SUMMARY:Healing Concert with Neda Boin
DESCRIPTION:CRS welcomes back our dear friend award-winning Dutch-Persian singer songwriter Neda Boin of the Netherlands for an intimate evening of soulful music in the White Room. Neda’s music is heart touching\, powerful\, and deeply connective\, and will easily bring you in touch with the love you truly are. \nTickets for the concert are by donation on Eventbrite (and cash only at the door). Seating is extremely limited and RSVP is greatly encouraged. At this time\, proof of full vaccination is required to enter\, and masks will be required to be worn throughout. Latecomers are not guaranteed entry. \nNeda just released her new album\, “Remember You’re Dreaming.” The songs are all deeply inspired and give an intimate look inside her own journey from fear to love. \n“On the 21st of December\, a Persian holiday where the return of the light is celebrated\, singer-songwriter Neda Boin\, who got known for her four-chair-turn blind audition on The Voice\, released her new album\, ‘Remember You’re Dreaming.’ In a time where cases of depression are massively growing and where social media tends to hide our true face\, Neda honestly shares her own process of grief\, feeling lost and trying to find her way back home in this beautiful and heart-touching album. Neda recorded the album in Victoria BC\, where she worked together with multi-Grammy award winning producer Joby Baker. The warm and inspiring songs are there for anyone who could use some extra light during dark times.” — music journalist and producer Rick Jamm \nOrder new album: https://nedaboin.com/shop \n\n\n\n“Listening to Neda sing brings forth an experience of Divine Love within. She has a gift of expressing the sound of Heaven so we can all remember the Love that exists within each one of us. Neda’s music makes me feel pure joy. She has the voice of an angel.” — Corinne Zupko\, Ed.S.\, author of From Anxiety to Love \n“Neda’s music is a way to merge with the Spirit and feel the absolute glory of Divine Love. Her amazing voice enhances the lyrics from Heaven\, and my soul is lifted every time I listen.” — David Hoffmeister\, author of Unwind Your Mind Back to God \nHer first album\, “The Light Has Come\,” won Best Album of the Year at the Rotterdam Music Awards. Amazingly\, Neda\, then a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) for 8+ years\, channeled all the songs on the album in just two weeks\, all inspired from ACIM Workbook lessons\, making it the first album inspired by ACIM to win album of the year. Profoundly spiritual in nature\, the songs are deeply satisfying as songs\, with beautiful and irresistible music colored with soul\, jazz and world music inflections\, brought to soaring life by Neda’s angelic voice. \n\n\n\nFor more info about Neda\, visit:\nhttps://nedaboin.com/neda-boin/ \nListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0uaakWJVtW4N040gkuxagL\nFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neda_boin/\nFollow on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/NedaBoin?sub_confirmation=1\nTour schedule: https://nedaboin.com/events\nVoice Liberation program: https://www.members.nedaboin.com/promotion

SUMMARY:Guided Meditation with Yasuko Kasaki in English (on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays from 6:30 – 7 pm from July 12 – October 25\, 2022 (except Oct 11 and 18)\nFollowed by ACIM Class from 7 – 8 pm (same Zoom link) \nZoom Meeting Link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81541160040 \nCall-in info:\nMeeting ID: 815 4116 0040\nOne tap mobile: 1-929-436-2866 \nSuggested donation $20 via PayPal to https://www.paypal.me/crsny\n(no one turned away due to lack of funds) \nPlease join me in the sharing of miracles. Here\, your mind can come to rest and you can remember true peace. No experience with meditation is required\, and everyone is welcome. I ask only that you make it your intention to sit still\, quiet in body and mind\, and to listen to\, receive\, and follow my instruction to the best of your ability. You will learn to meditate as you practice. \nEach week I will share with you a different inspirational message from Holy Spirit. This may take the form of creative visualization exercises\, or instruction about the nature and purpose of meditation\, or about our true nature and relationship to ourselves\, to one another\, and to the world. In a sense\, this is both a meditation practice and a meditation class. At the end of the meditation you will have a chance to respond briefly if you like. \nSome students have been practicing regularly for a number of years. Others drop in and out as they have time or need. Some come to learn and grow\, others more so simply to calm down\, to take time out from the frenetic pace of their busy lives. If you are new and feeling uncertain or shaky\, do not hesitate to introduce yourself to some of the other students\, to ask questions before or after. Try to observe and emulate the stillness and concentration of others around you whom you sense are most grounded. Soon\, you\, in turn\, may provide inspiration and guidance for others. \nWhile the principles are based on A Course in Miracles (ACIM)\, it does not matter if you are unfamiliar with ACIM or are not prepared to study it outside of this meditation. You can still take from this practice some very practical\, effective lessons\, tools\, and experiences that can enable you to lead a more peaceful\, purposeful\, fulfilling and loving life. \nABOUT YASUKO KASAKI \nYasuko Kasaki is an internationally beloved spiritual writer\, counselor\, healer\, lecturer and translator from Tokyo. She is widely recognized as the person most responsible for the spread of A Course in Miraclesthroughout Japan. In 2004 she founded CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing)\, the first and only spiritual center devoted to the teaching and practice of A Course in Miracles in New York City. She has taught and worked with thousands of people from around the world to help resolve their mental and physical issues and witness miracles. She presents at the CMC’s annual ACIM Conferences in the U.S.\, and several times a year she gives large seminars throughout Japan. She has also been presented internationally at ACIM conferences and workshops in the U.K.\, Spain\, Germany\, and Israel. \nYasuko is the author of The Scales Fell from My Eyes: An Illustrated Course in Miracles and 17 books in Japanese about the Course\, as well as numerous novels\, short stories\, essays and collections of photographs. Her translations of the ACIM Workbook and of books by Course teachers Jon Mundy\, Gabrielle Bernstein and David Hoffmeister have also been published in Japan. Yasuko’s spiritual writing and lectures are celebrated for their clearly stated explanations of complex concepts illustrated by captivating personal stories of struggle and triumph\, drawn from her long career as a writer\, motorcyclist\, and spiritual counselor. Meditation and communication with Holy Spirit form the foundation of her practice.

SUMMARY:Meditation\, Spiritual Healing\, and Brain Activity Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Finally\, we are able to welcome you back in person for guided meditation and spiritual healing with CRS founder Yasuko Kasaki and CRS healers! And we have a special guest with us this time\, visiting artist-in-residence Hyo Jee Kang of South Korea\, who has been conducting research into the effects of creativity and meditation on brain activity. \nSpace is limited. To RSVP\, please email Etsuko at etsuko@crsny.org. She will let you know if there is still space. \nBring any issue you are facing right now — physically\, emotionally\, mentally\, and/or spiritually. With eyes closed (you will be seated and a healer will stand nearby; no touching is involved)\, a CRS healer\, trained in A Course in Miracles and spiritual reading/healing\, will observe you with her inner sight\, free of any judgments\, as your truly are\, a perfect shining spirit. Together\, we will ask the Holy Spirit (or Inner Guide if you prefer) to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and ask for guidance about how your spirit really wants to make use of your present situation for its growth and sharing of love. After about 5 – 10 minutes of meditation\, we will share the inspirational guidance that we receive. \nHyo Jee — a Seoul-based concert pianist\, composer\, and conceptual artist whose concert LOOKING-MIND we will present the following day\, July 24 at 7pm at Greenwich House Music School — will be demonstrating a piece of technology called the NIRSIT Lite — a portable fNIRS device developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) Professor Hyunmin Bae and produced by OBE Lab — that measures the activation level of hemoglobin in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. The measured brain activity is graphically presented in real time via video projection. You will have the opportunity to see a visual presentation of brain activity before and after meditation and healing! \nHyo Jee will also give a brief explanation of how the technology works and what they have learned so far. However\, for the most part\, we will share healing quietly and provide you with an opportunity to come to rest\, reflect\, and remember who you truly are\, in a supportive\, non-judgmental\, meditative environment. You can learn more about Hyo Jee Kang here. \n\nWe’d like to offer you an opportunity to experience stillness of mind and peace so that you can return to harmony with your true nature and purpose. Then you will find that rather than needing “solutions” to “problems” you will realize that you have no problems except those that you project. \nWe call this spiritual healing but it is not religious nor connected with any church or group. It is simply a practice of meditating together on our true nature and connecting with universal spirit/energy or what you will. \nA Note About the Role of Words in Healing: “Strictly speaking\, words play no part at all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer\, or asking. What you ask for you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart\, not to the words you use in praying. Sometimes the words and the prayer are contradictory; sometimes they agree. It does not matter. God does not understand words\, for they were made by separated minds to keep them in the illusion of separation. Words can be helpful\, particularly for the beginner\, in helping concentration and facilitating the exclusion\, or at least the control\, of extraneous thoughts. Let us not forget\, however\, that words are but symbols of symbols. They are thus twice removed from reality….” — A Course in Miracles Manual for Teachers\, Section 21 \n“Since only the mind can be sick\, only the mind can be healed. Only the mind is in need of healing.” —”PSYCHOTHERAPY: Purpose\, Process and Practice\,”Supplements to A Course in Miracles [/expand]

SUMMARY:Paradise Laboratory:  LOOKING-MIND by Hyo Jee Kang
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents LOOKING–MIND\, a unique and ground-breaking performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and improvisation by Seoul-based pianist Hyo Jee Kang in conjunction with the real-time visual presentation of data of her brain activity as measured by a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) device while she plays. The program will include a presentation about this research into the relationship between creative activity and brain activity and further demonstration and explanation of the device\, the first such demonstration of this technology in the United States. A similar program\, “Bach-Brain” was premiered by Kang last month at Lotte Concert Hall in Seoul\, South Korea. \nLOOKING–MIND is a metaphor of Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Through the Goldberg Variations and brain imaging scan you can enter a new world of another universe but it is born in your brain. \nThe musical program includes: \n\nJ.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations BWV 988 with fNIRS (Brain Imaging Scan) \n\n\n\n\nAria\nVariatio 1. a 1 Clav.\nVariatio 2. a 1 Clav.\nVariatio 3. Canone all’Unisono. a 1 Clav.\nVariatio 4. a 1 Clav.\nVariatio 5. a 1 ô vero 2 Clav.\nVariatio 6. Canone alla Seconda. a 1 Clav.\nVariatio 7. a 1 ô vero 2 Clav. al tempo di Giga\nVariatio 8. a 2 Clav.\nVariatio 9. Canone alla Terza. a 1 Clav.\nVariatio 10. Fughetta. a 1 Clav.\n\n\n\n\nHyo Jee Kang’s “Mind Improvisation” with video by Joo Hun Lee and sound by Jinok Cho and Hyo Jee Kang\n\n\nArtist Talk\n\nWhile Kang plays\, the NIRSIT Lite — a portable fNIRS device developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) Professor Hyunmin Bae and produced by OBE Lab — measures the activation level of hemoglobin in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. The measured brain activity is graphically presented in real time via video projection.  \nIn “Mind Improvisation\,”  the data of this device is transformed into synthesized sound and projected visuals. Kang started with the question of “how the brain moves when humans perform artistic actions.” First\, she scans her own brain\, transmits the data in real time\, and uses it as a value for sound formation. This is again used as a value for the image transformation\, and the sound and visual image being transformed by the performer’s brain action causes an instantly improvised transformation of the performer again. In other words\, a situation develops where the input and output of sound\, image\, and the performer’s brain activity and performance continuously transform each other. \nTickets are $20 and are available online through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only\, if not sold out. All patrons must show proof of vaccination at the door in order to be admitted\, no exceptions. In addition\, masks must be worn throughout. \nDuring Kang’s three-week residency in New York City\, she will also lead workshop demonstrations of the device. \nPARADISE LABORATORY is a playground for sonic and visual experimentation. Conceived of during the pandemic by the renowned Korean traditional multi-instrumentalist\, curator\, and scholar gamin\, Paradise Laboratory provides musical artists with opportunities to rehearse\, record\, film\, and perform with other musical\, visual\, and dance artists in an experimental\, process-oriented\, and artist-centered fashion. \nABOUT HYO JEE KANG \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 Seoul and serves as a faculty member at Korea National University of Transportation. In May 2018\, she gave her solo performance with great success at Lincoln Center\, including the Conceptual Transformation Performance “Pyung Yang.” She was one of 12 artists from around the world selected to participate 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\, realized in collaboration with the Taipei Arts Festival. FLY IN WATER\, created by Hyo Jee and other members of MAG performance group\, was presented by CRS in August 2019. \nHer work “Yut-Nori” is an interactive performance that consists of real-time Yut-nori ( Korean more than 1000 year-old game) performed on stage and selected music play and the sound of throwing Yut(half-rounded stick) in real time through the symbol of the yut boardplate. It was premiered by two pianists and two yutnori actors\, and the visual art works of the game board expressing the image of Yut-board in this work were invited to the Concept Arts exhibition in New York\, USA. \nHer work “This Is Not Me” was commissioned and world premiered by Korean traditional music player Kim Hyeon-Hee as a conceptual music work. Contemporary dancer Jeong Jae-woo interpreted as movement and music\, and film director Heo Cheol-Nyeong interpreted it as a documentary film.  \nAs a promising artist (MAP artist) of the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture\, she successfully held a musical monologue “Do or not” directed by Park Sang-Yeon. She opened up new possibilities of performing arts that constantly exchanges multifaceted\, improvised\, but philosophical messages between a creator\, interpreters\, and audience.  \nIn 2017 Hyo Jee released “G.Ligeti-H.J.Kang Lux Aeterna\,” a collaboration with a wearable artist\, combining Korean dance and media art with colleague Kyoung Mi Kim.  \n Hyo Jee Kang has won numerous prizes including the monthly music contest at the age of 10\, the youngest grand prize in the Teenager Competition\, 2nd prize in the Ihwa Kyunghyang Competition\, and was selected as a young artist in Kumho for a solo recital. \nShe went on to study at Seoul National University and continued her music studies at the Hanover College of Music\, theater\, and media in Germany where she majored in piano and composition under Johannes Schoellhorn. She then went on to study and major in piano at the Konzertexamen course under the supervision of Professor Matti Raekallio. For Yisang Yun’s Shao Yang Yin and other performances performed at the Mönchhaus Museum der modernen Kunst in Goslar\, Germany\, world-renowned professor Arie Vardi said\, “I love her unique personality and her outstanding musicality as a pianist\, composer\, improviser\, and creator. ”  She appeared in a commemorative concert\, Schumann Brahms Festival Chamber Music Series in Bucheon City and held a duo concert with violinist Kwon Hyuk-Ju as an opening concert of Sonata Series of Baroque Chamber Hall. \nShe has appearances in various series performances such as Park Chang-Soo’s The House Concert\, Daegu Music Festival\, the 20th anniversary of the Hongga Art Museum in Taiwan\, and Listen to Tomorrow at the Hanover University of Music.  \nHyo Jee’s YouTube channel is youtube.com/hyojeekang. \nHer web site is http://www.hyojeekang.com \nABOUT THE PRESENTER \nCRS (CENTER FOR REMEMBERING & SHARING) is a spiritual healing and art center founded in 2004 by the writer/lecturer/spiritual counselor Yasuko Kasaki and artist Christopher Pelham.

SUMMARY:Unforgotten Song
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to a live presentation of “Unforgotten Song\,” a music and multimedia work commemorating the anguish ad resilience of the Comfort Women\, local women enslaved throughout Japan-occupied East Asia\, 1932-1945. This tribute is intended to include all women who are and have been victims of sexual violence and exploitation. These songs of our strong and resilient Mothers and Grandmothers must be “unforgotten” to inspire the following generations of women and men. \nAt its heart\, the concert transforms archived songs sung by survivors into tales of resilience\, courage\, and strength in the face of suffering and injustice. In poignant irony\, gamin’s composition results in a beautiful yet heart-breaking paean not only for victims in the past but also for all women who are deeply suffering from injustice in the world. \nThis multi-media work envisioned a suite of compositions all connected by improvised melodies\, like a stream that flows from one thought to the next. The improvisation and soundtrack would be created by Korean woodwinds by gamin and it will be combined with visual art. \nCRS previously presented a version of this work online last summer as part of the Crossing Boundaries Concert Series in lieu of an in-person concert and exhibition that was originally planned for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic. \n– Artists\nProduced & Performed by gamin\nVisual art by Chang-Jin Lee\nShakuhachi by Adam Robinson\nCello by Ana Kim\nPoem by Tanya Ko Hong\nSound mix by John Chang \nDate : July 29\, 2022\nTime : 7 PM\nLocation: Sanctuary NYC (1519 Decatur Street\, #104\, Ridgewood\, NY 11385)\nDirections: L train to Halsey St\, then walk 3 blocks \nhttps://unforgottensong.eventbrite.com \n* Free Admission\n* There will be an Artist talk after the performance and free drinks will be provided\n– Special Thanks to Chinatown Partnership LDC\n– [Unforgotten Song] is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \n– As part of gamin’s projects\, it has been continuously supported by Brandeis University\, CRS(Center for Remembering and Sharing)\, Jerome Hill Foundation\, and New Music USA.

SUMMARY:Paradise Laboratory:  Pulses with Maya Angelou and Elsa Nilsson: Thyme
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) invites you to join in a unique deep listening experience with the jazz quartet Elsa Nilsson: Thyme and the poetry of Maya Angelou on July 31\, 2022 at 7pm in the award-winning White Room at CRS. \nMany species use sound to communicate. Elsa Nilsson\, Santiago Leibson\, Marty Kenney and Rodrigo Recabarren asked themselves; what is the line that makes sound music? If beauty is in the eye of the beholder\, then isn’t music in the ear of the listener? As they listened to words around them they became enchanted with the subtleties in the sounds of voices. It began with Rodrigo playing rhythms along with speeches where he wanted to accentuate the meanings of what was being said. He sent Elsa Maya Angelou’s “On the Pulse Of Morning” full of rocks\, rivers and trees. Elsa fell in love with the deep musicality present in every sound. She listened and heard echoes of Ornette Coleman in how Maya Angelou ended her phrases. She heard thematic development and musical build in the pitch materials. \nTogether this band took the time to hear the musical communication in the sounds of Maya Angelou’s words. They play with her voice\, enhancing the music that is already there and bringing to light the full depth of her sonic brilliance along with her poetic brilliance. \nJohn Cage heard music in every sound. Groove in a tin can. Humor and art co-existing. This band takes a similar approach to communication. Intentionality does not require a plan\, directionality does not imply rigidity. With the wide open space of the music ahead they stand together with their toes over the edge and jump. \nTickets are $10 for students/seniors and $20 general admission and are available through eventbrite.com and at the door for cash only\, if not sold out. All patrons must show proof of vaccination at the door in order to be admitted\, no exceptions. In addition\, masks must be worn throughout. \nPARADISE LABORATORY is a playground for sonic and visual experimentation. Conceived of during the pandemic by the renowned Korean traditional multi-instrumentalist\, curator\, and scholar gamin\, Paradise Laboratory provides musical artists with opportunities to rehearse\, record\, film\, and perform with other musical\, visual\, and dance artists in an experimental\, process-oriented\, and artist-centered fashion. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nFlute Player\, Composer and Educator Elsa Nilsson was born and raised in Gothenburg\, Sweden and currently resides in Brooklyn\, New York. She can often be found playing at The 55 Bar\, Bar Bayeux and other New York Jazz venues. Nilsson approaches music with an attitude of inclusiveness. She believes there is a space to be found in music that gives us the freedom to be exactly who we are. This leads her to make some unconventional choices as an improviser and composer where the lines between styles become blurred and rules get bent in order to serve the ultimate goal of sincere communication. Nilsson draws inspiration from every aspect of life and music that moves her\, combining them through the lens of Jazz to create a deeply personal expression that she hopes is universally relatable. Nilsson is on Faculty at The New School College for Performing Arts. \nhttps://www.elsanilssonmusic.com/ \nSantiago Leibson is a Brooklyn based\, Argentinian born jazz pianist and composer. His music is situated in the frontier of jazz\, improvised music\, classical and contemporary music.  As a bandleader\, he has released five records: Amon (2014)\, Pendular (2015)\, Out of Orden (2016)\, Episodes (2018) and Little Pieces (2020). JazzTrail says about Episodes: “Episodes is a swinging album with abundant evocations of past grandeur. Thence\, the trio of performers lay bare their solid command of time and space to create new narratives.” \nhttps://www.santiagoleibson.com/ \nMarty Kenney has performed with musicians such as Art Lande\, Billy Drummond\, Rich Perry\, Steve Slagle\, Allan Harris\, Rez Abbasi\, Brandon Seabrook\, Brian Krock’s Big Heart Machine\, David Berkman\, and the New York Standards Quartet featuring Tim Armacost and Gene Jackson.
