SUMMARY:Guided Meditation with Yasuko Kasaki in English (on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:from 6:30 – 7 pm\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. 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:LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART\, an exhibition of five artists who are mothers — Daniela Kostova (Bulgaria)\, Aline Müller (Brazil)\, Quynh “Alex” Nguyễn (Vietnam)\, Katie Heller Saltoun (USA)\, and Satomi Shirai (Japan). Curated by CRS co-founder Christopher Pelham\, the exhibition will be on view at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York from July 21 – 26\, 2025.  \nThis exhibition explores the profound interconnection between motherhood and art. These photographs and 2D works depict experiences and challenges—limited time\, institutional exclusion\, competing responsibilities\, societal expectations—that mother artists face every day\, ultimately reframing motherhood as an experience that requires constant creativity and is a radical\, generative force within artistic life. \nArt making and mothering are both rooted in nonjudgmental attention\, intuitive responsiveness\, and unconditional love. Both require the practitioner to notice what others may overlook and respond creatively with care. This exhibition\, along with the series of Mother Artist Salons being held in conjunction\, celebrates the creative labor of mothers and mother artists\, envisioning a culture that embraces caregiving\, inspiration\, and interdependence as central to both life and art. \nEXHIBITION HOURS\nMonday\, July 21 – July 26\, 2025 (closed July 25)\nMon – Thu 12 – 6 pm\, Sat 12 – 3 pm \nTENRI GALLERY LOCATION\nTenri Cultural Institute of New York\, 43A W 13th St\, New York\, NY 10011 \nIn addition to the above gallery hours\, the exhibition will be on view during several receptions and salons being held in conjunction with the exhibition. These are all free events and no RSVP is required. \nJuly 21 7 pm\nOpening Reception & Artist Salon featuring live music by mother artist Eunbi Kim + Q&A \nJuly 23 7pm\nThis Is a Movement Artist Salon featuring live music by mother artists Goussy Celestin and Amma Whatt + Q+A with artists and Niama Safia Sandy\, co-founder\, This Is a Movement \nJuly 24 7 pm\nArtist Salon featuring live music by mother artists Layale Chaker (violin) and Maeve Gilchrist (harp) + Q&A \nJuly 26 3 pm doors / 3:30 pm program starts\nClosing Reception & Artist Salon featuring live music by Sita Chay (violin) and Rema Hasumi (keyboard) + Q&A with the exhibition artists + talk by mother artist and author / peacemaker / philanthropist Le Ly Hayslip on Lessons Not Learned from the American War in Vietnam \n“Being an artist is to experience a vigorous\, experimental life of the mind and of the senses. Parenthood is another enriching experience: primal\, haptic and life-affirming. Why are the two still seen as incompatible?” — Jeffrey Boloten and Juliet Hacking\, Forward to How Not to Exclude Artist Mothers (and other parents) \nHow often do we ask a man how he balances work and parenting responsibilities? How frequently do we assume that a mother has no time for making art or that motherhood and child-raising are not only not creative but less worthy subjects for art? Of course\, it’s hardly shocking to announce that pregnancy and childcare require time and energy and that women supply the bulk of it. But this alone does not explain the relative paucity of mothers and women in general represented in galleries and museums. You might be surprised to learn that more women than men graduate from art schools today. We hope you will also be excited to learn that many obstacles facing female-identifying artists can be remedied. \nWhile the asymmetry between parenthood and the world of work is an issue for parents in any profession\, the art world – with its informal\, often temporary forms of relations – can be a particularly precarious environment in which to make one’s living. Artists rarely receive contracts of employment nor benefits such as maternity leave\, pay rises and pensions. Opportunities such as exhibitions and artist residencies come rarely\, and even once in a lifetime. Does one have to choose between creativity and family? \n— Jeffrey Boloten and Juliet Hacking\, Forward to How Not to Exclude Artist Mothers (and other parents) \nDespite societal demands\, stigmas\, and limitations that restrict a mother’s creative expression in the public realm\, mothers nevertheless exercise their creative faculties constantly. Just as creating a compelling work of art starts with seeing without judgment what others have overlooked and channeling one’s creative response into form\, nurturing a child requires seeing the child as he/she/they are and responding authentically and imaginatively. Both are intuitive processes of receiving and giving. Both are creative exercises of unconditional love. \n“…Motherhood and artistic practice have to be mutually enriching…. …Little does society know that these things actually can work really well together.” — Catherine Rickets\, from Artist/Mother Podcast: 160: The World Needs Art that Only Mothers Can Make with Catherine Ricketts\, Nov 4\, 2024 \nWe aim to bring greater visibility to their inspiring art and life-making work\, as well as to the creative and life-affirming contributions of mothers who are not professional artists. The exhibition will next be on view at Gallery Maronie in Kyoto\, Japan\, during Kyotographie from April 13 to May 10\, 2026\, and then at Le Deco Gallery in Tokyo\, Japan from May 18 – 24\, 2026. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nStuck by Daniela Kostova \nDaniela Kostova is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans photography\, installation\, video\, and performance. She explores themes of geography\, cultural identity\, and the complexities of translation and communication across borders. Her projects have been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Queens Museum of Art\, Kunsthalle Wien\, Centre d’Art Contemporain (Geneva)\, and Kunsthalle Fridericianum (Kassel)\, among others. In 2019\, she created one of Europe’s largest public art installations\, Future Dreaming\, covering Vienna’s Ringturm building. \nKostova has received numerous awards and fellowships\, including the Unlimited Award for Contemporary Bulgarian Art and residencies at A.I.R. Gallery (NYC)\, ZK/U Berlin\, and ArtsLink at the Cleveland Institute of Art. She has also contributed as a curator\, notably leading the BioArt Initiative at RPI\, where she taught digital imaging. Her work has been featured in major publications such as The New York Times\, Brooklyn Rail\, and Art in America. Now based in New York City\, she has served as Director of Curatorial Projects at Radiator Gallery\, Artist Mentor at NYFA’s Immigrant Artist Program and Board Member of CEC Artslink. \nhttps://danielakostova.com \nPhoto by Aline Müller \nPhotographer Aline Müller\, born in the Brazilian Amazon and now working between Rio and New York\, brings an elemental understanding of nature’s power to her intimate portraits of women. In her series curated for Life is Art Motherhood is Art\, she captures mothers at different stages of their journey through evocative\, almost surreal photographs that reveal the mystical within the everyday of a mother. \nMüller’s mothers emerge water-soaked from rivers\, beaches\, and showers with goddess-like splendor. They inhabit moments of joyous presence captured in delicate close-ups that refuse to hide or pose\, but rather document dreamlike moments of maternal reality. \nWith her generous and almost metaphysical gaze\, Aline has the uncanny ability to depict what photography often editorializes out of women’s lives: fluids\, curves\, small gestures\, and all that seems small and menial in life\, yet speaks volumes to the internal world of women. \nhttps://www.alinemuller.com \n  \n  \nPhoto by Alex Nguyễn \nQuỳnh “Alex” Nguyễn is a writer\, photographer\, and independent cultural practitioner based in Central Vietnam. Her interdisciplinary approach\, spanning journalism\, interviews\, photography\, artistic programs\, and nurturing of daily life itself\, stems from a desire to explore alternative narratives rather than accepting the mainstream\, deemed self-evident. She believes that the interpretations we hear profoundly shape our beliefs and responses to life’s issues. Furthermore\, the challenges faced by modern society are inherently interconnected as consequences of the many problems layered atop one another. Through flexible artistic forms\, she seeks to expand the possibilities of alternative narratives\, guiding those around her and her readers to explore new dimensions of contemporary issues. \nhttps://alexnguyen.contently.com \n\n  \n  \n\nStudio Interruptions by Katie Heller Saltoun \nKatie Heller Saltoun is a visual artist based in DUMBO\, Brooklyn\, New York. Her work primarily utilizes oil paint\, ink\, photographic collages\, and woodcut printing to explore the multifaceted experiences of motherhood and caregiving. Saltoun captures the humor\, frustration\, monotony\, and profound love inherent in caregiving\, drawing inspiration from her own life and the diverse narratives of mothers and caretakers she encounters. Her compositions often depict dynamic scenes of energy and chaos\, as well as repetitive imagery such as refrigerator shelves\, spice racks\, and rows of snacks\, reflecting the repetitive yet vital tasks of domestic life. \nSaltoun holds a BFA from the University of Michigan\, an MA from Columbia University\, and an MFA from Pratt Institute. Her recent exhibition\, “Bifocal: Motherhood and Creativity\,” was held at the Elza Kayal Gallery in Tribeca\, New York. This multidisciplinary show explored the intricate interplay between creativity and motherhood\, highlighting the often-overlooked experiences of artists who navigate both roles. Additionally\, her work was featured in The American Scholar magazine in an article titled “Tenderness and Grit.” \nSaltoun continues to create and exhibit work that resonates with audiences\, offering a profound and authentic portrayal of the complexities inherent in caregiving and domestic life. For more information and to view her portfolio\, please visit her website at www.katiehellersaltoun.com. \nhttps://www.katiehellersaltoun.com/ \nPhoto by Satomi Shirai \nSatomi Shirai playfully explores themes of cultural identity\, feminism\, motherhood\, and the evolving meaning of home\, both in the context of migration and as a universal psycho-spiritual experience. Her photographs\, often set in domestic spaces\, reveal the quiet tensions between order and chaos\, belonging and estrangement\, the visible and the unseen. \nShirai’s work has been exhibited widely\, including at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography\, the National Portrait Gallery in London\, and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington\, D.C. Her photographs are held in the collections of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and the Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (K’MoPA). \nAfter earning a Full-Time Certificate from the International Center of Photography in 2007 and an MFA from Hunter College (CUNY) in 2010\, Shirai lived and worked in New York City for over a decade. In 2015\, she returned to Japan to raise her daughter and now lives and works in Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. Though she has exhibited less frequently since her return\, she continues to create new work\, often in collaboration with her daughter. \nhttps://satomishirai.com

SUMMARY:LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART:  Mother Artist Salon with THIS IS A MOVEMENT
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on July 23\, 2025\, from 7 to 8:30 pm for an Artist Salon with THIS IS A MOVEMENT (TIAM) featuring live music by mother artists Goussy Celestin and Amma Whatt\, and conversation with the artists and Niama Safia Sandy\, co-founder of TIAM. TIAM is an initiative launched in 2022 seeking to create a more equitable music industry through an intersectional Black feminist lens\, centered upon non-hierarchical\, collaborative and imaginative modes of creation and organization. \n This event is one of a series of Mother Artist Salons being held in conjunction with the exhibition LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART. Check the exhibition announcement or CRS calendar for details. \nThe event will take place at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York. Admission is free and no RSVP is required. Families with children are welcome! \nABOUT THE MISSION OF THIS IS A MOVEMENT \n THIS IS A MOVEMENT (TIAM) was conceived in 2021 by a set of musicians\, scholars\, and leaders who often crossed paths and noticed a fragmentation in the field. The #MeToo movement had activated conversations and actions around gender justice\, but the efforts were more disparate – artists were organizing\, gathering\, and taking action on the bandstand\, educators were creating curriculum and writings within the academic space\, and producers and presenters were raising standards and focusing on diversity. TIAM was launched with the hope that it could be a centralized place for this community to discuss different perspectives\, share resources\, and advance conversations around equitable representation. The name – This Is A Movement – was chosen to signal that a larger movement is happening in the field and to hold the organizers accountable to the mentality and long-term commitment that movement-building requires. \nThis Is A Movement asks what transformation looks like\, with the goal of creating a robust community network that will work to cultivate a liberated music industry\, placing equity at the forefront. \nWomen\, those of underrepresented gender identities\, and their allies are claiming a space that challenges the status quo of the jazz and creative music scene. This movement is changing ways of thinking\, ways of working\, and ways of living while confronting structural inequities based on gender\, age\, race\, and culture. It is asking the essential question: What does a freer\, fairer\, and more representative music industry look like? To reimagine and remake our ecosystem\, we invite numerous organizations\, institutions\, and individuals\, bringing together artists\, activists\, organizers\, and creatives to share their experience\, their dreams\, and their plans. \nThis Is A Movement offers historical context\, academic data studies\, relevant dialogues\, and special guest speakers to an engaged and diverse audience of industry professionals\, educators\, students\, performers\, and the general public. This Is A Movement invites those leading change in the field\, as well as those for whom these conversations are difficult. It aims to create an incubator for new ideas that will bring about the future change we need in our cultural spaces. \nhttps://www.thisisamovement.com/ \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION \nLIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART is an exhibition of five artists who are mothers of different generations — Daniela Kostova (Bulgaria)\, Aline Müller (Brazil)\, Quynh “Alex” Nguyễn (Vietnam)\, Katie Heller Saltoun (USA)\, and Satomi Shirai (Japan).

SUMMARY:LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART:  Mother Artist Salon with Layale Chaker and Maeve Gilchrist
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on July 24\, 2025\, from 7 to 9 pm for an Artist Salon featuring live music and conversation with Layale Chaker (violin) and Maeve Gilchrist (harp)\, two artists who balance active tour schedules with the demands of caring for their young children. The event will take place at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York. Admission is free and no RSVP is required. Families with children are welcome! \nThe event is one of a series of Mother Artist Salons being held in conjunction with the exhibition LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART. Check the exhibition announcement or CRS calendar for details. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nChaker and Gilchrist come together in an exploration of the threads that stitch our inherited worlds—the whispers of old tales passed down by grandmothers\, the shadowed weight of mythologies\, superstitions\, and lullabies\, scattered across time and distance. \nDrawing from the musical vocabularies of their respective lineages—Celtic and Levantine—this new duo traces melodic and rhythmical contours shaped by centuries of oral memory. They search for the places where their stories overlap: fields of exile\, haunted lands\, and songs that carry coded truths. \nThis is not a reimagining of the past\, but an exploration of a shared present—an exploration of what flows through us unseen\, like smoke through veins. This suite of music invites the audience to step into a newly formed world\, rooted in the past but written for the present day—a brand new mythology. \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION \nLIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART is an exhibition of five artists who are mothers of different generations — Daniela Kostova (Bulgaria)\, Aline Müller (Brazil)\, Quynh “Alex” Nguyễn (Vietnam)\, Katie Heller Saltoun (USA)\, and Satomi Shirai (Japan). Curated by CRS co-founder Christopher Pelham\, the exhibition will be on view at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York from July 21 – 26\, 2025. \n“Being an artist is to experience a vigorous\, experimental life of the mind and of the senses. Parenthood is another enriching experience: primal\, haptic and life-affirming. Why are the two still seen as incompatible?” — Jeffrey Boloten and Juliet Hacking\, Forward to How Not to Exclude Artist Mothers (and other parents) \nThis exhibition highlights the inspiring works being created worldwide by mother artists and examines the multifaceted relationship between motherhood and art-making. Through their diverse photography and 2D works\, we invite you to consider the challenges that working mother artists face and reflect on motherhood and child-rearing as fundamentally creative acts\, inseparably intertwined with art-making\, deserving of our loving attention\, respect\, and support.

Her complex sound universe\, described by NPR as “beguiling” with “bright and beautiful strands… gorgeous\, wine-dark swirls\,” lies at the intersection of classical contemporary music\, jazz\, Arabic music\, and improvisation. Her practice is committed to art as both sanctuary and crossroads—a place where ancestral narratives meet contemporary voices in a continuous reimagination of the world we inherit\, live in\, and bequeath. A 2020-2022 Jerome Hill Fellow\, Chaker is also the recipient of the 2022 Opera America Discovery 2022 Award\, among many other accolades. \nIn 2024\, her work Qarar/Jawab premiered at the Venice Biennale\, and Dawning\, a double concerto\, premiered with the New York Philharmonic. Her debut chamber opera\, Ruinous Gods\, premiered at the 2024 Spoleto Festival before its European debut at Wuppertal Opera. She also recently released a double portrait album on In a Circle Records\, featuring both her classical works and chamber jazz quintet\, Sarafand. \n“Haunting yet quietly rigorous…” — The New York Times \nhttps://layalechaker.com \nMAEVE GILCHRIST\, harpist\, singer\, composer and producer \nEdinburgh-born harpist and composer Maeve Gilchrist has been credited as an innovator on her native instrument and taken the Celtic (lever) Harp to new levels of performance and visibility. Currently based in Kingston\, NY\, Maeve tours internationally as a solo artist and composer. She is a member of the Grammy-winning Silkroad ensemble and of Arooj Aftab’s Grammy-winning Vulture Prince Ensemble. She has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Yo-Yo Ma\, Frankie Gavin\, Esperanza Spalding\, Ambrose Akinmusire\, and Solas.  \nAs a composer\, Maeve straddles the worlds of folk and classical music with pieces that include two original concertos for symphony Orchestra and Celtic Harp\, along with various works for harp and string quartet that have been played by such acclaimed groups as the Scottish Chamber Orchestra\, the Virginia Symphony Orchestra\, and the Aizuri String Quartet. She is a regular visiting artist at Berklee College of Music and has had several instructional books published by Hal Leonard and 80 Days Publishing. Maeve has released a number of albums under her name and is a featured soloist on the Dreamworks blockbuster movie soundtrack\, “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.” Her most recent album\, “The Harpweaver\,” has garnered international acclaim\, including a five-star review from the Irish Times\, which described it as “buoyant\, sprightly and utterly beguiling….a snapshot of a musician at the top of her game.” Maeve is the Artistic Director of the Rockport Celtic Festival\, an innovative new festival focused on cross-curation and the outer fringes of Celtic music. \n“Both Fascinating and Absorbing in equal measure\, an Original Voice” — Scotsman \nhttps://www.maevegilchristmusic.com

SUMMARY:LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART: Closing Reception & Mother Artist Salon
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on July 26\, 2025\, from 3 – 5:30 pm (doors open 3 pm\, program starts 3:30 pm)  for the Closing Reception for the exhibition LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART. At the reception\, mother artists Sita Chay (violin) and Rema Hasumi (keyboards) will perform and join a conversation with the exhibition artists on the exhibition’s themes. The event will take place at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York. Admission is free and no RSVP is required. Families with children are welcome! \nFollowing the conversation\, Vietnamese mother artist and author / peacemaker / philanthropist Le Ly Hayslip will share her thoughts and weave them into a larger conversation about the lessons not learned from the American War in Vietnam — this year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the war as well as the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII — and the need to envision a society where the value of inspiration\, creation\, mutual care\, and unconditional love is recognized and integrated into every aspect of life\, without discrimination. \nThe event is the last of a series of Mother Artist Salons being held in conjunction with the exhibition LIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART. Check the exhibition announcement or CRS calendar for details. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n\nSITA CHAY is a violinist\, composer\, and performance artist who won a 2017 Latin Grammy Award for Best Mariachi Album\, as violinist of the Flor de Toloache. She is an awardee of New York Foundation for the Arts Women’s Fund\, NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship\, New Music USA’s Creator Development Fund\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Creative Engagement Grant\, and Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, and was invited for residencies at the Stone\, Joe’s Pub\, and the Cell Theatre for various projects she is envisioning. Her collaborators include Satoshi Takeishi\, Shoko Nagai\, Sidra Bell\, and Leo Genovese and with them she performed in numerous festivals such as Progressive Chamber Music Festival 2023\, Outfest 2024\, and Multicultural Music Festival 2024. \n\n\nHer most recent project\, “Multidimensionally Human\,” is an interdisciplinary series that she collaborates on with Dr. Nikolai Chapochnikov\, a neuroscientist and psychotherapist. Through this project\, she weaves the psychotherapy modality Internal Family Systems using narrative\, dance\, visual art\, and music as a performance artist. \n\n\nIn 2023\, she released a music narrative film “Ritual of Le Sac” which tells a story of a fish-like life of a baby swimming inside the womb. This project was inspired by her recent journey of becoming a mom and experiencing the kindness and gentle curiosity from various strangers on the street for carrying a life inside. She intended this film to reflect and rediscover the innate human capacity and desire to care and honor life. \n\n\nMs. Chay is the director and a founder of the Korean Shaman Music Ritual\, SaaWee\, which international critics have called as a “delicate powerhouse.” For SaaWee\, she has interwoven her theatrical experiences from Broadway shows\, folkloric spirituality from Korean shaman rituals\, and contemporary music flair from New York jazz scenes. SaaWee’s Return of Songbirds debuted at Lincoln Center as part of #Restartstage project in 2021 and was invited to Ars Electronica Festival 2021. SaaWee won the California Music Video Awards 2022 in Best World Music category. \n\nhttps://www.sitachay.com \nREMA HASUMI is a New York-based sound designer and improviser\, whose eclectic background spans classical\, jazz\, and experimental music. The foundation of her music is grounded in a wide range of pianistic expressions that are at times contemplative and at others assertive. Her recent work involves compositions and improvisations with analog synthesizers\, electronics\, and vocals. Hasumi’s music has been described as one that “is able to capture those elusive moments when silence becomes music and music becomes silence” (Jakob Baekgaard\, All About Jazz) and that “begins with a delicate piano rumination\, wandering\, searching\, finding a state of gentle deliberation that suddenly fades” (Dan McClenaghan\, All About Jazz). Her musical influences span across various musicians\, including Alice Coltrane\, Sun Ra\, Masabumi Kikuchi\, Paul Bley\, Terry Riley\, Arthur Russel\, and many more. \nHasumi’s “Mothers\,” a seven-track album dedicated to the collective experience of motherhood\, will be released digitally on July 1\, 2025. The music represents the journey of mothers striving to protect their creative paths while navigating the deep emotions that come with parenting and the process of redefining their identities. Each track explores a different emotional landscape\, yet all share excerpts of piano improvisation from a single recording session\, which serves as an undercurrent throughout the album. This undercurrent reflects the ongoing\, profound\, and dynamic experience of motherhood. The album features a series of collaged soundscapes\, consisting of synthesizers\, piano\, and vocals performed by Hasumi\, with contributions from Austin White on electric bass and synthesizers on three tracks. Each track’s sound elements are improvised separately and then combined using a collage approach rather than traditional composition. The final mix is designed to offer a three-dimensional\, holistic\, and stimulating listening experience. The album will be available for digital download and streaming\, with a beautiful cover photograph by Aline Müller. Her works\, including the album cover photo\, are part of the Life Is Art Is Motherhood Is Art exhibition. The development of “Mothers” was made possible\, in part\, by a grant provided by CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). \nhttps://rema-hasumi.com/ \nLE LY HAYSLIP is an internationally known Vietnamese-American author\, philanthropist\, peace activist\, speaker\, and mother. She grew up in Ky La (now known as Xa Hoa Quy)\, Vietnam during the American-Vietnam War. She wrote two best-selling memoirs—When Heaven and Earth Changed Places and Child of War\, Woman of Peace\, based on her painful and ultimately triumphant journey from a traumatizing childhood in war-ravaged Vietnam to her new life in America. Having grown up in Central Vietnam as a woman\, Le Ly shares a perspective that is unique when it comes to the Vietnam War. She received raving reviews for both books\, including from The New York Times and The Washington Post. When Heaven and Earth Changed Places was included in the 1990 edition of Reader’s Digest’s Today’s Best Nonfiction. Her memoirs\, having been published in 17 different languages throughout the world\, are now used in several universities as course material to study women in history\, the American/Vietnam War\, and other topics. In 1993\, the books were adapted into the film “Heaven & Earth\,” directed by the award-winning director Oliver Stone and starring Hiep Thi Le and Tommy Lee Jones. \nLe Ly’s life as a humanitarian began after she arrived in the US in 1970 and became a US citizen\, but she returned to her native Vietnam in 1986. Her shock from the devastation\, poverty\, and illness left by the war became the impetus for her two philanthropic organizations\, East Meets West Foundation and Global Village Foundation. Both organizations dedicate their efforts to humanitarian relief\, education\, and development to help rebuild Vietnam through providing basic needs (shelter\, clean water\, medical facilities\, education)\, establishing revolving loan programs\, and finding homes for several hundred orphaned children. Hayslip continues to lead groups and delegations in cultural and anthropological studies in her home village. \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION \nLIFE IS ART IS MOTHERHOOD IS ART is an exhibition of five artists who are mothers of different generations — Daniela Kostova (Bulgaria)\, Aline Müller (Brazil)\, Quynh “Alex” Nguyễn (Vietnam)\, Katie Heller Saltoun (USA)\, and Satomi Shirai (Japan). Curated by CRS co-founder Christopher Pelham\, the exhibition will be on view at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York from July 21 – 26\, 2025. \n“Being an artist is to experience a vigorous\, experimental life of the mind and of the senses.

SUMMARY:Guided Meditation with Yasuko Kasaki in English (on Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:from 6:30 – 7 pm\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. 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.
