SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Thinking Forward (Opening Reception 8/3)
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce an exhibition of photographs taken in Bangladesh by Misako Ono and in Ethiopia by Emily Piper documenting specific actions this generation is taking to make the world better for the next. Photographs documenting some of the women depicted in the documentary HALF THE SKY are also included as well as photos of some of the girls who have received educational assistance from HALF THE SKY featured NGO Room to Read. The exhibition will open on August 3 and close on August 29\, 2013. An Opening Reception with the photograpers and light refreshments will be held on Saturday\, August 3\, 2013 from 6 – 7:30 pm. \nAny profits from the sale of the photographs will be donated to the Eleshu Kellensoo Mokonissa Primary School Library in Kellensoo\, Ethiopia\, which has been funded by Think Coffee and its partners Nardos Exports & The Bushwick Seed Company. Following the Opening Reception\, photographer Emily Piper will speak about the project and screen and discuss the documentary film BLACK GOLD. HALF THE SKY will be screened at CRS on August 10 from 2:30 – 7 pm.\nAbout Photographer Misako Ono\nMisako’s interest in photography began in her freshmen year of high school when she took a digital photography class. Finding passion in capturing the life around her and sharing it with others\, she furthered her learning by taking pre-college courses at Rhode Island School of Design and Pratt Institute. She is now a rising junior at Tufts University\, studying Sociology and Mass Communications while taking photographs for the campus daily newspaper and publications. This past year\, she focused on multimedia storytelling in the Program for Narrative and Documentary Practices at Tufts taught by photojournalists Gary Knight and Samuel James. Using multimedia as a platform to look at social issues\, she completed a project documenting the story of a homebirth midwife working in the Boston area\, bringing attention to this alternative process of birth. At the end of the year\, the program took her on a workshop to Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, where she created a photo essay about a mother living in the slums of the megacity. The camera is a tool for her to connect with the people she captures and to understand the world. Misako would like to keep pursuing and developing skills to become a documentary photographer.\nMisako Ono Artist Statement:\nShortly after I picked up a camera for the first time\, photography became my alternative mode of communication. It provided a creative connection that soothed and stimulated my shy nature. English was my second language\, yet sharing my photography enabled me to open up and navigate my adolescent years. My studies in college piqued an interest in social justice\, at which point I turned to predominantly documentary photography. Upon discovering the power of visual language\, I decided I wanted my photographs to tell stories and provide voices to those who are either silenced or too quiet to be heard. At the end of my sophomore year\, I was given the opportunity to travel to Bangladesh and create a documentary photo project of my choice. I chose to chronicle a housewife for my project because this single woman represents a vast population of women with every valid reason to speak up but no ability to do so. With my photos\, I hope to provide an honest look into a world that deserves awareness and a platform for people to connect and bring change to the issues.\nAbout Photographer Emily Piper\nEmily Piper recently graduated from NYU with a Master’s in Food Systems. She traveled with Think Coffee to Peru and Ethiopia to discover more about the people and places that create our coffee. Emily will soon begin her first year as a middle school teacher in Miami\, Florida\, where she will work to include food production and consumption in her science classes. \n \nAbout Think Coffee\nThink Coffee is a New York-based coffee company that has bought coffee from the Kellensoo region in the past. For the past several years\, Think Coffee has been an outstanding neighbor to CRS\, contributing to the cost of our renovation in 2010 and never failing to act in a thoughtful and neighborly fashion. We are delighted to have this opportunity to collaborate with them on a project dear to their hearts and ours.\nAbout Room to Read\nWe envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education\, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world.\nTo achieve this goal\, we focus on two areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact: literacy and gender equality in education.  We work in collaboration with communities and local governments across Asia and Africa to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children\, and support girls to complete secondary school with the life skills they’ll need to succeed in school and beyond.\nLearn moreArtist BlogArtist Web Site\nAugust 201336 – 7:30 pm

SUMMARY:Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide (film screening) – 8/10
DESCRIPTION:Maro Chermayeff\, 2012\nUSA | 224′ (English)\nTake an unforgettable journey with six actress/advocates and New York Times journalist Nicholas Kristof to meet some of the most courageous individuals of our time\, who are doing extraordinary work to empower women and girls everywhere. These are stories of heartbreaking challenge\, dramatic transformation and enduring hope. You will be shocked\, outraged\, brought to tears. Most important\, you will be inspired by the resilience of the human spirit and the capabilities of women and girls to realize their staggering potential.\nHALF THE SKY is a passionate call-to-arms\, urging us not only to bear witness to the plight of the world’s women\, but to help to transform their oppression into opportunity. Our future is in the hands of women\, everywhere.\nPresented by Think Act Change NYC and CRS\, this screening is FREE but seating is limited! As the film is nearly four hours long\, there will be an intermission with light refreshments\, and there will also be a guest speaker and Q&A following the screening.\nA suggested donation of $10 at the door will go towards the HALF THE SKY featured NGO’s to support their ongoing work for women across the world: \nGrameem Foundation \nSomaly Mam Foundation \nRoom to Read \nWe encourage everyone to bring a friend\, neighbor\, family member or co-worker along to this event. It is without doubt\, one of the most important documentary to watch in this century.\n  \n \nHALF THE SKY premiered as a four-hour television series for PBS and international broadcast\, shot in 10 countries: Cambodia\, Kenya\, India\, Sierra Leone\, Somaliland\, Vietnam\, Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, Liberia and the U.S. Inspired by the book of the same name by Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn\, the documentary series introduces women and girls who are living under some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable — and fighting bravely to change them. Traveling with intrepid reporter Nicholas Kristof and A-list celebrity advocates America Ferrera\, Diane Lane\, Eva Mendes\, Meg Ryan\, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde\, the film reflects viable and sustainable options for empowerment and offers an actionable blueprint for transformation. \nAcross the globe oppression is being confronted\, and real meaningful solutions are being fashioned through health care\, education\, and economic empowerment for women and girls. The linked problems of sex trafficking and forced prostitution\, gender-based violence\, and maternal mortality — which needlessly claim one woman every 90 seconds — present to us the single most vital opportunity of our time: the opportunity to make a change. All over the world women are seizing this opportunity.\nIn additional to the documentary\, this landmark transmedia project features\, a Facebook-hosted social action game\, mobile games\, two websites\, educational video modules with companion text\, a social media campaign supporting over 30 partner NGOs\, and an impact assessment plan all inspired by Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide\, the widely acclaimed book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.\nAbout the Film’s Six Segments\n1) Eva Mendes in Sierra Leone (Gender Based Violence): Mendes and Kristof report on a situation where most attacks against women go unreported. They meet up with a representative (Amie Kandeh) of the International Rescue Committee whose efforts to educate and protect women are tireless.\n2) Meg Ryan in Cambodia (Sex Trafficking): In this episode\, Ryan and Kristof meet a leader in the anti-trafficking struggle (Somaly Mam). In a country where about a third of the prostitutes are children\, Mam personalizes the story as she herself was sold into the sex trade as a child. Her efforts to rehabilitate brothel girls packs a strong emotional punch.\n3) Gabrielle Union in Vietnam (Education): Union and Kristof visit the country with John Wood. As a marketing executive with Microsoft\, Wood has introduced Room to Read which is an organization that promotes both literacy and equal opportunity education for girls within developing nations. As girls can be seen as second class citizens in places like Vietnam\, they sometimes are pulled from school and not given the same opportunities as boys.\n4) Diane Lane in Somaliland (Maternal Mortality): The unpleasant fact in Somaliland is that one in twelve women die in childbirth. A combination of poor nutrition\, female genital mutilation\, and general neglect have made the act of giving life an unprecedented danger. They meet Edna Adan who has started the country’s first maternal health facility.\n5) America Ferrera in India (Forced Prostitution): In India\, there are about 3 million prostitutes with 1.2 million of them being children. Girls often follow their mothers into the trade with no other outlet. Here we meet Urmi Basu who works in the infamous red light district to try to break down these patterns and conventions.\n6) Olivia Wilde in Kenya (Education): Wilde visits the Shining Hope for Communities organization and the Kibera School for Girls. Here we see a tuition free education established for promoting the advancement and opportunity of local girls who never had access to such things before.\n— summary provided by K. Harris on Amazon.com\n  \nThink Act Change is a new monthly meetup where changemakers\, thinkers\, innovators\, entrepreneurs or anyone who is passionate about social innovation\, social enterprise or simply doing good meet once a month. 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.\nMore information coming soon at www.thinkactchange.org Starting local. Going global.\nFILM+VIDEO SHOW & TELL provides a forum for local and independent filmmakers to share and discuss their work and ideas.

SUMMARY:Bag It (film screening) – 7/27
DESCRIPTION:Suzan Beraza\, Director\, 2010\nUSA | 78′ (English)\nOn Saturday\, July 27\, 2013 at 4 pm\, CRS & THINK ACT CHANGE invite you to screen and discuss BAG IT\, a documentary looking at all the plastic we use everyday and how it impacts the environment — in ways we didn’t realize. We will end with Q&A discussion on products / ways we can all individually reduce our plastic footprint to make the world a better place.\nThe screening is FREE but seating is limited. Registering online is recommended (but not required).\nAmericans use 60\,000 plastic bags every five minutes-single-use disposable bags that we mindlessly throw away. But where is “away?” Where do the bags and other plastics end up\, and at what cost to our environment\, marine life and human health? Bag It follows “everyman” Jeb Berrier as he navigates our plastic world. Jeb is not a radical environmentalist\, but an average American who decides to take a closer look at our cultural love affair with plastics. Jeb’s journey in this documentary film starts with simple questions: Are plastic bags really necessary? What are plastic bags made from? What happens to plastic bags after they are discarded? Jeb looks beyond plastic bags and discovers that virtually everything in modern society-from baby bottles\, to sports equipment\, to dental sealants\, to personal care products-is made with plastic or contains potentially harmful chemical additives used in the plastic-making process. When Jeb’s journey takes a personal twist\, we see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up with us and what we can do about it. Today. Right now. \nFilming Locations: Bahamas\, England\, Germany\, Ireland\, Midway Atoll\, and the U.S. (California\, Colorado\, Hawaii\, Michigan\, New York\, Seattle\, Washington DC)\n  \nBag It Intro from Suzan Beraza on Vimeo. \n \nFilmmakers\nSuzan Beraza\, Director: Born in Jamaica and raised in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic\, Suzan Beraza’s thought-provoking films challenge viewers to examine their lives and consider the impact of their choices. Her films have appeared on national public television in the United States\, and at many festivals\, winning top awards at Worldfest\, Montreal Film Festival\, and Mountainfilm in Telluride\, among others. Previous films include Life’s A Beach\, American Outrage\, Blue Planet Run\, Water\, A Clear Solution and Troubled Waters: The Dilemma of Dams.\nJeb Berrier\, Talent: Jeb Berrier is the host for a morning television show on Plum TV. Working for Plum\, Berrier won an Emmy® award for his coverage of the 2008 Democratic Convention. Berrier also works as an actor and director in theater\, film\, and television commercials and was a member of the National Shakespeare Company in New York City in the mid-1990s. He also produces the annual Telluride Comedy Festival.\nMichelle Hill\, Producer: Michelle has only recently discovered the art of film production. She is an artist\, small business owner and environmentalist. She believes that one of the most important things anyone can do to make the world a better place is to constantly gain new perspectives on life. Documentary film production has been a perfect way to integrate her many skills and talents. Bag It is her first film.\nJudith Kohin\, Executive Producer: Judith was the executive director of the Ah Haa School for the Arts-one of southwest Colorado’s most successful arts organizations-from 1991-2006. Under her leadership\, the Ah Haa School served thousands of students\, hosted hundreds of arts exhibitions and raised more than a million dollars for arts programming\, facilities\, and financial aid.\nLearn moreWatch trailerResources\nJuly 201327 4 pm

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

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

SUMMARY:Think Act Change:  Finding Courage to Quit Your Job and Seek Meaningful Work — 11/2
DESCRIPTION:For many of us the thought of leaving the corporate world to do something meaningful can be daunting. CRS & Think Act Change NYC invite you to hear guest Viktoria Harrison share her story of leaving the commercial fashion world to volunteer for charity: water.\nHarrison attended the School of Visual Arts and began her career at SuperFad\, a NYC design house. Feeling burnt out by her job as a designer\, “I started wanting something more. 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. When he returned from his trip\, he started charity: water — an organization which focuses on providing clean and safe water in developing countries around the world. charity: water is the future of social enterprises. 100% of donations directly fund projects to provide clean water to people in need.\nThis Meetup is FREE but to show your appreciation for this event you can contribute to our charity: water funding raising group page to help us reach our goal of $500\, which will get 25 people clean water! \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.

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).

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

She also has held numerous solo-recitals called “Midori’s Concert” which is well known in Japan. Although she is quite active as a performer\, Midori has the biggest Marimba school in the world. 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

SUMMARY:Being What Is — Mondays from 7 – 9 pm
DESCRIPTION:Join Orya for a weekly gathering and experience of being what is.\nConnect with other like-minded people who support one another and learn from each-other.\nMost of us are still sleeping\, pretending to be disconnected. Humanity’s journey from competition to cooperation is at infancy. Together\, we can support each-other in this wake-up process and hold each-other accountable to show up in our lives. For real.\nLet’s wake up and create with heart.\nAncient wisdom\, indigenous technology and sacred text all have their place in the unfolding of the present\, but who will write the next chapter? We ARE!\nEvery week we explore new ‘conversation starters’ and go into a discussion and experience that promotes an expanded state of mind\, heart\, body\, soul… and everything in between and all around.\nFor more information visit Orya @ www.beingwhatis.com\nLearn more\nstarting Nov 4\, 2013Mondays 7 – 9 pm

SUMMARY:2014 Socially Relevant Film Festival Benefit — 11/23
DESCRIPTION:CRS Community Films invites you to an exclusive sneak-preview of and benefit for the 2014 Rated SR — Socially Relevant Film Festival New York! See clips of some of the submitted films\, vote for your favorites\, and learn how you can help make the Festival happen.  If you ever wanted to ask questions of an internationally successful film producer\, director and festival organizer\, now’s your chance!\nThis inspiring undertaking is the brainchild of founding Artistic Director Nora Armani helped by a team of dedicated collaborators\, such as Laurence Hoffman (Director of Programming)\, Valentina Bertozzi and Aude Lambert (Marketing and Sales)\, Lucie Tripon (Production Assistant) and Interns (Marion Avril and Marine Marcenac – NYIT students). Takeaway:  If they can do it\, so can you!\nThe Festival will take place March 14 – 20\, 2014 with all screenings at The Quad Cinema in Greenwich Village. Submissions are still being accepted through December 15!\nRATED SR is a festival and film lab that aims to satisfy a market need concentrating on everyday positive human stories while offering an alternative to the proliferation of violence & crime in films\, and to an assaultive movie going experience. www.ratedsrfilms.org\nThe mission of Rated SR Socially Relevant Film Festival New York is to support filmmakers who deal with socially relevant content by encouraging them to produce socially relevant films that are often overshadowed in the marketplace. 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.

For more information see full bio and filmography on: www.noraarmani.com\nhttp://www.imdb.me/noraarmani\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 moreRated SR Film Festival Web Site\nNovember 2013234 – 6 pm
