SUMMARY:Exhibition:  CODE — a drawing like poetry like drawing
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents CODE — a drawing like poetry like drawing\, an exhibition of small works on paper by visual artist and poet Teo Yamamoto. The exhibition will open Saturday\, June 9\, 2018 and will remain on view through July 5\, 2018. An Opening Reception with poetry reading by the artist will be held on June 9 from 6 – 8 pm. \nThe types and combinations of ink and paper are a secret\, an alchemical code discovered through much labor and treasured by the artist for its synergistic luminescence. The subjects\, too\, suggest codes\, celestial constellations flickering incompletely into view\, half-decoded ideograms tuned in from some scrambled frequency broadcast perhaps by nature itself\, like the mysterious photons emitted by all DNA. Look closer and you’ll find that the suggested figures and structures themselves are built up out of smaller code-like patterns of similar shapes. Sometimes we sense a pattern without recognizing it. Sometimes one person’s pattern is another’s noise. What’s organic at one level may appear mechanistic up close. In Yamamoto’s work\, the familiar visual distinctions between the organic and inorganic\, and between the patterned and the chaotic break down. \nArtist Statement \nI’m a poet as well as a visual artist. Since I was little\, I began drawing pictures instinctively\, just as naturally as talking to myself. \nI am fascinated with “dots’ and the way dots connect to each other to become a “line.” Lines attract me even more. I am always impressed that the world\, as I see it\, is made up of lines. These lines\, straight or curved\, intersect\, merge and mix\, creating new forms\, morphing into geometric shaped objects. \nIn my mind’s eye these objects change their scale\, their distance and speed\, floating\, hovering\, then pass by\, disappear\, pop and freeze. They hold codes for me to decipher. \nAnimals\, plants\, stones\, clouds\, my love of the natural world all motivate me to make art. So\, too\, my awe of man-made marvels and creations like skyscrapers\, brick buildings\, stone churches\, common houses\, boats and roads inspire me immeasurably. \nI have been writing poems for a long time and started creating visual poetry in 2007. Through accumulated experience\, I discovered how to draw pictures using the same techniques and processes for writing poetry. I shift my focus inward to my mind\, and as I do\, objects become simplified; their meanings dissolve and float in space. Then\, slowly\, the freely structured poetic world is revealed. \nIn pockets\, I believe everyone holds a key that can open them to both see and feel my art. I wish that when people look at my drawings they can also enjoy a poetic experience. \nAbout Teo Yamamoto \nTeo Yamamoto was born in Japan and has been living in New York City since 1988. She has been producing and publishing a variety of art and has been involved as visual artist\, designer\, poet and writer with many projects based in New York\, Tokyo\, and Europe. \n“CODE – a drawing like poetry like drawing” is an on-going series that Yamamoto began creating in 2007 and exhibiting in 2011 and continues to the present. As the title suggests\, Yamamoto focuses on the secret of drawing pictures as if writing poetry. Exhibitions of the CODE series have been held in New York\, Paris and Tokyo. Yamamoto’s works of visual poetry and objet d’art have also been shown in various group shows. \nAs a poet\, Yamamoto has published several books of poetry\, including her bilingual Japanese and English collections An Ordinary Tomorrow and Funny Tail\, which also feature her exquisite drawings. She performs her readings with live music collaborations. \nTwo of her earlier books of poems\, Running God and Blue Elf Weed\, were published in Japan. She also produced a series of chapbooks\, including  CODE\, which was issued in conjunction with her first exhibition at CRS in 2011. The series of her visual poetry called “Breath” was published in the poetry magazine Gui. \nhttp://teoyamamoto.com/

SUMMARY:Kabbalah Intro Lecture: What’s the Meaning of Life?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fascinating free lecture about the meaning of life\, the forces in the system that control our nature and our role in this system. \nLearn from authentic Kabbalistic sources and how to apply the principles of Kabbalah to everyday situations.  Meet like minded people in a stress-free environment and take the first step on your spiritual path. \nIn this lecture we will touch on the following topics. \nWho are you\, where did you come from\, where are you headed?\nWhy do people suffer? Is there a purpose to suffering?\nWhy you don’t need to suppress or feel ashamed of your desires.\nThe formula for attaining the deepest form of independence.\nHow to discover love in every situation.\nCreation & evolution explained.\nWe offer a 10 week campus class that will delve deeper into these mind-blowing topics and more… \nPresenters \nVLAD SHAMAILOV\nNEW YORK \nVlad has been on a quest for meaning of life since early childhood. Having tried numerous methods and beliefs promising inner fulfillment\, he stumbled upon the wisdom of Kabbalah at the age of 21. “All of a sudden I realized that two decades of wandering in the fog have not been spent in vain\,” he recalls. “Life itself has led me by the hand into a place of truth\, to finally make sense of my existence.” Since 2010 Vlad has been teaching Kabbalah in two languages in both a physical and a virtual setting. \nThe mission of KabU\, a brand of Bnei Baruch America Inc.\, is to teach the wisdom of Kabbalah and to share it with the entire world. By providing free courses for seekers of positive personal development and social improvement\, we aim to provide people with wisdom and inspiration for developing a deeper understanding of themselves\, nature\, and the world\, as well as new insight into the common source of life’s problems.

In Yamamoto’s work\, the familiar visual distinctions between the organic and inorganic\, and between the patterned and the chaotic break down. \nArtist Statement \nI’m a poet as well as a visual artist. Since I was little\, I began drawing pictures instinctively\, just as naturally as talking to myself. \nI am fascinated with “dots’ and the way dots connect to each other to become a “line.” Lines attract me even more. I am always impressed that the world\, as I see it\, is made up of lines. These lines\, straight or curved\, intersect\, merge and mix\, creating new forms\, morphing into geometric shaped objects. \nIn my mind’s eye these objects change their scale\, their distance and speed\, floating\, hovering\, then pass by\, disappear\, pop and freeze. They hold codes for me to decipher. \nAnimals\, plants\, stones\, clouds\, my love of the natural world all motivate me to make art. So\, too\, my awe of man-made marvels and creations like skyscrapers\, brick buildings\, stone churches\, common houses\, boats and roads inspire me immeasurably. \nI have been writing poems for a long time and started creating visual poetry in 2007. Through accumulated experience\, I discovered how to draw pictures using the same techniques and processes for writing poetry. I shift my focus inward to my mind\, and as I do\, objects become simplified; their meanings dissolve and float in space. Then\, slowly\, the freely structured poetic world is revealed. \nIn pockets\, I believe everyone holds a key that can open them to both see and feel my art. I wish that when people look at my drawings they can also enjoy a poetic experience. \nAbout Teo Yamamoto \nTeo Yamamoto was born in Japan and has been living in New York City since 1988. She has been producing and publishing a variety of art and has been involved as visual artist\, designer\, poet and writer with many projects based in New York\, Tokyo\, and Europe. \n“CODE – a drawing like poetry like drawing” is an on-going series that Yamamoto began creating in 2007 and exhibiting in 2011 and continues to the present. As the title suggests\, Yamamoto focuses on the secret of drawing pictures as if writing poetry. Exhibitions of the CODE series have been held in New York\, Paris and Tokyo. Yamamoto’s works of visual poetry and objet d’art have also been shown in various group shows. \nAs a poet\, Yamamoto has published several books of poetry\, including her bilingual Japanese and English collections An Ordinary Tomorrow and Funny Tail\, which also feature her exquisite drawings. She performs her readings with live music collaborations. \nTwo of her earlier books of poems\, Running God and Blue Elf Weed\, were published in Japan. She also produced a series of chapbooks\, including  CODE\, which was issued in conjunction with her first exhibition at CRS in 2011. The series of her visual poetry called “Breath” was published in the poetry magazine Gui. \nhttp://teoyamamoto.com/

SUMMARY:Mapping the Body:  Recognizing Successes & Principles in the Application of Fascial Movement
DESCRIPTION:A 4 day workshop for yoga\, pilates\, and movement teachers. \nWhen we approach a yoga class\, we bring our bodies and the stories we have accumulated during this life. We carry injuries\, both physical and emotional. They have changed the postural and structural alignments that exist between the bones\, muscles\, fascia\, nerves and organs. \nIn class we ask students to move their body according to predetermined sequences and adhere to shapes according to poses. How do the patterns that live in a particular body fit into shapes of those poses? How does an individuals particular somatic history fit a predetermined design? Are our students particular needs getting addressed as we guide them through these movements and poses? Do their personal histories prevent them from accessing our offering? \nHow can we guide students to recognize\, feel and change their specific relationships? Can we develop a language and understanding around what they bring and what they need? Are we interested in fixing what is wrong with them? Or are we interested in recognizing what is already successful in a persons structure and build upon that which is already understood. These are a few of the difficult questions that we will explore in this training. \nIn this 4 day course teachers will come away with the following tools: \n\nSeeing successes in their students bodies\nRecognizing structural patterns that are not serving your students\nTranslating bone alignment to soft tissue needs\nLanguage and techniques to make change to soft tissues\nStrategies and techniques for growing internal awareness\nPractical application of fascial movement in classroom setting\n\nCost: $595 before May 16th / $750 thereafter \nPlease note\, attendance will be by application only as space is limited in order to preserve the intentionally intimate nature of this training.

SUMMARY:CRS Summer Solstice Healing Circle:  Prayer\, Sound Meditation + Whirling
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Summer Solstice Healing Circle led by Sufi Dance Instructor Lale Sayoko and CRS co-founders Yasuko Kasaki & Christopher Pelham with crystal singing bowl meditation by Miyoko Satoh. We gather to let go of our small selves and remember our divinity within. Through meditation\, prayer\, drumming\, singing\, and the whirling dance of the sufis\, we join together in unity and experience our limitlessness. Our circles are held on the third Thursday of the month at CRS. \nWe also support the family of Sayoko’s five-year-old daughter\, Amara\, who is growing up with a brain tumor and all the challenges that presents. Each Thursday 9pm we join minds with Amara’s prayer circle of hundreds of people around the world. \nPlease feel free to bring your frame drum\, rattle\, flute\, whistle\, chimes\, singing bowl\, or other instrument. You don’t need to be experienced. Together\, we will learn to listen to one another\, play together\, and express ourselves and find Oneness of intention. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 on the day of the class. \nThrough whirling\, we learn to trust ourselves to go off balance\, to be dizzy\, to surrender control as we give ourselves over to prayer and connect with a greater power\, the still center within\, around which we turn\, that we may share our divine strength and bear witness to the divinity in others. \nIf you are quiet and in a state of prayer when you Turn\, offering everything of yourself to God\, then when your body is spinning\, there is a completely still point in the center… The heavens respond; and all the invisible kingdoms join in the dance. But the world does not understand. They think we Turn in order to go into some sort of trance. It is true that sometimes we do go into that state you call ecstasy\, but that is only when we know and experience at the same time. We do not Turn for ourselves. We turn around in the way we do so that the Light of God may descend upon the earth. As you act as a conduit in the Turn\, the light comes through the right hand\, and the left hand brings it into this world… We turn for God and for the world\, and it is the most beautiful thing you can imagine. — Mevlevi Shaikh Suleyman Hyatt Dede \nAbout Sufi Dance Instructor Lale Sayoko \nLale was one of the founding members of Japan’s famous Samanyolu professional bellydance group\, and has since developed her own solo career touring with UK’s Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers on a 44 city tour of the UK\, to Turkey’s Baba Zula\, to New York’s Bella Gaia multimedia Earth from Space journey show. Appearing in Japanese and American magazines and newspapers\, Lale aspires for dance to be a powerful communicator though traditional technique and spiritual embodiment. She has lately been studying Sufi dance with Rana Gorgani and in April 2018 Gorgani awarded her the International Sufi Dance Certification Of Cid UNESCO\, granting her authority to teach Gorgani’s method of Sufi dance training.\nhttp://www.lalesayoko.com

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  CODE — a drawing like poetry like drawing
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents CODE — a drawing like poetry like drawing\, an exhibition of small works on paper by visual artist and poet Teo Yamamoto. The exhibition will open Saturday\, June 9\, 2018 and will remain on view through July 5\, 2018. An Opening Reception with poetry reading by the artist will be held on June 9 from 6 – 8 pm. \nThe types and combinations of ink and paper are a secret\, an alchemical code discovered through much labor and treasured by the artist for its synergistic luminescence. The subjects\, too\, suggest codes\, celestial constellations flickering incompletely into view\, half-decoded ideograms tuned in from some scrambled frequency broadcast perhaps by nature itself\, like the mysterious photons emitted by all DNA. Look closer and you’ll find that the suggested figures and structures themselves are built up out of smaller code-like patterns of similar shapes. Sometimes we sense a pattern without recognizing it. Sometimes one person’s pattern is another’s noise. What’s organic at one level may appear mechanistic up close. In Yamamoto’s work\, the familiar visual distinctions between the organic and inorganic\, and between the patterned and the chaotic break down. \nArtist Statement \nI’m a poet as well as a visual artist. Since I was little\, I began drawing pictures instinctively\, just as naturally as talking to myself. \nI am fascinated with “dots’ and the way dots connect to each other to become a “line.” Lines attract me even more. I am always impressed that the world\, as I see it\, is made up of lines. These lines\, straight or curved\, intersect\, merge and mix\, creating new forms\, morphing into geometric shaped objects. \nIn my mind’s eye these objects change their scale\, their distance and speed\, floating\, hovering\, then pass by\, disappear\, pop and freeze. They hold codes for me to decipher. \nAnimals\, plants\, stones\, clouds\, my love of the natural world all motivate me to make art. So\, too\, my awe of man-made marvels and creations like skyscrapers\, brick buildings\, stone churches\, common houses\, boats and roads inspire me immeasurably. \nI have been writing poems for a long time and started creating visual poetry in 2007. Through accumulated experience\, I discovered how to draw pictures using the same techniques and processes for writing poetry. I shift my focus inward to my mind\, and as I do\, objects become simplified; their meanings dissolve and float in space. Then\, slowly\, the freely structured poetic world is revealed. \nIn pockets\, I believe everyone holds a key that can open them to both see and feel my art. I wish that when people look at my drawings they can also enjoy a poetic experience. \nAbout Teo Yamamoto \nTeo Yamamoto was born in Japan and has been living in New York City since 1988. She has been producing and publishing a variety of art and has been involved as visual artist\, designer\, poet and writer with many projects based in New York\, Tokyo\, and Europe. \n“CODE – a drawing like poetry like drawing” is an on-going series that Yamamoto began creating in 2007 and exhibiting in 2011 and continues to the present.

SUMMARY:Mapping the Body:  Recognizing Successes & Principles in the Application of Fascial Movement
DESCRIPTION:A 4 day workshop for yoga\, pilates\, and movement teachers. \nWhen we approach a yoga class\, we bring our bodies and the stories we have accumulated during this life. We carry injuries\, both physical and emotional. They have changed the postural and structural alignments that exist between the bones\, muscles\, fascia\, nerves and organs. \nIn class we ask students to move their body according to predetermined sequences and adhere to shapes according to poses. How do the patterns that live in a particular body fit into shapes of those poses? How does an individuals particular somatic history fit a predetermined design? Are our students particular needs getting addressed as we guide them through these movements and poses? Do their personal histories prevent them from accessing our offering? \nHow can we guide students to recognize\, feel and change their specific relationships? Can we develop a language and understanding around what they bring and what they need? Are we interested in fixing what is wrong with them? Or are we interested in recognizing what is already successful in a persons structure and build upon that which is already understood. These are a few of the difficult questions that we will explore in this training. \nIn this 4 day course teachers will come away with the following tools: \n\nSeeing successes in their students bodies\nRecognizing structural patterns that are not serving your students\nTranslating bone alignment to soft tissue needs\nLanguage and techniques to make change to soft tissues\nStrategies and techniques for growing internal awareness\nPractical application of fascial movement in classroom setting\n\nCost: $595 before May 16th / $750 thereafter \nPlease note\, attendance will be by application only as space is limited in order to preserve the intentionally intimate nature of this training.
