​
My goal is to inspire you to move. To Dance …
Sharing my exuberance for tango, teaching YOU how to go about learning the “language” of tango– finding your personal style, your own expression– not simply to imitate… how to find connection while embracing the sensuality, fluidity & fun in Argentine tango.
Never danced before? Well it’s not too late, Jean is your guide, opening the door for you, showing you the joy in learning, feeling confident and dancing.
Begin now your ever-expanding tango-journey!
Once a research scientist, now “converted” to work with movement, tango and wellness and healing, via teaching Argentine Tango & Feldenkrais® Awareness through Movement® and also a Certified Reiki Practitioner. Jean began partner dancing over 25 years ago to recover from injuries, and once she “happened on” the tango, she’s found her home and has been tangoing for over 20 years. As one of the tango “pioneers” in the USA, she can claim much credit for creating the tango community in the greater Philadelphia area. In her pioneer work she brought in a virtual who’s who of performers and master teachers of tango to the area. She gratefully acknowledges the inspiration and training received from the following luminaries (and now friends) of the tango world and among them are: Brigitte Winkler, Cacho Dante, Carlos Gavito, Daniela & Armando, Daniel Trenner, Eric Jorrisen, Eduardo Arquimbau, Ester, Mingo & Pablo Pugliese, Fabian Salas, Gullermina Quiroga, Gustavo Naviera, Juan Carlos Copes, Lorena Ermocida, Nito & Elba, Osvaldo Zotto, Pepito & Suziki, Rebecca Shulman, and Rudolfo Dinzel.
She has lectured on the history of the dance and tango music at Community College of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She has also taught tango in a variety of other settings, and is currently based in NYC affiliated with Dance Manhattan, perhaps the outstanding tango teaching institution in the US.
To deepen and expand your dance experience, Jean offers EFFORTLESS DANCEworkshops, where you explore and acquire increased movement possibilities and awareness through Feldenkrais Method®, while expanding your Argentine Tango repertoire, adding finesse to all your dancing.
A note for Baby Boomers: want to keep that youthful sense of vitality and in lively wellbeing? Jean is also a certified Change Your Age® teacher, we offer classes and workshops that will show you how to retain that youthful wellbeing. Shattering the belief that aging means debillitation, let past “middle-age” be your best years yet!

Practice Receiving Spiritual Guidance Using Principles of A Course in Miracles — Wednesdays in May
2016-01-14 13:39
For the next 4 weeks let’s practice receiving and sharing spiritual guidance from the voice of love inside our minds.
We’ll begin each session with a guided meditation to prepare our minds to connect with our inner guide. Then we’ll practice asking for and receiving guidance for ourselves and one another.
There is a suggested donation of $20, and class may run past 9 pm depending on the number of people attending and amount of discussion.
Our primary goal is to learn to recognize the voice of love’s guidance that is always available to us — but which we usually block out! Slowly, we will re-train our eyes to see the world around us as one that is always presenting opportunities for us to give and receive love.
Feel free to bring in specific issues that you would like to receive guidance about!
This class is appropriate for beginners and for advanced students. It’s kind of like going to gym — no matter your fitness level, practice is the key to growth.
Familiarity with the Course or experience with meditation or improvisation is not required. All that is required is a sense of curiosity and a willingness to explore and play!
Students of the Course will appreciate this class as a lab for developing our ability to dialog with the Holy Spirit (the Course’s name for the inner voice or guide who also speaks from the point of view of the thought system that recognizes that only love exists). That said, familiarity with the Course is not required. Believing in “God” or familiarity with the concept of an “inner voice” is not even required. All that is required is a sense of curiosity and a willingness to explore and play.
Instructor Christopher Pelham is the Director and a co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He balances his time between overseeing the growth and health of the CRS community, producing arts/cultural/educational events at the Center, and working as a CRS Healer and student and teacher of A Course in Miracles. He has previously also worked in educational publishing and as a web designer, writer/editor, actor (most notably for several seasons with Doris Duke Impact Award Winner Johnny Simons at the Hip Pocket Theatre in Ft. Worth, TX and with artists Richard Bach, Harold Lehmann, and Lake Simons in NYC), producer and videographer. He graduated from Duke University in 1991 with a degree in English. In addition to studying ACIM off and on with Yasuko Kasaki since 2003, he studied the Spiritual Psychology of Acting with London-based teacher John Osborne Hughes and Jay Johnstone-based Improvisation with the late Gloria Maddox.

…”I took Jean’s Feldenkrais class because I was feeling off kilter from the Winter we were having….the heavy boots, unable to articulate my feet in them, the weight on my knees, all the added layers and baggage, and the extra weight on my shoulders all had me feeling as though I needed to reconnect with my body alignment. Jean’s class allowed me to do just that. I did not realize just how much and where I was holding onto tension. And, if that were not enough already; the extra benefit was to be able to take that same mind/body connection and bring it to the dance floor and trust my skeletal structure to move more freely and efficiently”
P.S. Jean: Thanks for the revelation that so much awareness could come from such subtle movement !! You must have seen the smiles of recognition and discovery cross my face in class while I lay with my eyes closed as you guided me through this exploration and journey of my own bodily structure.

About Instructor Olga
I was diagnosed with arthritis in January 2008. I was 27 years old At that time and it was devastating for me as a young woman and a pianist to have that disease. Medication that my doctors prescribed made me feel even worse. On the edge of losing my hope of ever feeling energetic, young, powerful and vibrant again, I found something that turned my life around.
Qi Gong came into my life and I’ve been practicing it intensely since January 2009. Qi Gong is a gentle art of self-healing from China. It is a combination of gentle stretches, breathing, visualization and relaxation exercises. It might seem that this is not enough to conquer any disease, but I found that the more we relax, the more powerful self-healing is.
I practiced Qi Gong 4 -5 times a day one hour each time to help my arthritis and immune system. Three months later in April of 2009 I came to my doctor who told me that my arthritis was in remission. I knew it was because of the special healing art of Qi Gong. I also felt that I was healing on many levels of my life: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Exhibition: Voice of Nature — Paintings by Keiko Takeko – Opening 6/6/15
2016-01-14 13:39
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Voice of Nature,” an exhibition of paintings by Keiko Takeko.
Through her works, she wants to express the beauty, strength, diversity and modesty of nature, sometimes incorporating words which she “hears” from nature. She feels that living with nature teaches us to accept changes and reminds us that important things will come to us naturally.
An Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. ​ At 7 pm the artist will perform two pantomime pieces inspired by Ka-Cho-Fu-Getsu. Ka-Cho-Fu-Getsu are the traditional themes of natural beauty in Japanese aesthetics. “Ka” means flower, “Cho” means bird, “Fu” means wind and “Getsu” means moon.
The exhibition will remain on display through the end of June.
About the Artist
Keiko Takeko came to the United States in 1997 and to study art at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. After graduation in 2000, she returned to Japan and worked at Ukiyo-e gallery. While working, she kept learning art, especially abstract painting, at Musashino Art University (correspondence education).
Her first exhibition was a group exhibition in 2012, “Christmas Art Gift exhibition” (art lab noct, Tokyo) and the second was a joint exhibition with her friend in 2013, “Exhibition in May” (Sendagi-Kukan, Tokyo).
She also began to learn pantomime under a popular pantomimer, Sugapon (Mr. Reina Suga), once a week from 2011. She currently performs once a month as part of the class performance series called “Washitsu no kai.”
Artist Statement
We live with nature which changes every day and every moment. New green leaves in spring make me happy and blowing wind makes me refresh. On heavy rainy days with thunder, I feel fear and realize how little my existence is. My heart is moved when I meet a beautiful moment of nature, and one of my motives to make nature work is to express those moments. I imagine the scene and choose the paper color which suits it. I draw, paint and collage with various media such as pastel, acrylic, cellophane, autumn leaves etc. and finish when I feel that the image become the moment. Making several works with the same size is an influence of Ukiyo-e formats such as Diptych and Triptych. I make each panel separately. So I cannot imagine what will happen finally, when it comes all together. This unpredictable part interests me a lot.
Morning comes, night comes. There is a clear day and a rainy day. The season changes and repeats. I think that this cycle of nature is similar to the cycle of the human heart, feelings and life. However, nature never complains. They are just there and accept the changes. Besides, they surprise and please us with various expressions. The essence of the nature is warm and positive. I am glad if you would feel essence of such nature through my work.
About pantomime
It is important for a pantomimer to become the thing itself that he wants to express. For example, if you want to express a flower, you need to become a flower. This is one of the reasons that I like mime. This idea makes me more familiar with nature and makes me think of it more directly.
Additionally, doing mime gives me the idea of using my body as my art motif.

EXPERIENCE YOUR PAST LIFE
Free Session with Qesankh Maa Kheperu
Tuesday, June 30th 6:30 PM
Many of us wonder if reincarnation is real. It seems sensible to doubt but at the same time many of us have vivid or subtle memories of their past lives. Modern physics tells us that energy is neither created nor destroyed- it simply changes form. With this understanding we know that our soul or spirit lives on and is immortal.
n this one-on-one session with Master Teacher Qesankh Kheperu will reveal to you who you were in a past life and what experiences you encountered. Were you rich, poor, male, or female? Did you die at the hands of another, through disease or did you live to be a ripe old age? Qesankh will also tie your past life with the present by revealing what lessons you need to learn and what issues you might encounter in this life-time that may be a continuation of your past life- or practice for a future one!

Exhibition: Whispering Lights — Art by Erika Mizukami – Opening 7/11/15
2016-01-14 13:39
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Whispering Lights,” an exhibition of art work by Erika Mizukami.
Finding inspiration in light, she began making art on her own and is self-taught. So far, she has made more than 100 works in this way. We selected about 10 works from all, and will show them at CRS. The works represented here are colorful oil pastels in complex patterns, created by scratching, reminiscent of mandalas. Their purpose is to invite unity and harmony into the mind and also a sense of playfulness.
An Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, July 11, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. ​ Pianist Maurizio Najt will perform
The exhibition will remain on display through August 17, 2015.
About the Artist
Born in New York and raised in Tokyo, Erika Mizukami has been drawing since 2010.
After experiencing self-hypnosis and guided meditation several years ago, Erika started experiencing beautiful visions every night as she was lying down. Images were like the ones in a kaleidoscope, vast, spacious, unlimited, smooth, a continuation of simple motifs within a slow movement. She was fully aware of her surroundings, never tired from sleepless nights, leaving her with a clear mind and emotional detachment.
Fully connected with the presence of Love, Freedom, and Stillness, Erika explored the idea of capturing these images and wanted to share with others not only the images but the senses of healing she had in the experience. Drawing them on a sketchbook with a pencil was not an accurate way of sharing them.
A year after, she met a Mandala artist who recommended to her a book on how to draw a mandala. The instructions of drawing were so complicated for Erika, so she placed the mandala interactions away and started playing with a compass to draw one simple circle in many ways. She loved it! However it was not quite yet able to reflect her visions.
During the same year Erika took a course on Metaphysical Science. She had an assignment of expressing emotions in art. She picked oil pastels to do the project. It struck her! Since then she uses oil pastels and compass to draw the images. “When I scratched off the line, the color appears underneath of black coated paper. It’s like the light appears in the dark.”
Even though her artwork does not exactly mirror the images she sees in her mind, “What I have experienced with drawing these particular artworks is far beyond my imagination. I just took inspired action every each moment to create shape and even choosing color.”
These artworks are teaching and guiding Erika in so many different aspects of understanding meaning in life and leading her to the original pure essence. When she completes a piece, she looks at it with completely detachment, neither like nor dislike, leaving her for a couple of days with an empty mind, no sense of judgment but deep love and joy!
Relationship with all my creation is just being a witness of a process of unfolding flowers. When you see beauty in nature you go speechless, with no words to express, a kind of shock, all thoughts and emotions become powerless and fade a way and I replace them with total acceptance, being fully connected with something beyond my five senses
Realizing that her art invites the viewers to the experience of reuniting with the universe as a whole, Erika has been creating her artworks for people across any boundaries.
“Creativity enriches my life. I love to inspire people and let them know how life is enjoyable just by taking a little time with the creativity we are all born with!”
Artist Statement
The process of creating my work is one of returning myself back to the original nothingness. Choosing motifs, colors, and patters for each little step of drawing in a long, simple repetition is made possible when I perceive a subtle and quiet inspiration coming from within. In drawing, I let self-talk bubble up to consciousness from the innermost realm within, and gently liberate each of them into the light.
Once the work is finished, I realize that I have been experiencing the authentic nothingness. Which means no words, no critiques, no voices, and no emotions emerge from my work toward me when seeing it for a couple of days after the completion. It seems as if a physical relationship between “me” the creator and my work the created, which had been supporting the process of my creation, reveals its real nature: the original nothingness.
After the experience of nothingness, my consciousness gradually returns to the world of words and emotions where my work visually expresses its beauty.
Every time I finish my work, I deeply feel that my creative process strengthens the mutual trust between my Self and what’s beyond my Self, namely divinity. Not only my finished work but every little piece of the work, every event I went through in the process of creating it, every color, and every figure outside the work now tell me the truth of the universe in a totally different way. The entire universe, including my work and myself, plays a role as catalyst to enrich the bond, or a mutual trust, between me and what leads me to create my works. This bond, the trust, is an experience of oneness between my singularity and the entire universe. My works are a series of invitations to this oneness.
