SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Guided Meditation & Spiritual Healing Clinic with Yasuko Kasaki & CRS Healers
DESCRIPTION:Due to the forecast of dangerously cold weather this Saturday\, we have decided to postpone this Saturday’s in-person meditation and healing clinic. We apologize for the inconvenience\, and we look forward to welcoming you back on a warmer day! \nWe are happy to invite you back to CRS in person for an afternoon of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual community! Let’s witness the light in one another and share stillness and peace of mind. We’ll begin with a short talk and guided meditation by Yasuko and then share our one-on-one spiritual healing with you. After we can enjoy some social time together. \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 his inner sight\, free of any judgments\, as your truly are\, a perfect shining spirit. Together\, 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 10 minutes of meditation\, we will share the inspirational guidance that we receive. \nSuggested Donation $20 cash. No one turned away due to lack of funds.\nRSVP REQUIRED to etsuko@crsny.org\nProof of vaccination is not required but you are encouraged to wear a mask while present. And if you have any COVID/cold symptoms\, please do not come this time.  \nWe 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. We’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

SUMMARY:CRS presents Shoko Nagai’s Tokala with violinist Sita Chay & percussionist Satoshi Takeishi
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents Shoko Nagai’s TOKALA ensemble featuring Shoko Nagai(piano/accordion)\, Satoshi Takeishi (percussion) and Sita Chay (violin). Tokala explores the ancient connections between Japan and the Middle East established via the Silk Road; this conduit of cultural and commercial exchange left an imprint that became an integral part of Japanese culture.  \nBringing together Japanese and Korean folk\, pop music and Middle Eastern music\, Tokala illuminates and expands the centuries-old connections between these traditions.  \nTickets are $20 ($10 for students) and are available via Eventbrite and at the door (cash only). Proof of vaccination is not required but you are encouraged to wear a mask. \n“We have seen the art works\, instruments\, and other artistic objects from the Persian empire preserved in Imperial storage in Nara\, Japan. We can but only imagine what it was like for musicians of Japan to hear the sounds of Persian court music. We are sure that it has left strong imprints deep in the Japanese traditional culture.” — Shoko Nagai \nTokala received a grant from NYFA (New York Fine Arts) for City Artist Corps 2021. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nShoko Nagai is a versatile musical artist who improvises and performs with world-renowned musicians on piano and accordion and composes original scores for films and live performances. As a teenager in her native Japan\, Nagai was trained on Yamaha’s electronic organ\, the “Electone\,” to perform popular music. Since moving to the U.S. from Japan and studying classical\, jazz music\, and compositions at Berklee\, she has adapted her mastery of the keyboard to prepared piano\, accordions\, and other keyboard instruments\, often inspired by the minimalist approach of composer Toru Takemitsu. Whether she is performing Klezmer\, Balkan or experimental music\, Nagai is a charismatic presence onstage\, who hypnotizes audiences with her intense focus and virtuoso sound. http://www.shokonagai.net/ \n“Whether traipsing over a steady\, rolling rhythm or swimming through a collage of abstract sound\, Nagai\, a pianist\, treat every moment as an opportunity for deep synchronicity.” — GIOVANNI RUSSONELL\, New York Times \nSatoshi Takeishi\, drummer\, percussionist\, and arranger is a native of Mito\, Japan. He studied music at Berklee College of Music in Boston\, Massachusetts. While at Berklee he developed an interest in the music of South America and went to live in Colombia following the invitation of a friend. He spent four years there and forged many musical and personal relationships. One of the projects he worked on while in Colombia was ‘Macumbia’ with composer/arranger Francisco Zumaque in which traditional\, jazz and classical music were combined. With this group he performed with the Bogota symphony orchestra to do a series of concerts honoring the music of the most popular composer in Colombia\, Lucho Bermudes. In 1986 he returned to Miami\, U.S. where he began working as an arranger/producer as well as a performer. \nIn 1987 he produced ‘Morning Ride’ for jazz flutist Nestor Torres on Polygram Records. His interest expanded to the rhythms and melodies of the Middle East where he studied and performed with Armenian-American oud master Joe Zeytoonian. Since moving to New York in 1991 he has performed and recorded in vast variety of genre\, from world music\, jazz\, contemporary classical music to experimental electronic music with musicians such as Ray Barretto\, Carlos ‘Patato’ Valdes\, Eliane Elias\, Marc Johnson\, Eddie Gomez\, Randy Brecker\, Dave Liebman\, Anthony Braxton\, Mark Murphy\, Herbie Mann\, Paul Winter Consort\, Rabih Abu Khalil\, Erik Friedlander\, Ned Rothenberg\, MIchael Attias\, Shoko Nagai\, Paul Giger\, Toshiko Akiyoshi Big Band\, Ying String Quartet\, Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra\, Dhafer Youssef\, Lalo Schifrin and Pablo Ziegler to name a few.
