SUMMARY:Exhibition — "Home and Home: New York in My Life" — Photographs by Satomi Shirai
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) announces “Home and Home: New York in My Life\,” an exhibition of photographs by Satomi Shirai. These seven works reveal\, in boldly playful as well as subtle ways\, a newly arrived immigrant’s strategies to create a sense of home and to discover what those strategies are. From the outset\, CRS has sought to provide a creative and spiritual home to artists and seekers from all over the world\, and we believe that this exhibition speaks directly to our mission and the experience of so many members of our community. \nThe exhibition will open on October 19\, 2015 and be on display through November 28\, 2015. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Friday\, October 23\, 2015 from 7:30 – 9:30 pm. \nWhile the photographs in this exhibition look like documentary-style records of the often messy and alien life that an immigrant lives prior to acquiring furnishings and fully settling in (does an immigrant ever fully settle in?)\, the photographs are actually meticulously staged with a highly controlled mastery of mis-en-scene and craft. This creates a tension between order and chaos\, reality and artifice\, into which the artist places herself and her own child and friends as models\, challenging our initial impulse to label the life depicted as disordered. The more we look\, the more we recognize objects\, symbols\, behaviors\, relationships that give meaning and context to the home depicted. We recognize that we carry home within us and carry on a never-ending process of using our minds in diverse and complex ways to anchor ourselves and project our sense of home into our habitat\, making it our own even in the midst of constant change. \nAbout Satomi Shirai \nSatomi Shirai is originally from Tokyo\, and currently lives and works in New York. She completed the full-time Certificate Program at International Center of Photography in 2007\, and received her MFA from CUNY Hunter College in 2010. Her works have been exhibited nationally and internationally including at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography\, National Portrait Gallery in London\, and Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. Her photographs are in the collection of Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and Kiyosato Museum of Photographic art. \nhttp://www.satomishirai.com \nArtist Statement \nWalls with windows and doors form the house\,\nbut the empty space within it is the essence of the house.\n— from The Uses of Not\, Lao Tse \nIn this body of work\, Home and Home: New York in My Life\, I explore what constitutes the concept of home\, as an immigrant who chose to live in New York. Tangibility versus intangibility are brought up\, and added to the discussion. How do we assess or assume home? \nMy relocation to New York is not about overcoming a culture that is distinct\, but encountering and understanding cultural disparity and similarity. Living in NYC highlights the intangible aspects of cultures today that include language\, myth\, mind-sets\, daily customs\, social class issues\, and identity. The diverse sense of femininity provides me other vantage point to examine the collective consciousness in the cities. \nI am bringing up positions of custom\, holiday\, architecture\, dress\, food\, location\, and home design as a means to explore how culture is being inter-mixed or is remaining unchanged at a microcosmic level\, and how national identity and sensibility are maintained or relinquished through living in a cross-cultural city life. The more understanding of cultural contrasts I have\, the more I feel closer to the U.S\, and so my space in New York is psychologically being expanded. \nA new point of view has been added to my life and work. I gave birth to my baby in New York and became a mother. This has enormously shifted my state of mind and lifestyle. The project or new chapter will be continued with the unknown transitions. \n

SUMMARY:Beginners Meditation
DESCRIPTION:We will meet at CRS in one of the smaller\, cozier rooms for a guided meditation. Meditations include clearings of past traumas and emotional debrees. My focus is to help the group release anything that is holding them back whether that is spiritual\, physical or mental through breathing techniques and visualizations. \nThis is a good chance for us busy New Yorkers to get to know others who are on a spiritual journey. Come join us at this new location. \n$10 suggested

SUMMARY:RESENTMENT INTO GRACE:  A Spiritually Healing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“Resentment is the narcotic we cannot help desiring to deaden pain of any kind.”                             Nietzsche \n“Pain is the touchstone of all spiritual growth.”                           Bill Wilson \n “Resentment is the source of all forms of spiritual disease.”  Bill Wilson  \n“When the spiritual malady is overcome\, then we straighten out mentally and physically.”                                                                                                   Bill Wilson \nSpiritual dis-ease is a hydra! It has many necks—but it has only one source: resentment! It is easy to see\, and to feel that others are resentful. It is unmistakable that resentment is tearing the world apart. It is not so easy to recognize or accept that we\, too\, are in the labyrinth of resentment—that we are somehow essentially resentful! Our resentfulness conceals itself from us by being internally self-justifying and externally self-fulfilling.  When it comes to resentment we are always deadeningly right\, and we can always prove it. \nWithin the issue of resentment lives the magical power to renew and rejuvenate our lives on every level: individual\, relationship\, family\, community\, global\, cosmic.  On all levels our health and our disease are related as transformations of each other.  Addiction is not an either/or proposition.  Love and hate do not oppose each other\, they are complements.  They arise together from the same source\, as do poverty and wealth\, fat and thin\, loneliness and communion.  As Nietzsche put it\, ‘Health is the amount of disease we can transform.’ \nI invite you to invest a day with me\, examining the essential nature of Addiction as an opportunity.  I promise you a new freeing outlook that will give you eyes and ears for the concealed but plentiful possibilities of transformation hidden in the everyday oppositions of our lives.   I invite you to participate in the creation of a bold new\, fearless vision of addiction and recovery that\, when shared\, has the power to inspire relationships that work; rich relationships that are big enough to reveal and include the complementary nature of the opposites.  It is time for us to own the fullness of our spiritual nature above and beyond the physical and mental manifestations. \nWe addicts still do not dare to fully know who we are\, nor do we appreciate the depth of what we are dealing with.  We minimize ourselves and lose power.  We are still fearfully resisting the immense energy that we need to transform our lives\, the immense energy that is released in the process of including our opposites.  Our (childish) fear of being thought ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’ drives us to justify our behaviors and blame others.  Our justifications (reasons/explanations) blind us to the freedom that unites these forces.  Our blindness freezes us into the cold\, unfeeling way of being called ‘resentment.’  In the moment we take full responsibility for our ability to hate we will be returned to our freedom to love.  The people we hate are the people we love\, the hate and the love are always in us beneath and beyond and before opposition.  Grace is the amount of resentment we can transform. \nCost: $60. \nTo Register Click here or Call: (212) 529-0636 or email jimroi@aol.com \nJim Roi is a philosopher and healer. His vision of health is compassionate\, exciting and contagious.
