SUMMARY:I Am Beauty Weekend Workshop
DESCRIPTION:How much of the beauty of you\, have you been refusing to see because you’ve bought this reality’s barometer for what is to be considered beautiful? \nSarah Grandinetti and Cassy Summers invite you to look at outer beauty in a way that has never been done before. Together we will explore this topic and expose\, then clear out\, judgments we have around physical beauty and everything connected to it. This taster has some really fun yet dynamic exercises that we will play with as well as a beautiful mini manual to take home! \n2 DAY CLASS: June 1st & 2nd from 10 am – 5:30 pm\nhttp://bit.ly/IAmBeautyNYC \nOver the course of two days\, Sarah Grandinetti and Cassy Summers will go deeper into looking at outer beauty. There will also be exercises and discussions that will expose and clear out even more hidden judgement. When people hold judgements of our outer beauty in place we create them as solid\, they become a barrier upon ourselves that their inner beauty has to fight in order to be seen. This is stopping us from creating the life we actually desire. The class includes a journal and an audio recording of the class. \nAre you ready to unlock what you know about beauty? JOIN US!

SUMMARY:Japan ♥️ Korea Songs for Peace Concert
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) in association with Mar Creation and Noontan Music invite you to Japan ♥️ Korea Songs for Peace\, an evening of mostly acoustic music by the always warm and engaging Rino (vocals and sanshin\, Japan)\, Lucite Tokki (synth-pop duo\, Korea)\, and Asuca Hayashi (J-pop and R&B star\, Japan\, with a big voice like Celine Dion) backed by keyboard wizard Romi Abe of Sony Records. \nThe concert will take place on Friday\, June 7\, 2019 at 7:30 pm at CRS. Tickets are $20 and are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. \nBorn and raised in Osaka\, Japan\, Asuca Hayashi became a performer after her piano teacher sent a tape of her singing to a music producer. Impressed with Hayashi’s talent\, a representative of Toshiba EMI’s Southeast Asia Division released her debut single “ake-kaze” when she was just 13 years old. Her debut album\, called “Saku” (咲)\, was released on the same day in Japan\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong and Mainland China. She has gained fans throughout Japan\, Hong Kong\, Taiwan\, and the United States. Her hit song\, titled “Chiisaki Mono” or “Make a Wish” (English Version)\, was used in the sixth Pokémon movie\, “ Wishmaker” (Japanese: Nanayo no Negai Boshi; literally “Wishing Star of Seven Nights”). In June 2012\, she made her acting debut in “Hakurai Joto. Doudekka\,” a stage play created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Yoshimoto Kogyo\, one of Japan’s most popular entertainment productions. In March 2013\, she appeared in another play titled\, “Korekara mo Yoroshiku\,” also produced by Yoshimoto Kogyo. In July 2017\, she recorded and released a new single\, “Pokemon ni Kimeta!\,” the ending theme for the latest Pokemon movie. Asuca’s other notable songs include “Hitotsubu no Tane Love the Earth”\, “Snowdrop”\, “Jibun Shinjite” and “Mou Ichido Anata ni Aitai.” Hayashi has since recorded in both Japanese and Chinese\, collaborating with Chinese instrumentalist Chen Min on the single\, “Tsubane ni Naritai.” \nLucite Tokki is a New York-based alt-pop duo formed in Seoul 2005. Over a decade later\, they have released four full albums and six EPs growing their audience worldwide. Their cheerful melodies\, smooth synth-based textures\, and warm vocals are the perfect pick-me-up for a rainy day. In this show\, they’ll treat us to a rare acoustic performance! https://lucite-tokki.org \nRino (vocals and sanshin) is a performer of drama and music\, particularly for peace. She learned drama at the United Performer’s Studio\, led by Yoko Narahashi\, and studied traditional folk songs from Ryushu Kubota of Japan Folk Song Association. \nBelow\, see Asuca singing her hit song “Make a Wish” with our miracle child\, Amara-chan\, daughter of our Sufi Dance Instructor Lale Sayoko\, with accompaniment by CRS Healer Takako Hatanaka:

She studied opera with acclaimed teachers Lorraine Nubar and Zehava Gal and composition with Rob Mathes and Behzad Ranjbaran. With a particular interest in French art songs\, Kristin spent a summer honing the craft at Académie Internationale d’été de Nice. In addition to stints at major record labels\, Capitol and Interscope Records\, and song placements on hit TV shows like Dawson’s Creek and Palmetto Pointe\, she has shared stages with The Wallflowers\, Feist\, Brandi Carlile\, Richie Havens and many other musical luminaries. With a strong sense of artistic altruism\, she is most passionate about projects that explore music’s healing power and allow listeners to tap into their higher potentials. \nHaving studied with French Sound Healing pioneer Fabian Maman\, Hoffmann not only made music to accompany acupuncture sessions but also composed 170 songs for health-challenged children as a writer/producer at non-profit organization Songs of Love. A spokesperson for ocean conservation\, she has performed her Song for the Ocean at environmental awareness conventions and concerts around the world\, including TEDxSF\, Bioneers\, Hermanus Whale Festival (South Africa) and with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London. Song for the Ocean will next be performed at The Sydney Opera House in August 2016. In 2011 she became the singer for Bella Gaia\, a multimedia immersive theater experience created in conjunction with NASA. Over the past 2 years she has continued to expand her worldly voice\, guest blogging for many well-respected magazines\, from Elephant Journal to The Ecologist\, and performing at The Conscious Life Expo (LA)\, the signing of The Fuji Declaration (Mt. Fuji) and The Emoto Peace Project concert in Tokyo. In 2014\, Kristin was invited to become the youngest member on the board of FIONS (Friends of Institute of Noetic Sciences). In early 2016\, she was voted onto the board of Gandhi Global Center for Peace and was also a new inductee into the acclaimed group Evolutionary Leaders. Her most recent work includes a self-produced album entitled The Human Compass\, a symphonic collaboration with composer Marco Missinato called Unfolding Secrets: A Symphony of the Heart\, and the brand new release of the meditational film\, “Amazing Space\,” for which Kristin composed and produced the soundtrack. In October 2015\, Kristin began a new monthly musical blog with Gandhi’s BE Magazine\, called “BE~Cause: Music with a Message\,” and has been creating a new song every month focused around important worldly issues and themes. kristinhoffmann.com \nABOUT SUFI DANCE ARTIST LALE SAYOKO \nSayoko was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, and with New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani\, and in April 2018 Gorgani awarded her the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO\, granting her authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi dance training.

SUMMARY:CRS Summer Solstice Healing Circle:  Meditation + Whirling Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, June 20\, 2019 at 7:15 pm for our monthly Healing Circle + Whirling (Sufi Dance) Prayer led by CRS co-founders Yasuko Kasaki and Christopher Pelham and Sufi Dance Artist Lále Sayoko. We gather to let go of our small selves and remember our divinity within. \nBring in any issue — relationship trauma\, #metoo\, disease\, money issue\, depression — and surrender it to Spirit. Remember who you are. Receive new guidance. Experience love’s presence in a safe and supportive community. Heal yourself and others. We will enjoy herbal tea and a snack at the end — social time! \nPlease feel free to bring your frame drum\, rattle\, flute\, whistle\, chimes\, singing bowl\, or other instrument. You don’t need to be experienced. Together\, we will learn to listen to one another\, play together\, and express ourselves and find Oneness of intention. \nPlease do not eat for two hours before the start to reduce your chance of feeling sick during the whirling\, and wear only solid colors as patterns can distract the eyes of those who are whirling. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 at the door. Direct registration link:\nhttps://www.crsny.org \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nSufi Dance Instructor Lále Sayoko was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show.

SUMMARY:Whirling (Sufi Dance) Practice with Live Music
DESCRIPTION:Welcome all sufis and whirlers! CRS and Sufi Dance Artist Lale Sayoko invite you to join us for an hour of meditative whirling known as Sufi dance or Sema (Sama in Iranian). This is not a class (i.e. there is no instruction) but an open space where we can come together to practice and is open to people of all backgrounds who whirl and follow the path of oneness. This month frame drummer Ellen Shapiro will play for us! \nPrevious whirling experience is required. You should already know the basics of how to whirl. If you have not already learned whirling from a Sufi teacher — for example\, from one of our teachers\, Rana Gorgani\, Lale Sayoko\, or Paola Garcia\, or at one of our whirling events\, or from a Sufi lodge or community — please first attend our Sufi Dance Class with Lale Sayoko\, which takes places the first Thursday of each month from 7:30 – 9 pm at CRS\, to learn the basics. Sayoko is also available for private instruction weekdays and weekends by appointment. \nPlease remember that whirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Avoid eating a large meal for two hours prior to class. Over time\, through whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control\, allowing us to whirl for longer periods. You do not have to whirl for the entire hour\, but you are encouraged to explore whether your perceived limits are immutable or only self-imposed. \nWe empty our minds of all thoughts of the individual self as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn. Into this emptiness floods a divine fullness\, which sometimes gives rise to a state known as “mystical intoxication\,” a reflection of knowing and experiencing that you and I and the Divine are One. Together we can take courage and inspiration from one another and strengthen our practice. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing (white\, gray or black color is preferable\, avoiding prints and shiny material which might distract the eye while whirling) and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you have a whirling skirt\, please feel free to bring it. \n$20 with advance registration\, $25 at the door \nAbout Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko \nSayoko was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, and with New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show.

SUMMARY:Crossing Boundaries Concert 6: Sufi Music\, Dance & Poetry
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents CROSSING BOUNDARIES Concert Series Vol. 6:  SUFI MUSIC\, DANCE & POETRY\, curated by Lâle Sayoko\, with live music by Tomchess (ney\, USA) and Kamyar Arsani (daf and vocals\, Iran) and whirling (Sufi dance) by members of the CRS Sufi dance community. \nWe invite you into our circle to commune with the divine through the ecstatic music\, dance\, and poetry of Sufism\, a pathway to union with God made famous by Islamic mystics such as Rumi. Sufis say that sound originates in the soul and that the soul\, before its incarnation\, is sound. Sufis say also that God speaks to us through music and reminds us who we are. \n\nListen to the reed and the tale it tells\,\nhow it sings of separation …\nWhoever has been parted from his source\nlongs to return to that state of union.\n—Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī\, The Song of the Reed\, Chapter 1; trans. Kabir Helminski \n\nThis is the third of eight concerts in the series during 2019 and will take place on June 28\, 2019 at 8:15 pm at CRS. Light refreshment will be served afterward. \nTickets are $25 in advance $30 at the door. Students and seniors can purchase tickets for $20. Tickets are available online at crsny.org\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nThe music draws from the Mevlevi Whirling Dervish music of Anatolia and Istanbul\, which in turn was influenced by Byzantine and Near Eastern musics in general. The Mevlevi Whirling Dervishes originated with Jalaludin Rumi\, and the original two instruments played were Daf and Ney. It’s an ecstatic music characterized by deep rhythms\, soulful melodies and soaring solos designed to function as a support for whirling\, a vehicle to bring one closer to experiencing the divine which surrounds us at every moment\, yet is not recognized or experienced because of mundane focus and distraction. \nThe whirling dance meditation of the Sufis is known as Sema or Sama and actually means “divine listening.” It is the mystical approach of practicing “listening” in order to achieve remembrance (Dhikr) of the divine spark in our heart of hearts. We empty our minds of all thoughts of the individual self as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn. Into this emptiness floods a divine fullness\, which sometimes gives rise to a state known as “mystical intoxication\,” a reflection of knowing and experiencing that you and I and the Divine are One. Together we can take courage and inspiration from one another and strengthen our practice. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS IN THIS PROGRAM \nKamyar Arsani (daf) is a multi-instrumentalist\, singer and songwriter born and raised in Tehran\, Iran. Kamyar’s musical mission is to spread cultural awareness and unity by mixing contemporary musical trends with traditional Persian folk music. A multi-instrumentalist Sufi poet\, from age 7 he studied Daf (Iranian frame drum) with Master Bijan Kamkar. After mastering the Daf\, Kamyar learned Kamancheh (Iranian bowed string instrument) with Master Ardeshir Kamkar and Sohrab Pournazeri. In the midst of the Green Revolution in 2009\, Kamyar and his family left Iran and now reside in Washington\, DC.  Kamyar’s songs and performances are very much inspired by the people of Iran and their history of struggle and protest. He produced his first solo album in 2015\, entitled “No Freedom.” Kamyar also plays in two other collaborations: “Huda & Kamyar\,” a Daf and Oud Duo\, and “Time is Fire\,” a weird world/post-punk band. Kamyar recently collaborated with Benjamin Schurr and DC’s BLIGHTRECORDS and produced an electronics-backed Daf album called “Voices in the Dark.” In the words of a reviewer: ”this isn’t so much music as it is downright spiritual. It is a movement.”\nhttps://music.blightrecords.org/album/voices-in-the-dark\nhttps://kamyararsani.bandcamp.com/releases \n\nTomchess (oud\, ney\, morsing) is a New York City–based multi-instrumentalist\, improviser\, and composer who has played and recorded with some of the most esteemed players in the improvisational scene (Dewey Redman\, Butch Morris\, Pharoah Sanders\, Drew Gress\, Ronald Shannon Jackson) as well as Moroccan sintarist Hassan Hakmoun.

SUMMARY:Course-Based Healing for Anxiety and Depression
DESCRIPTION:A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is a radical pathway of healing through the practice of love and forgiveness. \nIn this workshop with bestselling authors Corinne Zupko and Emily Bennington\, you will gain insights and tools inspired by ACIM to work with the painful feelings of anxiety and depression that plague so many of us today. \nA Course in Miracles teaches that underneath the surface causes of these emotions\, our depression ultimately stems from feeling deprived of God and our anxiety is really “separation anxiety” — feeling cut off from the safety of our loving Parent. \nIf you regularly experience the emotional pain of anxiety and / or depression\, don’t miss this opportunity to discover a spiritual approach to transcend your suffering and find true healing and happiness. \nMeet Your Workshop Hosts \nCorinne Zupko was diagnosed with her first anxiety disorder at a very young age and struggled with debilitating anxiety for nearly three decades. She found true healing through A Course in Miracles and now helps others to discover peace within themselves through her podcasts\, writings\, and her book\, From Anxiety To Love.\nhttps://fromanxietytolove.com/ \nEmily Bennington is Executive Director of the Circle of Atonement. Prior to joining the Circle\, Emily led training programs on spiritual intelligence and mindful leadership for numerous Fortune 500 companies. She is also the author of three books\, including Miracles at Work\, which features a foreword by her friend Marianne Williamson.\nhttps://circleofa.org

SUMMARY:Miracles in Manhattan with Dr. Jon Mundy & Dr. Rod Chelberg:  A Physician's Experience of Mystical Guidance
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents Miracles in Manhattan\, lectures on the teachings of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) and related texts and topics by Jon Mundy\, Ph.D. and occasional guest lecturers\, hosted by CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki. \nJuly’s topic is the new book by Dr. Rod Chelberg\, When God Calls\, Say Yes! \nIn my memoir WHEN GOD CALLS\, SAY “YES!” I share my first childhood memories of mystical events. Later in life\, once I was in medical school\, these mystical events became more frequent. I started to see and hear Christ in the ER where I worked as a physician\, and there He guided me to help save many people’s lives. When I later became a hospice director\, Christ helped me care for patients and then guided them home to heaven. In the book\, I discuss the unreality of death and dying in detail\, citing multiple patient cases. Meeting God is another major topic of the book. I share what it is like to be held by God and look into His eyes and feel His Love for me. Eventually I realized that God and I are one. In time\, I was asked to join Jesus and others to bless the world. Finally\, in closing\, I have given suggestions about what worked for me in the process I call Awakening. In this small book\, I have included several poems\, letters to friends\, and examples of Christ talking with me. What I learned is that Christ’s help is readily available to everyone whenever we ask for it. But the main point that I am making in this book is how much God Loves us and is waiting for us to wake up! Be at peace… Love\, Rod \n~ $25 per person with advanced purchase online\, by phone (212-677-8621) or at CRS until the day before the lecture~\n~ $30 per person at the door ~\nAs long as space is available\, “No one is ever turned away who cannot pay.” Contribute what you can. \nThe lectures are held on the 2nd Sunday of the month (but 1st Sunday in May and 3rd Sunday in October 2019). \nAlthough we would\, of course\, prefer to share with you in class\, Miracles in Manhattan classes are now also being offered via life-streaming (technology allowing) for those who cannot attend the class in-person. The day of the class\, go to our YouTube Channel:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxH3nWSMFDGA1SiR9kAbeg\nand choose the live-streaming button.

He met Dr. Helen Schucman\, the scribe for A Course in Miracles\, in 1973. Helen introduced Jon to the Course and served as his mentor and guide till she became ill in 1980. He is the author of Living A Course in Miracles\, which is now available in eight languages. After Return to Love by Marianne Williamson\, it is currently the best-selling book based on the teaching of A Course in Miracles. He taught courses in Philosophy and Religion from 1967 to 2008 at the New School University and the State University of New York with a specialization in The History of Mysticism.

SUMMARY:CRS Healing Circle:  Meditation + Whirling Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thur\, 7/18 @ 7:15 pm for our monthly Healing Circle + Whirling (Sufi Dance) Prayer! \nLed by Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko and CRS co-founder Christopher Pelham\, we create a safe space in which to let go of our small selves and recognize the divinity in one another and within ourselves. When we do so\, we can trust ourselves to fully experience our feelings with the awareness that they cannot hurt us\, or overwhelm us\, or change us at all\, because we are still as Love created us. \nAfter we’ll enjoy social time with tea and snacks. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 at the door. Direct registration link:\nhttps://bit.ly/2Lcbtws \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nSufi Dance Instructor Lâle Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance. As CRS resident Sufi Dance instructor\, choreographer\, performing artist\, and musical curator\, she loves to welcome people into this holy practice to explore and share their own divinity.

SUMMARY:Whirling (Sufi Dance) Practice with Live Music
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join our Sufi Dance community for an hour of meditative whirling known as Samâ (spiritual listening)\, hosted by Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko with live music by Iranian daf player Kamyar Arsani. Together\, we create a sacred space for you to free your mind\, transcend your limits\, and share your light. By receiving the divinely inspired vibration of the music and developing our control of the body while surrendering the mind’s worries\, let’s share the ecstasy that arises with repeated whirling. \nThis is not a class (i.e. there is no instruction) but an open space where we can come together to practice and is open to people of all backgrounds who whirl and follow the path of oneness. You should already know the basics of how to whirl. If you have not already learned whirling from a Sufi teacher — for example\, from our teachers Rana Gorgani\, Lâle Sayoko\, or Paola Garcia or from a Sufi lodge or community — please first attend one of our Sufi Dance classes with Lâle Sayoko\, which takes places the first Thursday of each month from 7:30 – 9 pm at CRS\, to learn the basics. Sayoko is also available for private instruction weekdays and weekends by appointment. \nPlease remember that whirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Avoid eating a large meal for two hours prior to class. Over time\, through whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control\, allowing us to whirl for longer periods. You do not have to whirl for the entire hour\, but you are encouraged to explore whether your perceived limits are immutable or only self-imposed. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing (white\, gray or black color is preferable\, avoiding prints and shiny material which might distract the eye while whirling) safe for dancing in (for women your tops should have straps or cover your shoulders) and wear socks or soft soled shoes. If you have a whirling skirt\, please feel free to bring it. \n$20 with advance registration\, $25 at the door \nAbout Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko \nLâle Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance.

SUMMARY:Persian Daf (Sufi drum) class
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends\, we are excited to have Kamyar Arsani‘s Persian daf lessons at CRS on a monthly or near monthly basis! This is a wonderful opportunity to learn to play a magical instrument from a master who learned from masters in Iran. Kamyar has been playing and singing for decades and recently for our Sufi Dance events at CRS when he is in town and taking us ever deeper into the heart. \nDaf is a big frame drum with lots of rings inside that you can shake when you play for added effect. It is an integral part of Sufi and Persian music because of the variety of sounds it can produce and its ability to induce trance. \nLet’s learn the basic techniques together so we can play for one another at our Sufi events including our next public Sufi night in September! \n10:30 am – 11:45 am Beginner lesson\n11:45 am – 1 pm Intermediate lesson\n1 lesson $50\nboth lessons $70 \nBring your own Daf or frame drum\, a pen & a 3–line or 5–line blank musical staff notebook (or paper\, which you can find templates of online to print). \nSome Extra Dafs are available to rent ($5) for the class\, but you must RSVP because they are limited and you will want to get your own so you can practice! \nWhile many different dafs are available for purchase online\, one such as this one\, which has a synthetic head\, is reasonably priced at $119\, has good tone and construction\, is not too heavy\, and can be delivered in a few days by DHL\, would be a great choice for learning on:\nhttps://salamuzik.com/products/professional-daf-rad-404 \nAbout Instructor Kamyar Arsani \n“Kamyar Arsani is a multi-instrumentalist\, singer and songwriter born and raised in Tehran\, Iran. With his focus on Daf (Persian frame drum)\, through years he expanded circle of his instruments to Drums\, Percussions\, Guitar\, Ukulele and Melodica. He currently resides in Washington D.C\, teaching and performing around DMV area and working with individuals with Autism. \nKamyar began Daf lessons with Master Bijan Kamkar. Kamyar has spent over a decade performing and researching the Daf and its roots. His second choice of instrument was the kamancheh (Persian string bow instrument) and he studied it with Masters Ardeshir Kamkar and Sohrab Pournazeri. Ten years ago\, Kamyar and his family migrated to the United States around the same time that Iran’s Green Revolution was occurring. Kamyar’s songs and performances are very much inspired by the people of Iran and their history of struggle and protest. \n\n\n\nAt the time he started working as Autism classroom Teacher Assistant in Virginia and Washington DC public schools\, and the science of Behaviorism and creating motivation for students with Autism became his passion. But he did not put music behind\, Kamyar produced his first solo album in 2015\, entitled “No Freedom.” It was written on Guitar and Ukulele. The album was dedicated to those oppressed by Iranian Government. \nhttps://kamyararsani.bandcamp.com/releases \nAside from his solo work\, Kamyar also plays in other collaborations and has performed series of concerts at Kennedy Center\, Library of Congress\, Georgetown University\, UMD\, WVU and VOA. \nKamyar is also the poet and singer of “Time is Fire (TiF).” Their music has been described by Washington Post as “Music from a country that does not exist.” \nhttps://youtu.be/2rn3u92MAR8 (Kennedy Center Performance) \nKamyar takes on a different character performing with Time is Fire\, wearing his sikke (a Sufi hat representing the “tombstone of Ego”) and singing poems of resistance and freedom in English and Farsi. Within the four member band’s worldly\, funky\, post-punky\, afro-infected music\, the sikke and poems make perfect sense. Their sound has been evolving since the group first came together in 2015. Washington City Paper: “Time Is Fire could have limitless places to go.” Time is Fire recently released an EP that can be found here:\nhttps://electriccowbellrecords.bandcamp.com/album/stories-untold \nWith the new wave of hatred portrayed among our nation\, Kamyar could not sit quiet and wrote four songs inspired by Rumi and Hafez and Ferdowsi poems on his Daf\,inviting people to believe in a new spring together. He collaborated with Benjamin Schurr of Blight Records and produced an electronic backed Daf album called “Voices in the Dark” \, which can be found on Blight Records Bandcamp (Production of DC\,2018)\nhttps://music.blightrecords.org/album/voices-in-the-dark \nFor more information you can contact Kamyar at:\nKamyararsani31@gmail.com\nInstagram: @kamyararsani\nFB: Kamyar Arsani

SUMMARY:The Voice of Nature: Meditation and Talk with Sacred Dance Artist Shizuno Nasu
DESCRIPTION:What do you think and for what do you pray? CRS invites you to meditate on these questions with Hawaii-based Spiritual Dance artist Shizuno Nasu. Both classically and traditionally trained\, Shizuno has for many years been creating\, performing\, and teaching her own unique form of dance all over the world. \nPlease bring paper and pen for taking notes. \nListen to the voice of life on earth according to the voice of one’s own heart while discovering your own dance to the rhythms of fire\, water\, air\, and earth. \nRelease the mind and body and shed beautiful vibrations.\nYou will be embraced by light and love.\nSlowly and quietly\,\nWhile looking at one’s own body\nAnd inward at one’s own mind\,\nLet’s let flow pure life energy. \n1:30 – 3 pm Meditation and Talk on Prayer Dance $30\n3:15 – 5:45  Prayer Dance / Earth Dance Workshop $70 \nShizuno Nasu was born in Osaka\, Japan and began her classical ballet training at the age of 3. She was chosen as an exchange student with the Bolshoi Ballet at the age of 7 and made her debut as a professional dancer at the age of 19. She has won high praise in Europe\, Asia\, and in U.S.A. Seeking a deeper understanding of dance\, she started exploring ancient Japanese mythological and traditional dances in search of an answer. Focusing on the foundational forms of traditional Japanese dances\, Shizuno undertook a multi-year pilgrimage\, performing throughout Japan\, deepening a sense of spirit and refining her skills on the art of Mai — a specific style of traditional Japanese dance that emphasizes repetitive body movements that are done elegantly and with beauty. \nIn 2002\, Shizuno moved to Volcano\, on the Island of Hawaiʻi\, from New York. Subsequently\, she has created a great number of staged performances that express her passion and inspiration with her unique Mai attuned to the rhythms of Mother Nature. Shizuno says\, “Spirit of Nature can be seen in the movement of wind\, the stark land of Pele\, and in the interweaving energies of opposites\, yin and yang… We must heal the earth with renewed spirit and awareness of the interconnections of all beings and elements.“ \nIn 2010\, she established her “Shizuno Nasu Mai Dance Studio” in Volcano\, as a base of her creation. She has set to work on a new dance method\, “Origin of Life\,” being inspired by the majestic nature of Hawaiʻi\, receiving “Moments of Precious Life” from the four elements: Fire\, Water\, Wind and Earth and refining her identity with her purity toward dance. Through dance\, she hopes to contribute to an international exchange that bridges Hawaii and Japan.

It paves the way for the future interpretation of time and space. It has produced communicative multi-art shows such as MY Room-Demian\, conceptional performance Butterfly II and a theatrical music piece\, Notes from underground. \nThe common theme for the artists of MAG is the artistic interpretation of contemporary philosophy. Through the works\, MAG (re-)discovers the aesthetic of the existential and the social fabric. \nDrastic changes in modern society that are unparalleled in terms of the magnitude and the speed sometimes cast the bleak shadow over the lives and the environment that surround them. The onus is on the artists to expose the conditions of contemporary life. \nThe Fly in Water-Interspace is an official invited work to the 20th anniversary of Hong-gah Museum\, Taipei. \nBo Choi is a fashion designer and artist. With a primary focus in fiber art and fashion design\, she envisions clothes as both rendering explicit their capacity to represent the self\, as well as building upon\, and breaking with\, past conventions in order to allow an endless refashioning of the self-disallowed by the limited vocabulary of much art and fashion today. She completed her MFA 2009 in Fiber at School of art in University of Washington\, Seattle\, WA. Her undergraduate studies were at University of California\, Davis\, in Fashion Design and Studio Art. Previously\, as a fashion designer\, she created a fashion line that explores and transgresses the typical ways the body contour interacts with clothing. Choi’s solo fashion show “Second Skin” was presented at Jacob Lawrence Gallery in University of Washington\, Seattle. In 2009\, she was a finalist at the InspirAsain Fashion Competition\, hosted by International Examiner where her wearable art line was presented at the Bell Harbor Conference Center. Internationally she has presented her designs at the Wearable Art Awards in Port Moody\, BC\, Canada\, 2009 and 2010 and had a residency at Kulturprojekte\, Berlin Germany in 2008 and Seoul\, South Korea in 2012. Currently\, she teaches fashion design at Indiana University.\nbch1.myportfolio.com/ \nHyo Jee Kang has been focusing on transformation between media and objects to create a new art form. She works with media artists and live electronic performers presenting improvisation and recomposed composition as well as her originals. Her activity as a composer\, performer\, creator and improviser has been featured throughout the world in Germany\, Spain\, Italy\, Korea\, Japan\, USA\, Israel\, and so on. Hyo Jee currently resides in New York City and serves as a faculty at Seoul National University. In May 2018\, she gave her solo performance with great success at Lincoln Center\, including the Conceptual Transformation Performance “Pyung Yang.” This August she was one of 12 artists from around the world selected to particpate in Seminar in Taipei\, a platform for in-depth exchange in both theoretical and practical fields\, at the 2018 Taipei Arts Festival X in Taiwan. Seminar in Taipei is an initiative of Pro Helvetia\, the Swiss Arts Council\, in partnership with the National Culture and Arts Foundation of Taiwan\, Korea Arts Management Service\, the National Arts Council of Singapore\, and the Arts and Theatre Institute of the Czech Republic\, realised in collaboration with the Taipei Arts Festival. Hyo Jee’s YouTube channel is youtube.com/hyojeekang. \nDamian Marhulets is a Germany based composer\, visual artist and producer. His musical education began at the age of 6\, when he was accepted to prestigious Minsk College of Music. It was not long until Damian began performing as an oboe soloist with some of the most renowned orchestras in the country and abroad. Still in his early childhood\, Damian became a prizewinner of major international music competitions. His music career took a new turn in 2000 when he relocated to Germany. Following his artistic inquisitiveness he soon immersed himself in underground experimental music scene. His musical education shifted from oboe performance to modern composition and electronic music\, that he studied first at the Music Academy Hannover and later in Cologne. \nAs an artist-in-residence Damian worked at such renowned venues as Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe\, ACROE Institute Grenoble\, IONIAN University Corfu and STEIM Amsterdam. He also has won a multitude of grants and stipends such as the composition-stipends by the cultural affair department of the Lower Saxony and the European Culture Program. \nRecent projects of Damian include large-scale stage performances\, in which he combines acoustic instruments with electronics and visuals. Recently he collaborated with such renowned musicians as David Krakauer\, Frank Bungarten\, Szymanowski String Quartet\, Marina Baranova and many others. Besides from writing concert music as well as music for theatre\, film and dance he toured all over Europe and USA\, having played his own music at many different music festivals and alternative DJ clubs. He has performed worldwide including Berliner Philharmonie • Beethovenfest Bonn • Music Triennial Cologne • BOZAR – Palais des Beaux-Arts Brussels • “Re:New” Digital Art Festival Copenhagen • Philharmonic Hall Essen • Berghain Club in Berlin • die Glocke – Bremen • KunstFestSpiele Hannover as well as many others. His multimedia works were presented at many different galleries and museums of modern art including Kestnergesellschaft • Sprengel Museum Hanover • ArtCenter Berlin • Diapason Sound Art Gallery in NYC • DAVID vzw Gallery in Ghent • Lortzing ART Gallery in Hanover and others. \nDrawn upon his long term fascination for radical fringes of music making\, Damian feels most comfortable when blurring lines between musical genres. Combining his concert music roots with sound-design skills and years-long experience as an electronic music producer\, he throws away conventional music clichés in order to develop original music language and explore new sonic landscapes. \nABOUT CROSSING BOUNDARIES \nNow in its second year\, CROSSING BOUNDARIES is a performance series devoted to creating unforgettable live art experiences that dissolve boundaries between performers and audiences\, traditional and new music\, and the local and the global\, bringing people together and promoting the awareness that we each possess a limitless creativity inside us.  \nCRS has from its inception in 2004 attracted many people from abroad\, and has become known for presenting healing\, arts\, and cultural programs from around the world and from Asia in particular. This season\, which is supported by a grant from the LMCC\, is curated by four outstanding artists of Asian descent:  gamin\, Jen Shyu\, JunYi Chow\, and Lâle Sayoko. There is a long tradition of interdisciplinarity in Asian arts\, where ritual practices have always involved elements of dance\, theatre\, improvised music\, and storytelling\, and this season will build on that tradition. \nThe 2019 season of CROSSING BOUNDARIES is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement\, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and administered by LMCC. LMCC empowers artists by providing them with networks\, resources\, and support\, to create vibrant\, sustainable communities in Manhattan and beyond. \n  \n

SUMMARY:CRS Healing Circle:  Meditation + Whirling Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thur\, 8/15 @ 7:15 pm for our monthly Healing Circle + Whirling (Sufi Dance) Prayer! \nLed by CRS co-founder Christopher Pelham (Lale Sayoko and Yasuko Kasaki will be in Japan this month)\, we create a safe space in which to let go of our small selves and recognize the divinity in one another and within ourselves. When we do so\, we can trust ourselves to fully experience our feelings with the awareness that they cannot hurt us\, or overwhelm us\, or change us at all\, because we are still as Love created us. \nAfter we’ll enjoy social time with tea and snacks. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 at the door. Direct registration link:\nhttps://bit.ly/2Lcbtws \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nSufi Dance Instructor Lale Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance. As CRS resident Sufi Dance instructor\, choreographer\, performing artist\, and musical curator\, she loves to welcome people into this holy practice to explore and share their own divinity. After a long professional dance career\, she retired to support her young daughter through a life-threatening medical crisis. Several years later she discovered that she could whirl as a form of prayer to support her daughter and began studying Sufi Dance with Paris-based Sufi Artist Rana Gorgani. In April 2018 Gorgani awarded her the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO\, granting her authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi Dance training. She currently teaches Sufi Dance classes at CRS every first Thursday of the month from 7 – 8:30 pm and leads the CRS Healing Circles + Whirling Prayer that take place every third Thursday of the month from 7:15 – 9 pm.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/lale.sayoko \nChristopher Pelham is a spiritual healer/counselor/teacher/artist who draws on practices from ACIM\, Non-Violent Communication\, improvisational theater\, Sufism\, and contemporary shamanism to help people remember who they really are. He is the Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He has also taught and/or offered healing in London\, in Japan\, at the 2018 Awakening to the One Mind Retreat\, and at the 2017 Enlight Festival of A Course in Miracles in Ibiza\, Spain.\nhttp://www.chrispelham.com

SUMMARY:Chakra Balancing Meditation
DESCRIPTION:As a group\, we tone the sacred sounds of each chakra 7 times\, creating an energetic flow that loosens and removes blockages and releases negative energy stored within. The sound of the toning creates a vibrational reaction within the body\, which causes stillness and relaxation. We begin with a breathing exercise\, followed by toning\, and ending with an open circle to share the experience and/or ask questions. This is a meditation\, and a self-healing practice. Chakra balancing meditation is excellent for the beginner and the experienced.  \n We all have seven main chakras that sit along the center of the spinal column. The body is a vehicle of consciousness\, and the chakras are where consciousness and matter (the physical body) meet. Together the seven chakras form a profound formula for wholeness that integrates mind\, body and spirit. Making sure they are balanced is essential to our daily and long term lives. They house the consciousness around our survival and safety\, emotions\, sexulaity\, creativity\, self-esteem\, imagination\, our knowingness\, our ability to love and be loved. Emotions such as fear\, stress\, shame\, guilt\, grief\, lies and the ego all block the chakras creating an imbalanced system. Having an imbalanced chakra system can result in physical symptoms in their corresponding body parts and organs.  \nRSVP by email \nJoshua Dorfman is a metaphysical teacher and healer who uses his clairvoyant and empathic abilities to support others looking for more balance and deep spiritual healing. Born extrasensory\, he always had a gift enabling him to know things beyond the physical\, like feeling the energy of a person\, or situation\, knowing people’s true intentions and when something bad was going to happen. As he grew\, he came across various mentors who passed onto him\, great spiritual wisdom. For many years\, Joshua has been self taught\, guided by an “inner voice” toward books and information around the subject of energy healing\, psychic ability and the power of sound\, to name a few. READ MORE >>

SUMMARY:Meditation & Spiritual Reading Practice Based on ACIM
DESCRIPTION:Let’s practice dropping our thoughts\, opening to love’s presence\, and allowing ourselves to melt into one another\, being present with what is. In this eternity we can experience love’s presence in new forms\, giving us new inspiration and direction. \nIt is OK to attend without having studied A Course in Miracles\, but we highly encourage you to begin reading the Text and\, especially\, to begin the workbook lessons if you feel called to do so! Receiving guidance occurs when you cultivate willingness to believe in it and receive it and lay aside resistance. The purpose of ACIM is to help you train your mind to do just that. \nStill\, even without training\, anyone can potentially benefit from meditation practices. At the very least\, you might calm down and have a good time\, and students of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome! \nInstructor Christopher Pelham is the Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He teaches A Course in Miracles and A Course of Love\, offer Spiritual Healing and counseling\, and organizes Sufi events and Healing Circles with Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko. While ACIM is the foundation of his work\, he also draws on his rich experiences with improvisational theater and contemporary shamanism to help people remember who they really are: perfect and limitless expressions of love.
