DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to enjoy a cutting edge sound meditation experience from Japan by Zen master Ryūgyō Kurashima and renowned music producer Masahiro Nakawaki (Ryūichi Sakamoto\, Perfume\, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu\, etc.). Three sessions will take place on June 4\, 2023 at 1 pm\, 3 pm and 5 pm in the award-winning White Room at CRS. \nIn the hustle and bustle of everyday life\, we often find it difficult to make time to fully relax and be in tune with ourselves. However\, despite our busy schedules\, it is possible to practice mindful meditation as a form of self-care. \nUsing traditional Japanese Zen meditation techniques\, the “Zen Mind” method offers a sound meditation session accompanied by a live singing bowl performance and healing music. The program was produced by the two experts in their respective fields – Reverend Ryūgyō Kurashima\, the 54th chief priest of the Shitennōji Temple\, and Mr. Masahiro Nakawaki\, a renowned music producer from Japan. \nThis program will include an in-person talk by the instructors\, followed by the Zen Mind experience. During the talk\, guests will learn about the scientifically measurable effects of Zen Mind as a form of mindfulness\, before immersing in a live performance led by the experts. The program welcomes seasoned meditators as well as total newcomers\, and all will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the benefits of “Zen Mind” meditation and feel transported to a “place” they cannot experience at home. \nThis program is offered in English and Japanese. \nSpace is limited so please register for one of the sessions in advance via eventbrite.com:\nhttps://bit.ly/3MdczX3 \nYou can also pay $25 cash at the door if space is available.

SUMMARY:CRS Presents Jessica Ackerley\, Sarah Manning\, and Alma Laprida in Concert
DESCRIPTION:CRS is delighted to present M³ (Mutual Mentorship for Musicians)’ Winter Solstice 2021 Cohort member Jessica Ackerley (guitar) with Sarah Manning (saxophone) and Alma Laprida (tromba marina) on June 18\, 2023 at 5pm in the award-winning White Room at CRS. An audience Q&A will take place following the concert.  \nThis trio’s music is mostly centered around improvisation with a melding of modern jazz and ambient music. But the ensemble is highly unique with the addition of the string instrument tromba marina\, especially in this context because it was originally an instrument for Rennaissance music. \nA tromba marina\, marine trumpet or nuns’ fiddle\, (Fr. trompette marine; Ger. Marientrompete\, Trompetengeige\, Nonnengeige or Trumscheit\, Pol. tubmaryna) is a triangular bowed string instrument used in medieval and Renaissance Europe that was highly popular in the 15th century in England and survived into the 18th century. The tromba marina consists of a body and neck in the shape of a truncated cone resting on a triangular base. It is usually four to seven feet long\, and is a monochord (although some versions have sympathetically-vibrating strings). It is played without stopping the string\, but playing natural harmonics by lightly touching the string with the thumb at nodal points. Its name comes from its trumpet like sound due to the unusual construction of the bridge\, and the resemblance of its contour to the marine speaking-trumpet of the Middle Ages. — from Wikipedia\, the free encyclopedia \nTickets are $20 general admission and $10 for students and are available in advance on eventbrite.com. If not sold out\, tickets will also be available at the door for cash only. Some seating may be on blankets on the floor.  \nThe concert will take place in the award-winning White Room at CRS. Please note that the venue is accessible only via a flight of stairs and is not wheelchair accessible. Proof of vaccination is not required but the wearing of masks is encouraged. \nThe White Room at CRS is located between 12th & 13th streets\, above Think Coffee\, in Manhattan. The nearest subway station is 14th St / Union Square (4/5/6\, N/R/Q/W\, L). \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nSarah Manning is a saxophonist and composer. She has released four critically acclaimed albums. Harmonious Creature (Posi-Tone 2014) received 4 stars in Down Beat Magazine\, and was on multiple jazz top ten lists including the Los Angeles Times. She is a recipient of a 2021 NYSCA composer commission and a MAP Fund 2020 and 2021 grantee for We Will Not Be Composed\, a new multimedia work with author and activist Soraya Chemaly to challenge perceptions of women’s anger in America.

SUMMARY:A Rooftop Sufi Solstice Celebration (indoors in case of rain)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in celebrating the Summer Solstice with NOoSPHERE Arts as they kick off their WE ARE NATURE: Rising and Falling annual rooftop series. Held in the spectacular\, one-of-a-kind setting of wildflower meadows stretching across the roofs of an industrial plant against the iconic backdrop of the NYC skyline\, the event will be centered around a Sufi opening ritual honoring nature’s cycles\, performed by Whirling Dervish Farima Berenji. Farima—a Sufi Master and Magi from the bloodline of Iranian Zoroastrian Magi—and her sacred dancers will be accompanied by the klezmer music and Sephardic folk melodies of The Shul Band. The ceremony has been designed as a unique blend of Muslim and Jewish elements— epitomizing the possibility of interfaith collaboration. Join us at Sunset to mark this special occasion! \nThe main event will involve solo acts\, duets and a whirling performance in which several participants— including Cyr wheelers—will interpret the movements of individual planets around a star. The show will also feature poetry readings and storytelling by Master Farima and be accompanied by the live music of the Shul Band. Following the whirlers’ performances\, The Shul Band will continue playing against the darkening night sky. \n*Update: We have a Rain Plan in place with an indoor option for the performances\, with view of the skyline! \nCRS is one of the sponsors of the event. The following members of our community will be whirling at the event under the direction of Farima: Fanny Pérez\, Juliet Rania\, Naeema Butt\, Oihana Garde\, Veronica Santiago\, and Wendi Weng\, as well as visiting artists Bani and Jeff from Farima’s Simorgh Dance Collective in CA. \nTickets are available via Eventbrite:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/rooftop-season-opening-event-an-ecstatic-solstice-celebration-tickets-640904210747 \nA Sema Gathering (free) and two Whirling workshops (Basic and advanced Whirling practices) will be offered on the day following the event (Sun\, Jun 25: Beginner: 12-1:30 pm\, Advanced: 2-3:30 pm).\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/soul-of-the-sema-whirling-workshops-tickets-638797419277 \nFarima Berenji is an internationally acclaimed dance artist\, ethnologist\, choreographer\, instructor\, and archaeologist specializing in ancient\, sacred\, classical\, and folk dances spanning the millenniums of Persian civilization\, the Silk Road\, and the Near East.\nhttp://farimadance.com/ \nThe Shul Band\, led by Adam Feder\, plays music rooted in Jewish folk music but drawing on the musical wellsprings of New York City and of the whole world. It is equally prayerful and raucous\, meditative and joyful. The band has performed at major venues such as Carnegie Hall.\nhttps://www.theshulband.com/ \nThis is the fourth iteration of the NOoSPHERE Art’s annual rooftop series. Each season’s theme references an aspect of systems thinking\, an approach to environmental sustainability spearheaded by leading thinker Fritjof Capra\, a longtime NOoSPHERE Arts collaborator. This view considers all the major problems of our time—including energy\, economics\, climate change\, and inequality—as interconnected and interdependent. In 2023\, the summer series explores the theme of Nature’s Cycles. A cycle is an interval of time during which a characteristic event occurs\, often repeated regularly or in a sequence of events. There are cycles in everything—seasons\, circadian rhythms\, cellular life\, planetary systems\, politics\, and economics—and cycles in one realm affect cycles in others. Thinking about cycles can help us to discern structure\, order\, and patterns in the world around us\, and to realize that everything in life will ebb and flow—an encouraging thought in times of darkness. \nNOoSPHERE Arts is a 501c3 organization and cultural center led by a team of international creatives whose backgrounds blend the arts and sciences. Its freewheeling\, multidisciplinary approach engages diverse audiences and builds community through a range of vibrant public events in its indoor-outdoor home in Brooklyn\, NYC. The only multidisciplinary arts center in the Greenpoint neighborhood\, it is a welcoming platform where resident and migrant artists alike connect with locals. Uniting music\, dance\, visual arts\, theater\, film\, poetry & prose\, its collaborative productions at the nexus of art and eco-awareness harness the power of art to drive action towards green living\, fair play\, and oneness.\nhttps://www.noosphere-arts.nyc/

Majored in Chinese Music at the Tainan National University of the Arts\, Li-Chin received solid training in traditional music education. After graduation\, she worked for the most selective and prestige Orchestra\, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra as a Sheng performer.

Through her work\, she is committed to exploring musicians’ subjectivity and diversity of roles in the performing arts. \nIn October 2021\, Li-Chin took part in a six-month residency program at the esteemed Cité internationale des arts in Paris. Handpicked by the Ministry of Culture\, Taiwan\, she seized this opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of talented composers and musicians residing in France\, culminating with her performance in the concert “Rencontre autour du Sheng à Paris” co-presented by the Italian Cultural Centre and Taiwan Cultiral Centre in Paris at the end of her residency there. The concert garnered praise from the French national radio program\, “Journal de la Création\,” making a significant impact on the exchange of contemporary music between Taiwan and France\, as well as elevating Taiwan’s sheng music to an international stage. \nRecently\, she has been selected as a member of IRCAM concert de l’atelier d’improvisation\, ManiFeste-2022\, and she has been guested with Ensemble LINEA and Ensemble CAIRN in 2022. Last but not least\, she is a grantee of Asian Culture Council in New York 2023. \nhttps://lichinli.art/ \nJeonghyeon Joo is an award-winning haegeum performer\, composer\, improviser\, and researcher who is an ardent advocate for new and experimental music. Joo’s work explores the somatic\, corporeal relationship between musical instrument and body\, frequently collaborating with composers\, performers\, visual artists\, choreographers\, film directors\, and dancers. Her recent projects have been supported by Arts Council Korea and Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture.

Majored in Chinese Music at the Tainan National University of the Arts Li-Chin received solid training in traditional music education. After graduation she worked for the most selective and prestige Orchestra Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra as a Sheng performer. Li-chin soon figured a nine-to-five job doesn’t’ suit her for making her own music and performing. Li-chin is known for her ability to apply Sheng to various art forms and music genres. Through her work she is committed to exploring musicians’ subjectivity and diversity of roles in the performing arts. \nIn October 2021 Li-Chin took part in a six-month residency program at the esteemed Cité internationale des arts in Paris. Handpicked by the Ministry of Culture Taiwan she seized this opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of talented composers and musicians residing in France culminating with her performance in the concert “Rencontre autour du Sheng à Paris” co-presented by the Italian Cultural Centre and Taiwan Cultiral Centre in Paris at the end of her residency there. The concert garnered praise from the French national radio program “Journal de la Création” making a significant impact on the exchange of contemporary music between Taiwan and France as well as elevating Taiwan’s sheng music to an international stage. \nRecently she has been selected as a member of IRCAM concert de l’atelier d’improvisation ManiFeste-2022 and she has been guested with Ensemble LINEA and Ensemble CAIRN in 2022. Last but not least she is a grantee of Asian Culture Council in New York 2023. \nhttps://lichinli.art/ \nJeonghyeon Joo is an award-winning haegeum performer composer improviser and researcher who is an ardent advocate for new and experimental music. Joo’s work explores the somatic corporeal relationship between musical instrument and body frequently collaborating with composers performers visual artists choreographers film directors and dancers. Her recent projects have been supported by Arts Council Korea and Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture. She is currently pursuing a DMA at the California Institute of the Arts and is on faculty at the California Institute of the Arts and Seoul Institute of the Arts. \nhttps://www.joowork.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:Guided Meditation with Yasuko Kasaki in English (on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays from 6:30 – 7 pm\nJune 27\, July 11\, July 25\, August 15\, August 29\, 2023\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 class 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.
