.
