SUMMARY:Lastics Stretch Class — Tuesday afternoons
DESCRIPTION:with Donna Flagg\nTuesdays from 12 – 1 pm\nFee:  $20/class (inquire about class cards)\nLastics is a one-hour stretch class created by Donna Flagg that teaches you how to articulate your body in ways that elongate muscles from end-to-end. It was born from the world of dance and designed to increase your flexibility while improving body awareness through a special mind/muscle connection.\n“Lastics is a great way to prepare your body for any kind of movement. Within one class I saw a huge improvement in my flexibility\, as well as my balance and control. This truly works wonders!” — Marina Micalizzi\, Billy Elliot on Broadway\n“I found muscles that I never felt before and was much more limber than usual afterwards.” — Randy Foye\, Los Angeles Clippers\, NBA\n“Lastics has been completely new and rewarding experience for the Joffrey Academy students. It has helped them think about using their muscles in different ways in ballet class as it incorporates exercises that both stretch and strengthen muscles.” — Anna Reznik\, Academy Artistic Director\, Joffrey Chicago\n“It’s definitely a different approach to stretching that works. It released the gripping I’d been feeling in my lower and middle back.” — Andrew Feldman\, M.D.\, Chief of Sports Medicine\, St. Vincent’s Medical Center\, Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery\, New York Medical College and New York Rangers Head Team Physician \nDONNA FLAGG\nFOUNDER / CREATOR \nLearn more\nstarting Oct 22 2013Tuesdays 12 – 1 pm

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

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

SUMMARY:Think Act Change: How Doulas\, Midwives and Home Births Are Revolutionizing the Business of Being Born — 11/16
DESCRIPTION:Ricki Lake\, Executive Producer\, 2008\nAbby Epstein\, Director\nUSA | 87′ (English)\nCRS Community Films and Think Act Change NYC invite you to screen and discuss THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN\, an eye-opening examination of childbirth methods — including midwives\, natural births\, epidurals\, and Cesarean sections. Built around a graphic scene in which its executive producer\, Ricki Lake\, the actress and former talk-show host\, gives birth on camera to her second child at home in a bathtub attended by a midwife\, this culture-changing documentary awakened millions of women to the possibility that traditional birthing methods can provide a safe and superior experience for mother and child. \nStill widely practiced in Europe and Japan\, home birth has largely disappeared in the United States due to the American health care system’s portrayal of it as a primitive\, unsanitary ritual. This film compels families to reconsider that notion\, probing the obscured reasons why traditional birthing practices became so marginalized in the United States and why\, despite having the most expensive and medicalized birth care in the world\, the US now ranks only 50th in maternity survival rate.\nTickets are free but seating is limited and first come\, first serve. \nDoula Chanel Porchia from Ancient Song Doula Services will be joining us to talk about her calling into midwifery and the training certification her organization provides to help women of color from low income families get the quality maternal care they need to give birth and care for child. Chanel founded Ancient Song Doula Services in the Fall of 2008 after experiencing the birth of her first child at home. She is the mother of four beatuiful children\, an Activist\, a Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula\, a Certified Lactation Counselor\, a Midwifery Assistant and Student\, a Vegan Chef\, and a Certified Holistic Health Counselor specializing in High Risk Mothers\, Multiples\, and Survivors of Sexual Trauma and DV. She is also the co-trainer for ASDS trainings. \nAncient Song Doula Services’ mission is to offer all women\, regardless of their socio-economic standing\, quality Doula Care and to empower young mothers to make healthy choices in their lives. Ancient Song is committed to the lowering of the Infant Mortality Rate by changing the way mothers view birthing\, advocating on behalf of all mothers\, and challenging the current healthcare system’s quality of care regardless of one’s socio-economic standing.\nWhat is a doula? \nThe word “doula” comes from the ancient Greek meaning “a woman who serves” and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical\, emotional and informational support to the mother before\, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. — DONA International\n  \nAbout CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Social Activism\nAs you may know\, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is a center for the teaching and practice of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). Many people see the Course as being solely about changing the mind rather than behavior\, about finding peace in one’s own mind by accepting external circumstances (as being unimportant\, indeed unreal) rather than trying to change them.

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

Refusing to see herself as a victim\, she chose instead to explore the roots of her dis-ease and discovered her true strength and beauty — and her father’s love. Eventually she was able to transform her experience into a fearless\, funny and intimate one-woman show\, BALDY\, which she has shown in NYC and Hollywood and will next year share at CRS. \nYokko (performer & writer) is an actor & a movement artist from Japan\, came to the United States to study theatre in Oregon and Albany. She received her MFA in Acting from the Actors Studio Drama School in New York City. Her Credits include BALDY (Hollywood Fringe Festival2013\, Fringe NYC 2012)\, BUTOH Electra (Irondale Center & Fringe NYC 2011)\, The Woolgatherer\, The Producers (ASDS Repertory season)\, Odyssey (The Wings Theatre) and Othello (Looking Glass Theatre). Dance Credits include: FACET (Hollywood Fringe Festival 2013)\, Autumn Leaves (KGB Show\, Kraine Theatre)\, and many others. She is a member of The Ume Group\, and VOID Theatre Company in NYC. She is also founder of JPAC (Japanese Performing Arts Company)\, and has shared Japanese culture through classical Japanese dance and stage combat within drama. \nhttp://www.yokko-online.com \nAbout Baldy\nA courageous Japanese woman discovers her father’s love only after she loses her hair and skin. In this fearless\, funny and personal show\, Yokko brings to life nearly a dozen characters\, merging movement and memories into a narrative exploring kinship\, cultural expectations and personal identity and weaves the fantastic with the ordinary in her ongoing search for a singular voice.\nhttp://yokkobaldy.weebly.com\n \n \nDecember 2013146 – 10 pm

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

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

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

Make a donation online.\n \nPublic Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident\nby Bill Ayers\nPages: 240 \n \nIn this sequel to Fugitive Days\, Ayers charts his life after the Weather Underground\, when he becomes the GOP’s flaunted “domestic terrorist\,” a “public enemy.”  \nIn the heat of the 2008 presidential election\, Barack Obama’s opponents were spinning a chilling narrative that cast him as an enigmatic figure with a group of shadowy associates\, including a Black Nationalist preacher\, a Palestinian professor\, and an “unrepentant domestic terrorist.” That imagined terrorist was Bill Ayers\, a one-time leader of the Weather Underground. The McCain campaign spent millions of dollars demonizing Ayers specifically and castigating Senator Obama for\, in Sarah Palin’s deathless phrase\, “pallin’ around with terrorists.” \n \nThat wasn’t the first time Ayers found his face plastered all over the media under the label “terrorist.” After his memoir Fugitive Days\, the story of his life in Students for a Democratic Society and later the Weather Underground\, was published on September 10\, 2001\, he came under furious fire from right-wing media\, which bizarrely tied him to the World Trade Center tragedy. Over the years\, at the hands of the radical Right\, Bill Ayers has become a household name and a public enemy. In reality\, Ayers is a dedicated teacher\, father\, and social justice advocate\, and his “shady past” is actually the story of an ardent antiwar activist. \n \nAyers was hosting his graduate students at his Hyde Park home during the 2008 presidential debate in which his neighbor Barack Obama was confronted about their association. Public Enemy begins there and then flashes back to tell Ayers’s story from the moment he and his wife\, Bernardine Dohrn\, emerged from years on the run and rebuilt their lives as public figures\, often celebrated for their community work but much hated by the radical Right. \nIn the face of defamation by conservative media\, and despite frequent death threats\, Bill and Bernardine stay true to their core beliefs in the power of protest\, dissent\, and deep commitment to the welfare of others. Ayers recounts his adventures with the Tea Party\, including memorable scenes of “confessing” under entertaining duress that he was indeed the author of Obama’s Dreams from My Father\, of hosting a dinner party for Fox News stars\, of being banned from college campuses and\, in one case\, from an entire country. He also takes us along to the red carpet at the Oscars\, to prison vigils and the Greek islands\, and ultimately back to his Hyde Park home\, where his activism and commitment to a life that refuses to make a mockery of his values allow him to make the most of his post as America’s leading public enemy.  \n  \nWhat is Direct Action?\nBy Mitchel Cohen\nView this Author’s Spotlight \nPaperback\, 596 Pages \nPreview \n \nHow to change the world. Longtime New Left activist and poet Mitchel Cohen\, co-founder of the Red Balloon Collective at SUNY Stony Brook in 1969\, the Brooklyn Greens\, and a participant in Occupy Wall Street\, offers unique and often humorous perspectives on radical movements since the 1960s while challenging the framework used by both anarchists and Marxists from within the Left. Foreword by Prof. Richard Wolff. Cover Art by Haideen Anderson.

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

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

With or without hair\, Baldy is a thing of wonder. — Rochelle Denton\, nytheaternow.com \nAbout Yokko\nYokko (performer & writer) is an actor & a movement artist from Japan\, came to the United States to study theatre in Oregon and Albany.

NCC.\n \nAn Interactive and Experiential Group\nTo Explore and Be in … \n＊ The Dynamics of the PCA (Rogerian Therapeutic Approach) \n＊ A Group Experience\n＊ A Group Process \n \nCarl Rogers believed that Person-Centered Approach is more concerned with the development and personal ownership of a set of values\, personal qualities and attitudes\, learned experiences gained through in-depth group process. The learning is in the being.\n \nHaving been a group facilitator and a group participant on many occasions\, I have come to appreciate and value the quality of learning and connection that often comes with being in a Person Centered group.  Learning often happens through spontaneity\, intellectual knowledge and the quality of personal presence – essential to developing the PCA practice with depth and integrity.  \n \n“From Separateness to Unity – each individual tends to use the opportunity to become all that he or she can become.  Separateness and diversity – the uniqueness of being ‘me’ are experienced. This very characteristic seems to raise the group level to a oneness of consciousness”.

SUMMARY:Human Trafficking Awareness Day Free Program — 1/11/14
DESCRIPTION:There are 29.8 million people living as slaves right now\, more than at any other time in history\, 60\,000 in the United States — Walk Free Foundation.\nCRS Community Films and Think Act Change NYC invite you to a panel discussion and two film screenings (one documentary\, one feature) exploring the exploding crisis of slavery right here in the United States. We’ll look at how it’s happening and why\, what government agencies are doing to prevent trafficking\, the obstacles that non-profit agencies face in helping to return the victims to free\, healthy lives\, and what we can do as individuals to help. \nAdmission is free. You are welcome to attend either or both screenings (seating is first come\, first serve)\, but either way we encourage you to participate in the discussion! \n4:30 – 6 pm\n			FLESH THE MOVIE (documentary)\, 2011\n			Kristin Ross Lauterbach\, writer/director/producer\n			USA | 90′ (English)\n6 – 7 pm\n			PANEL DISCUSSION​\n			Kenneth Ora Melie\, dir. of LOVE TRAFFIC\n			Richard Mowatt of Fight Slavery Now!\n			Shihomi Tonogawa\, NY Asian Women’s Center\n7 – 9 pm\n			LOVE TRAFFIC (feature)\, 2014\n			Kenneth Ora Melie\, writer/director/producer\n			USA | 120′ (English) \nHuman trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world\, tied with arms trafficking as the second largest criminal industry in the world\, after drug trafficking. Several million more individuals become victims of human trafficking each year. Of these\, 87% are trafficked for the explicit purpose of sexual exploitation. The majority are girls and women (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). — Coalition Against Trafficking in Women\nABOUT FLESH THE MOVIE\nSlavery. In the past. Human trafficking. Over there. FLESH a shocking documentary\, calls into question our definitions of slavery\, human trafficking\, and prostitution in the United States. This is a story told by girls who have escaped and by those still enslaved. It is told by former and current pimps. It is told by the abolitionists of today\, including numerous directors of non-profit organizations\, a former U.S. Ambassador\, LAPD vice and the L.A. City Task Force on Human Trafficking.  \nCameras capture prostitutes on the streets of Los Angeles and reveal the heartbreaking reality of “The Game”. Even more compelling are the stories of these former prostitutes\, who tell of the atrocious ways they were enslaved physically and psychologically. They tell their stories of being trafficked in the U.S. and the moving stories of how they escaped.  FLESH goes behind the scenes of the third largest criminal industry that preys upon girls\, whose average age of entry is twelve to fourteen. \n \nFLESH does not end with the presentation of trafficking in the U.S. – it delves into its causes. Why the demand for the supply of new flesh? Why must pimps rotate their prostitutes between cities and states? Why must new and younger girls be forced into the system? The interviews give voice to those in the business of prostitution and to those seeking to end it. Together they offer startling perspectives on what drives trafficking here in the U.S.\nWriter/Director/Producer Kristin Ross Lauterbach’s interest in social and human right issues has led her to promote awareness and provide relief for people who are suffering around the world. Kristin has also directed several short-length documentaries.  Of these\, “Emthonjeni: South Africa\,” a profile of a settlement outside of Johannesburg\, and “Help Haiti Heal\,” which shows the devastating effects of the 2008 flooding in Haiti\, have together raised well over half a million dollars in relief money for victims of poverty and natural disaster in those countries.\nProducer/Writer Christina Lee Storm is an international independent producer whose experience in both Asia and the U.S. has enabled her to collaborate with talented independent filmmakers from around the world. She is a Partner and Producer for Accelerated Entertainment.  Her most recent producing credits include The Least of These staring Isaiah Washington and To Save A Life distributed by Goldwyn Films.  Christina has a passion for making films with profound themes.  She is an alumnus of Act One: Writing for Hollywood program and serves on its Advisory Board for the Executive Program.  She is also a member of the Producers Guild of America and serves on the National Board of Directors.  \nhttp://www.fleshthemovie.org\nABOUT LOVE TRAFFIC\nThis fiction feature exposes the untold and often overlooked story of the African girls sold into slavery for sex and labor\, often under the spell of an herb doctor. “Love Traffic” trails the story of a trafficker and his associates trading African girls for financial gain to support his interest in love for the beautiful Iffy. A close brush with the law drives Tony to kidnap and traffic his lover’s sister.\nWriter/director/producer Kenneth Ora Melie was born in Onitsha\, Eastern Nigeria and holds a masters in information security and teaches IT at various institutions in the New York Area. He also holds a bachelors degree in film production from the University of Wisconsin and has worked in all capacities in film and video from LA to New York with major production houses as ABC\, HBO\, NHK\, MTV\, and Panavision to name a few.  Kenneth worked on several music videos in the 90s from Naughty by Nature\, Erick B and Rakim\, George Benson\, and some commercials. He has since worked in the explosive African film industry “Nollywood” and completed several short and full length films to his credit. Filmmaking is not only to exercise his passion but a necessity to expose the ills of our society.\nABOUT THINK ACT CHANGE NYC\nTHINK ACT CHANGE NYC is a meetup group for change-makers\, thinkers\, innovators\, entrepreneurs or anyone who is passionate about social innovation\, social enterprise or simply doing good. At our meetups we want to spark conversations about things that matter in an informal gathering of people who want to talk about real issues. We want to connect\, inform\, inspire\, and empower you to act on innovative ideas to implement real change.\nhttp://www.meetup.com/Think-Act-Change-NYC/\nABOUT CRS COMUNITY FILMS\nCRS COMMUNITY FILMS provides a forum for local and independent filmmakers to share and discuss their work and ideas.\nhttp://www.meetup.com/NYC-FILM-VIDEO-SHOW-TELL/\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. \nStop DemandCoalition Against Trafficking in WomenThink Act Change Web Site\nJanuary 2014114:30 – 9 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Photographs & Stories by Annie Ling — 1/11 – 1/31/14
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to present a selection of images and stories from photographer Annie Ling’s project AWHERENESS on human trafficking in Romania and Moldova. The exhibition has been arranged to coincide with a free Human Trafficking Awareness Day Program taking place on January 11\, 2014 at CRS from 4 – 9 pm featuring two film screenings and a panel discussion. The photographs will remain on view from Jan 11 – 31\, 2014.\nPlease take this opportunity and direct your attention to SocialDocumentary.net\, which highlights work by photographers around the world shedding light on the tragedy of trafficking.\nRomania and Moldova are beautiful countries with an ugly problem. Every year\, thousands of women\, men and children are trafficked outside and within the borders for sex and forced labor.\nIn many cases\, children and young adults turn to the streets to escape harsh conditions at overrun orphanages or domestic abuse at home. Those affected by trafficking are often exploited by the ones closest to them: a family member\, a partner\, a lover. Psychological manipulation\, coercion\, and physical violence form the basis for a majority of these stories.\nHuman trafficking is rooted in various systems of oppression. Hearing these stories\, it is impossible to understand and address human trafficking without addressing broader socio-economic realities\, gender inequality\, domestic violence\, corruption\, racism\, and poverty.\nAWHERENESS is a collaboration with trafficked survivors to trace their stories and expose the places that enable trafficking. Trafficking is pervasive\, making it hard to detect. It takes on many different forms\, often in the most mundane places: at home\, parks\, transportation hubs\, cafes\, and beyond.\nArtist Statement\nAWHERENESS the project grew out of conversations and focused research between close friend and collaborator Patricia Chabvepi\, a Romanian human rights activist and myself nearly two years ago.\nTrafficking in Romania has swelled since 1989\, with the end of communism. Upon joining the European Union in 2007\, Romania relaxed its border patrol measures\, making free flow of both goods and people easier across borders. However\, as the country’s economy is also improving\, internal trafficking is also gaining traction. The situation is even more critical in Moldova due to the rise of orphanages amidst a struggling economy and lack of employment opportunities in the country. Most people in Moldova want to live and work abroad\, which makes the trafficking of human beings a perversely easy endeavor. Moldova is the poorest nation of Europe\, with a large percentage of its children growing up in state institutions\, not necessarily because they are orphans\, but because their parents do not have the means to raise them.\nMy first exposure to the problem of human trafficking was through a number of awareness raising campaigns\, seminars\, reports and articles. Being from Romania\, Patricia had been aware for years of Romanian young women being tricked into prostitution abroad\, but only vaguely considered what this really meant and what exactly drove them to these jobs abroad as “waitresses” and “dancers.” During a volunteer opportunity with a New York-based organization that works with victims of domestic abuse\, Patricia confronted the reality that domestic abuse and trafficking often go hand in hand.\nHuman trafficking is a cunning beast that takes on various and evolving forms as result of underlying systems of oppression. Hearing these stories\, it is impossible to understand and address human trafficking without addressing the broader socio-economic realities\, gender inequality\, domestic violence\, racism\, and poverty.\nTrafficking today has a much more ambiguous and deceptive appearance\, thus making it harder to expose. What happens now is often done under the cover of legality\, with proper paperwork and even some portion of consent. This makes law enforcement particularly difficult\, as does corruption.\nTrafficking stories are personal. My hope is that these images would invite the viewer to contemplate more deeply the problem of human trafficking and to gain an “awhereness” of the context in which trafficking is born and bred through the personal stories of survivors.\n— Annie Ling\, http://annielingphoto.com @lingphoto\nAbout Annie Ling\nBorn in Taipei\, Annie is a Canadian artist and documentary photographer currently based in Brooklyn\, New York.\nSelect clients include The New York Times and The New York Times Magazine\, GEO Magazine (Germany)\, Courrier International (France)\, FADER Magazine\, and New York Magazine.\nHer photography has been featured in publications such as PDN Photo Annual\, American Photography 27\, Magenta Flash Forward: Emerging Photographers\, Monthly Photography\, and The Forward\, among others.\nHer work is exhibited and collected internationally. Most recently\, her work has been exhibited in Germany (Lumix Photo Festival)\, South Korea (Gwanju Biennale)\, Finland (NYPH Awards)\, Hungary (Budapest Photo Festival)\, Canada (Magenta Flash Forward)\, and throughout the USA in Maine\, Boston\, and currently in New York City (“A Floating Population” at MOCA).\nAnnie is currently a fellow of Reflexions Masterclass\, a laboratory investigating the evolution of the language of visual representation and photography.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Marvin's 3rd Eye Paintings — 2/8 – 3/4/14
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is delighted to announce the exhibition of a series of 3rd eye paintings by Marvin Rosenberg. Marvin appears to be peaceful and calm at all times\, and he conveys this experience of timeless peace through his paintings. An Opening Reception with the artist will be held Saturday\, Feb 8 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm.\nThe spareness of the compositions suggests that the distractions of the world of perception have been largely stripped away\, encouraging us to focus on our awareness of our own consciousness. His vivid use of color and the roundness of his subjects’ eyes communicate joy and wakeful presence\, allowing us to let go of our own thoughts and say yes to bliss. The paintings will remain on view from Feb 8 – March 4\, 2014\, and you can experience the peace of Marvin in person at his Gentle Yoga classes every Tuesday & Thursday from 5:30 – 6:30 pm at CRS.\nArtist Statement\n“I am trying to express something higher\,\nsome state of intuition\, some state of realization\,\nan atmosphere we can all enter\,\nof calmness\, of wideness.\nA place where we can experience the delight of being.”  \nAbout Marvin Rosenberg\nMarvin Rosenberg was born in New York City.  As a teenager he started to draw and paint. When he was 21\, he met a man who greatly influenced the course of his life\, named Sam Spanier. Sam was a successful artist who started an ashram based upon the teachings of the Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo. It was Sam who introduced Marvin to Yoga and Meditation and encouraged him to continue painting and pursue all the aspects of his being. He studied Modern Dance and choreography\, performing and presenting his own work in NYC. He studied Hatha Yoga and was asked to teach a basic yoga class\, which became known as Gentle Yoga. He has been teaching gentle yoga for the past 20 years and currently teaches this class at CRS every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 – 6:30 pm.\nLearn moreArtist BlogArtist Web Site\nthrough Mar 20144Daily
