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.

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 >>
