SUMMARY:Sufi Dance Class with Paola Garcia
DESCRIPTION:Learn the ancient practice of meditative whirling known as Sufi dance or Sema (Sama in Iranian). You will learn the techniques of whirling\, but Sema is not about reproducing a certain form or aesthetic. Rather\, the technique serves as a vehicle for inner journeying. Sema means spiritual listening. Together we’ll create a sacred space in which we can safely listen to and share our true selves and experience oneness with the Divine. \nEach class consists of some explanation of the theory and technique\, exercises\, practice whirling\, and sharing and discussion of what you experienced and felt. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing like yoga pants or leggings and T shirts ( no tube top or short pants) and solid colors are recommended\, 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. \nAvoid eating a large meal for two hours prior to class. \nWhirling commonly induces dizziness or nausea. Over time\, through whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control. 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. \nClasses are $25 ($20 with advanced registration). \nAbout Sufi Dance Instructor Paola García \nSufi Dance artist Rana Gorgani awarded Paola the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO\, granting her authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi dance training. Paola holds a Master’s Degree in Islamic Studies from Columbia University. She is a writer\, Middle Eastern Studies researcher\, translator and student of Sufism. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Electricity — Works by Fanny Pérez Gutiérrez
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents an exhibition of recent works by artist and dancer Fanny Pérez Gutiérrez inspired by her personal\,experiences and visions that have come to her revealing the light connecting all of creation. \nThe exhibition will be on view from October 4 – November 25\, 2019. An opening reception with live performance by the artist will take place on Saturday\, October 12\, 2019 from 6:30 – 8 pm. \nCONCEPT \n“The day when we shall know exactly what “electricity” is\, will chronicle an event probably greater\, more important than any other recorded in the history of the human race.” — N. Tesla \nOn my 25th birthday I attended a ceremony where I was taught a lesson about love. I was shown a line of women: a mom and her daughter\, then my grandmother\, then my mom\, I could feel something building up inside me\, and then the dog that lived with us since I was 15 appeared. Her eyes like a well staring back at me\, a love so giving that expected nothing in return\, pure. I exploded. Out of me came thousands\, millions of rays of light until I saw myself as a star\, sitting in space. I understood that that’s where I am and always will be\, and that from there\, I could go wherever\, whenever because every single point in space and time is connected\, by the light. \nIn mysticism\, as in modern physics\, light is a recurrent theme\, but it wasn’t until I had a direct experience that I began noticing. What you see in this series are depictions of my learning. Each one is a tribute to honor the knowledge that has manifested. \n— Fanny \nARTIST STATEMENT \nOne of the definitions of art is that it is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. I like it because it puts so much of what I think art is simply into one sentence. Art is so much more that whatever we put on an empty canvas and it’s important to recognize its multidimensionality. By doing so\, not only do we highlight the existence of art outside of what/where we normally consider it to be\, but we are reminded of the transient nature of the state of things. \nIt’s difficult to name one’s identity with a single noun\, or by what one does at a specific moment; exclusion by naming is dire. I consider art to be part of our humanity\, one that develops best when in harmony with our environment. It is our birthright to have room to express ourselves\, and with that\, push forward new ideas that change the shape of things. I become an artist to bring what I experience in other planes to this plane.  \nARTIST BIOGRAPHY \nFanny Pérez Gutiérrez was born in Mexico City in December 1989 to Fanny and Beto. She grew up dancing and arrived in NYC at 18. After school\, she became involved in the non-profit art world\, then for a couple of years taught art and dance to kids. For the last year has been dedicated to aligning herself with her passions\, which are dancing & impulsing the demystification of important aspects of life that we’ve been conditioned to undermine.

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

SUMMARY:CRS Healing Circle:  Meditation + Whirling Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly Healing Circle + Whirling (Sufi Dance) Prayer! \nLed by Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko and CRS Healer 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://is.gd/B9HElo \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. 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:Sufi Dance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) invites you to join our whirling community for an intensive workshop in Sufi Dance (sema or samâ in Arabic and Farsi) led by Sufi dance artists & CRS instructors Paola García and Lâle Sayoko. Samâ means spiritual listening and its accompanying whirling dance embodies unity: unity within our own selves first\, and with the outer world and “others” second. Both beginners and more experienced whirlers and people of all faiths and ages are welcome. Together\, let’s experience the peace and blissfulness that come with accepting all feelings that arise during our practice\, including the uncomfortable. \nIn this workshop\, you will learn whirling technique and experience several meditation-in-motion exercises meant to facilitate connection with the deepest parts of our selves. You will also learn essential facts and some history about Sufism. This will promote an understanding of how we can benefit from the wisdom of this ancient tradition in a way that is deeply relevant and applicable to our experience as modern beings. Poetry and sacred music will be important components of this workshop. Those with prior experience will learn more advanced techniques and be led deeper into their practice. \n“Dancing is not just getting up painlessly\, like a leaf blown on the wind; dancing is when you tear your heart out and rise out of your body to hang suspended between the worlds.”\n– Jalal ad-Din Rumi. \nSufi whirling is called the dance of the soul because of its ability to liberate the dancer’s soul from the prison of the body. A background in dance is not necessary to benefit from the alchemy and spiritual richness of this practice\, derived from Islamic mysticism. Cathartic and powerful\, this practice is life-altering\, exerting an irresistible pull on those who are called to it\, and therefore meant to remove their veils and witness the intoxicating light of the divinity that lies at the core of our human essence. \nThe workshop fee is $70 until Oct 18 and $80 at the door. Registration is available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. \nPlease wear solid colored comfortable clothing like yoga pants or leggings and no jewelry or strapless tops or short skirts/pants. Bring socks or flat dance slippers to dance in. If you have a whirling skirt\, you may bring it. Bring a notebook and pen and water bottle. \nDo not eat for at least a couple of hours before the workshop. \nLearn more about Sufi dance:\nhttps://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2016/09/196246/the-one-thing-in-the-world-you-must-never-forget/ \nAbout the Instructors \nPaola García was awarded the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO by Persian master Rana Gorgani\, granting Paola the authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi dance training. She holds a Master’s Degree in Islamic Studies from Columbia University. She is a writer\, Middle Eastern Studies researcher\, translator and student of Sufism. \nLâle 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.
