SUMMARY:Exhibition —  The Art of A Good Life in Hell by Ai Tatebayashi
DESCRIPTION:CRS announces Light in Darkness\, an exhibition of original art (watercolor\, ink\, gouache\, and graphite on paper) from the illustrated book A Good Life in Hell by Ai Tatebayashi. A Good Life in Hell is an illustrated book that tells the life stories of Sumiteru Taniguchi\, a Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor (hibakusha in Japanese)\, and his wife Eiko. Their shared history offers both a stark look at the horrific legacy of nuclear weapons\, as well as a tale of inspiration for all those facing challenges as they pursue meaning and happiness in their own lives. \nThe exhibition will be on view from August 4 – October 4\, 2016. An Opening Reception with the artist with live reading of the book will be held on Saturday\, August 13\, 2016 from 4 – 6 pm. \nA Good Life in Hell contains important lessons about the past\, but it is even more about living in the present. Exploring daily rituals in the Taniguchi home as Sumiteru and Eiko enter their 80s\, a reader must reflect on how today’s decisions can affect our collective and personal futures—for better or for worse. \nARTIST AND INSPIRATION \nAi Tatebayashi\, the artist and author of A Good Life in Hell\, first learned about Sumiteru Taniguchi from a Japanese TV show. She quickly realized that most people\, especially younger Japanese adults like her\, knew nothing of the everyday suffering of atomic bomb survivors. \nSumiteru’s words drove her to initiate this project: \n“I am not afraid of death. But I am afraid of oblivion. Oblivion of the fear of the atomic bomb.” \nAi met with Sumiteru Taniguchi and his wife Eiko several times\, both in New York and in Nagasaki. She recorded stories of their past and observed their daily life. \nCreating striking original illustrations—some luminous and beautiful\, others dark and bleak—Ai depicted scenes inspired by the couple’s long journey together with richness and depth. She enlisted Justin Neely as co-writer to collaborate on story development and research\, as well as to capture her ideas and her voice in written English with nuance and precision. \nA Good Life in Hell is currently available for purchase online at www.agoodlifeinhell.com\, Lulu.com\, and Amazon.com. A Japanese translation published in July 2016 as「生きているかぎり語り続ける」by Shufunotomo Co. (www.shufunotomo.co.jp) is currently available only in Japan. \nABOUT AI TATEBAYASHI  \nI am from the city called Yokohama\, Japan. Since Yokohama developed as a major seaport\, Western style quickly spread and was embraced by Japanese culture. I grew up influenced by the modern western environment\, enjoying looking at Norman Rockwell’s posters\, illustrated American pin up girls\, and so on\, which stimulated my interests in American culture. After working at an advertising agency in Japan\, I came to New York City for an intensive study of illustration. At the School of Visual Arts\, I developed my linear drawing style and sense of color. People’s feelings or characters are important for my work. I love observing people and drawing them with my unique view and sense of humor. In Japan\, my major  was French literature in Rikkyo university. I still love to read. This reading leads me to continue to explore different cultures and worlds. In turn\, this helps me to introduce the views of others through my illustration. — Ai\nhttp://www.miniai.com/ \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chakra Balancing Meditation
DESCRIPTION:As a group\, we tone the sacred sounds of each chakra 7 times\, creating an energetic flow that loosens and removes blockages and releases negative energy stored within. The sound of the toning creates a vibrational reaction within the body\, which causes stillness and relaxation. We begin with a breathing exercise\, followed by toning\, and ending with an open circle to share the experience and/or ask questions. This is a meditation\, and a self-healing practice. Chakra balancing meditation is excellent for the beginner and the experienced.  \n We all have seven main chakras that sit along the center of the spinal column. The body is a vehicle of consciousness\, and the chakras are where consciousness and matter (the physical body) meet. Together the seven chakras form a profound formula for wholeness that integrates mind\, body and spirit. Making sure they are balanced is essential to our daily and long term lives. They house the consciousness around our survival and safety\, emotions\, sexulaity\, creativity\, self-esteem\, imagination\, our knowingness\, our ability to love and be loved. Emotions such as fear\, stress\, shame\, guilt\, grief\, lies and the ego all block the chakras creating an imbalanced system. Having an imbalanced chakra system can result in physical symptoms in their corresponding body parts and organs.  \nRSVP by email \n\nJoshua Dorfman is a metaphysical teacher and healer who uses his clairvoyant and empathic abilities to support others looking for more balance and deep spiritual healing. Born extrasensory\, he always had a gift enabling him to know things beyond the physical\, like feeling the energy of a person\, or situation\, knowing people’s true intentions and when something bad was going to happen. As he grew\, he came across various mentors who passed onto him\, great spiritual wisdom. For the last thirteen years\, Joshua has been self taught\, guided by an “inner voice” toward books and information around the subject of energy healing\, psychic ability and the power of sound\, to name a few.

SUMMARY:Overcoming our Spiritual Malady:  A Ten Session Seminar on the philosophy of Spiritual Disease with Jim Roi
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual dis-ease is not a concept\, nor is it a medical condition; it is not fundamentally cognitive or behavioral\, though it rules both our thinking and our behavior. Spiritual dis-ease is not something wrong with us. It wants to be an enhancement of our possibilities for being\, to give us new perspectives on who we are\, who we can be and how we work. \n*There is a suggested $20 contribution per seminar. Consistent attendance and participation is strongly encouraged. \nNote: no class on Sept 30 \nJim Roi is a philosopher and a healer specializing in the treatment of spiritual dis-ease. His stand that addiction provides a guiding metaphor for our time\, and that this is good news\, gives a unique and compelling focus to his work. His gift is to share the universal healing process in a way that is profound\, and effective.  His vision of spiritual recovery is compassionate\, exciting and contagious. \nJim has been a visible figure in the New York city self help\, transformation and recovery community since the early nineteen eighties when he was a popular seminar leader with EST: An Educational Organization. \nSince entering his own recovery from addiction in 1985 Jim has used his background of philosophy and transformation to articulate and share an enriched version of what the twelve-step approach can make possible. He is unique in his application of post-modern philosophy and deconstructive theory to the realm of addiction. He is well known for successfully applying the twelve-step model to financial issues\, especially compulsive under-earning.

Born with the ability to see deeply\, she has been described as having a “penetrating gaze.” For those who are ready to awaken\, she will help you see right through yourself.

The title is “The Miracle of the Gifted Quarter – Life’s Truth revealed”\, which contains many scenes in which Katsuko Yamamoto\, a teacher at a special-needs school\, communicates with students. \nWithin two years after the completion of the film\, it spread abroad with English subtitles. And a hundred and twenty thousands people watched it by the end of 2011. It was invited to the Japan Film Festival in Los Angeles and received a standing ovation at a screening in Columbia University\, which is the summit of video technique. \nShe completed the second film “The Miracle of the Colored Light” in 2008\, and also completed the third film “A Great Blessing” in 2011. In the same year she also appeared in the Murakami Kazuo film “Switch” by Suzuki Naoki. \nOn National Human Rights Day in 2013\, “The Miracle of the Gifted Quarter” was shown at the headquarters of the United Nations in New York. In total\, the film has been played at 1\,800 places in 18 different countries and has reached 180\,000 viewers. \nShe has also released her own books The Miracle of the Gifted Quarter\, Life’s Truth on Sunmark Publication and has also collaborated with A children’s book author Nobumi on a picture book Oheso No Saki and Giving Creates More? on Shichida Education Publication.
