SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Archetype-Hidden Memory — Paintings by Lex Braes
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents “Archetype-Hidden Memory\,” an exhibition of small paintings and works on paper by Lex Braes. This is the second solo exhibition by Braes at CRS\, the first having taken place in 2012. These works result from Braes’ practice of painting a handful of images over and over\, transforming them into abstract patterns that nevertheless express the energy and emotion of the original images and suggest some hidden language and connection between the works. The exhibition will open on February 11\, 2019 and will remain on view through April 14. \nAll works Courtesy of the Artist\, and Galerie Felix Ringel\, Düsseldorf. This exhibition was organized by CRS staff member Takeshi Inoue. \nRUNES \nScottish painter Lex Braes starts with a thought and an image\, and then reduces that image to a structure of a few lines\, maybe five lines or a single endless line\, like a Celtic knot. With handmade paint on plaster\, linen and here on paper\, he mines a motif that he first found in 2009\, using organic geometry to discover shapes\, creating rhomboids\, parallelograms\, and abstract forms that suggest and reminisce about ancient memories. Some of Braes’s forms recall the keening\, wailing figure of a man on a Greek krater\, seen on a trip to Athens. Others are derived from memories of a reclining female figure. These are indelible memories that sometimes become the joined lines that form two shapes\, an abstract form\, or uplifted arms signaling mourning. \nA series of forms on paper\, incremental grey lines lean slightly\, more ample or less close\, to create a rhythm\, with one smaller form set slightly apart. Another sheet of paper is loaded with forms\, erased by waves of additional colors\, and layered paint. While it appears now to be just a warm grey\, a solid wall of color\, the intimate painting on paper has some extra moisture\, with traces of liquid running down the sheet\, like cleansing rain that is seen through a dirty window. A third painting on paper\, reveals a layered technique where the remaining stroke is a single gesture\, an O form. \nPoignantly marked with ground earth pigments mixed with polymers on prepared paper\, his images are reminders of a fleeting impression as it crosses the painter’s mind. Perhaps that happens once or maybe a hundred times in a day\, and probably too many times in an hour. The thoughts are punctuated with a change of material or surface. His reductive paintings are layered and built up surfaces\, mixing in the ad hoc elements of rain water\, or moldy earth as a new color\, connecting to primal and essential nature with constant reconfiguration\, to end up with the most fragile simplicity. Strong statements\, given in bare minimal colors that remind of earth\, first strokes like cave paintings\, blue water and sky. Using a language only known to him\, yet universal\, Braes draws upon the essential wildness of his native Scotland\, filled with the ancient civilizing and peaceful grounding of Pictish stones\, runic inscriptions and pictograms that channel ancient and universal human emotions. \nThe painter’s daily movement travels between small oil sketches on paper to rounded sculpted forms\, connected to remnants of wood\, or paintings on linen. New drawings of graphite marks emerge from beneath layers and layers of an empty space\, formed by painting around reserved places on the paper\, allowing viewers to peek at an original space of emptiness. Braes captures an essential quality undetected in our daily frenetic lives. He bridges living memory of enduring spirit with a connection from the past. \n— Lisa A.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Archetype-Hidden Memory — Paintings by Lex Braes
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents “Archetype-Hidden Memory\,” an exhibition of small paintings and works on paper by Lex Braes. This is the second solo exhibition by Braes at CRS\, the first having taken place in 2012. These works result from Braes’ practice of painting a handful of images over and over\, transforming them into abstract patterns that nevertheless express the energy and emotion of the original images and suggest some hidden language and connection between the works. The exhibition will open on February 11\, 2019 and will remain on view through April 14. \nAll works Courtesy of the Artist\, and Galerie Felix Ringel\, Düsseldorf. This exhibition was organized by CRS staff member Takeshi Inoue. \nRUNES \nScottish painter Lex Braes starts with a thought and an image\, and then reduces that image to a structure of a few lines\, maybe five lines or a single endless line\, like a Celtic knot. With handmade paint on plaster\, linen and here on paper\, he mines a motif that he first found in 2009\, using organic geometry to discover shapes\, creating rhomboids\, parallelograms\, and abstract forms that suggest and reminisce about ancient memories. Some of Braes’s forms recall the keening\, wailing figure of a man on a Greek krater\, seen on a trip to Athens. Others are derived from memories of a reclining female figure. These are indelible memories that sometimes become the joined lines that form two shapes\, an abstract form\, or uplifted arms signaling mourning. \nA series of forms on paper\, incremental grey lines lean slightly\, more ample or less close\, to create a rhythm\, with one smaller form set slightly apart. Another sheet of paper is loaded with forms\, erased by waves of additional colors\, and layered paint. While it appears now to be just a warm grey\, a solid wall of color\, the intimate painting on paper has some extra moisture\, with traces of liquid running down the sheet\, like cleansing rain that is seen through a dirty window. A third painting on paper\, reveals a layered technique where the remaining stroke is a single gesture\, an O form. \nPoignantly marked with ground earth pigments mixed with polymers on prepared paper\, his images are reminders of a fleeting impression as it crosses the painter’s mind. Perhaps that happens once or maybe a hundred times in a day\, and probably too many times in an hour. The thoughts are punctuated with a change of material or surface. His reductive paintings are layered and built up surfaces\, mixing in the ad hoc elements of rain water\, or moldy earth as a new color\, connecting to primal and essential nature with constant reconfiguration\, to end up with the most fragile simplicity. Strong statements\, given in bare minimal colors that remind of earth\, first strokes like cave paintings\, blue water and sky. Using a language only known to him\, yet universal\, Braes draws upon the essential wildness of his native Scotland\, filled with the ancient civilizing and peaceful grounding of Pictish stones\, runic inscriptions and pictograms that channel ancient and universal human emotions. \nThe painter’s daily movement travels between small oil sketches on paper to rounded sculpted forms\, connected to remnants of wood\, or paintings on linen. New drawings of graphite marks emerge from beneath layers and layers of an empty space\, formed by painting around reserved places on the paper\, allowing viewers to peek at an original space of emptiness. Braes captures an essential quality undetected in our daily frenetic lives. He bridges living memory of enduring spirit with a connection from the past. \n— Lisa A.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles Wednesday Classes
DESCRIPTION:Mondays 7:30 – 9 pm\nTaught by Yasuko Kasaki\, assisted by Christopher Pelham \nWednesdays 8 – 9:30 pm\nTaught by Christopher Pelham \nKnow your life purpose and the meaning of your current situation clearly. Communicate with your Inner Teacher. Heal yourself and others. \nThese ongoing classes focus on mind training designed to help you to experience the lessons and loving wisdom of ACIM. Each class contains some lecture from the ACIM Textbook\, some discussion and Q&A\, and typically 10 – 20 minutes of meditation\, creative visualization and/or spiritual reading practice in order to experience mind change. \nOur primary goal in these classes is for each student to learn to listen to the guidance of Holy Spirit and live his/her life with certainty and peace. Slowly\, you will re-train your eyes to see the world around you without judgment. You will learn to communicate with your holy spirit. \nIt is OK to attend without having studied the Course\, but we highly encourage you begin reading the Text and\, especially\, to begin the workbook lessons if you can! This course is meant to be experienced rather than simply talked about. You can find the text and lessons online. \nStudents of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:  Archetype-Hidden Memory — Paintings by Lex Braes
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents “Archetype-Hidden Memory\,” an exhibition of small paintings and works on paper by Lex Braes. This is the second solo exhibition by Braes at CRS\, the first having taken place in 2012. These works result from Braes’ practice of painting a handful of images over and over\, transforming them into abstract patterns that nevertheless express the energy and emotion of the original images and suggest some hidden language and connection between the works. The exhibition will open on February 11\, 2019 and will remain on view through April 14. \nAll works Courtesy of the Artist\, and Galerie Felix Ringel\, Düsseldorf. This exhibition was organized by CRS staff member Takeshi Inoue. \nRUNES \nScottish painter Lex Braes starts with a thought and an image\, and then reduces that image to a structure of a few lines\, maybe five lines or a single endless line\, like a Celtic knot. With handmade paint on plaster\, linen and here on paper\, he mines a motif that he first found in 2009\, using organic geometry to discover shapes\, creating rhomboids\, parallelograms\, and abstract forms that suggest and reminisce about ancient memories. Some of Braes’s forms recall the keening\, wailing figure of a man on a Greek krater\, seen on a trip to Athens. Others are derived from memories of a reclining female figure. These are indelible memories that sometimes become the joined lines that form two shapes\, an abstract form\, or uplifted arms signaling mourning. \nA series of forms on paper\, incremental grey lines lean slightly\, more ample or less close\, to create a rhythm\, with one smaller form set slightly apart. Another sheet of paper is loaded with forms\, erased by waves of additional colors\, and layered paint. While it appears now to be just a warm grey\, a solid wall of color\, the intimate painting on paper has some extra moisture\, with traces of liquid running down the sheet\, like cleansing rain that is seen through a dirty window. A third painting on paper\, reveals a layered technique where the remaining stroke is a single gesture\, an O form. \nPoignantly marked with ground earth pigments mixed with polymers on prepared paper\, his images are reminders of a fleeting impression as it crosses the painter’s mind. Perhaps that happens once or maybe a hundred times in a day\, and probably too many times in an hour. The thoughts are punctuated with a change of material or surface. His reductive paintings are layered and built up surfaces\, mixing in the ad hoc elements of rain water\, or moldy earth as a new color\, connecting to primal and essential nature with constant reconfiguration\, to end up with the most fragile simplicity. Strong statements\, given in bare minimal colors that remind of earth\, first strokes like cave paintings\, blue water and sky. Using a language only known to him\, yet universal\, Braes draws upon the essential wildness of his native Scotland\, filled with the ancient civilizing and peaceful grounding of Pictish stones\, runic inscriptions and pictograms that channel ancient and universal human emotions. \nThe painter’s daily movement travels between small oil sketches on paper to rounded sculpted forms\, connected to remnants of wood\, or paintings on linen. New drawings of graphite marks emerge from beneath layers and layers of an empty space\, formed by painting around reserved places on the paper\, allowing viewers to peek at an original space of emptiness. Braes captures an essential quality undetected in our daily frenetic lives. He bridges living memory of enduring spirit with a connection from the past. \n— Lisa A.

SUMMARY:Neda Boin in Concert:  The Light Has Come (music inspired by A Course in Miracles)
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents an evening with the award-winning singer songwriter Neda Boin of the Netherlands\, whose first album\, “The Light Has Come\,” just won Best Album of the Year at the Rotterdam Music Awards. Amazingly\, Neda\, a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) for 8+ years\, channeled all the songs on the album in just two weeks\, all inspired from ACIM Workbook lessons\, making it the first album inspired by ACIM to win album of the year. Profoundly spiritual in nature\, the songs are deeply satisfying as songs\, with beautiful and irresistible music colored with soul\, jazz and world music inflections\, brought to soaring life by Neda’s angelic voice. \n“Neda’s music is a way to merge with the Spirit and feel the absolute glory of Divine Love. Her amazing voice enhances the lyrics from Heaven\, and my soul is lifted every time I listen.” — David Hoffmeister\, author of Unwind Your Mind Back to God \nThis concert will take place Friday\, March 29\, 2019 at 7:30 pm at CRS and kicks off the Living in the Light Course in Miracles Weekend\, which will continue throughout the day on March 30 with talks\, workshops\, and healing shared by Neda Boin\, Corinne Zupko (author of From Anxiety to Love)\, CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki (author of 16 books in Japanese about ACIM)\, and the CRS healers. This will be the first ACIM weekend in NYC since the CMC ACIM Conference in 2015. \n[box] Individual tickets for the concert as well as for the weekend are available online\, by phone (212-677-8621)\, and at CRS. Concert tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door ($20 at the door for students/seniors with valid ID). \n[button link=”https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/crs?k_class=108569&k_class_tab=13442″ color=”pink”] Buy Concert Tickets![/button] \nSaturday’s program tickets are $120 in advance and $140 at the door ($100 at the door for students/seniors with valid ID). Combined tickets are $140. \n[button link=”https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/catalog-view.html?id_sale=5&k_id=592747″] Buy Combined Two-Day Concert/Workshop Tickets![/button] \n[/box] \n \nIn this concert\, Neda will share many songs with you as well as many helpful parables about her own journey from darkness to light. Before the album was released\, Neda often joked with her friends that she would rename the album to “The Darkness has Come” since there was so much healing taking place before the album fully got recorded. Go to www.nedaboin.com to listen to the album. You’re invited to sing along\, or you can just allow the beautiful words and melodies to wash over you. \n“Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes\, the light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition\, not a change at all” (W-188.1.2). \nCheck out her mini documentary here to see more about this journey. \n\n\n\nABOUT NEDA BOIN \nNeda\, literally meaning ‘Inner Voice’ or ‘Voice for God\,’ discovered her musical talent at a young age. When she was five years old\, she began\, just like her mother who is a professional violin player\, with playing the violin. However\, singing was always her first love. Around the age of thirteen she learned to play the piano and developed a way to express herself by writing her own songs. In 2006 she won a national music contest with one of the first songs that she wrote. \nIn the summer of 2007 she toured through Kenya for orphanages\, schools\, slums and different tribes with a performance about HIV and AIDS. In the summer of 2008 she went to India to investigate child prostitution and give workshops and performances about women’s rights. It was then that she even more so experienced the power and universal language of music. \n“I saw that making music wasn’t a goal for me anymore\, it became a way to connect with people and touch their hearts\,” she says. A few years later she hitchhiked from The Netherlands all the way down to South Africa. \n“The songs I was writing were mostly inspired by the injustice I saw during my travels. They were songs about wanting to change the world.” But when in 2010\, at age 20\, A Course in Miracles came into her life\, she started training her own mind so she could be the example of love and peace she so badly wanted to see outside herself. \nIn 2013 Neda won both the audience and the jury prizes at the Music Matters Awards\, which made her the music ambassador of Rotterdam for one whole year. Shortly after\, she graduated from the music conservatory of Rotterdam with a Bachelor of Music. She successfully released her first EP\, “When Lambs Become Lions\,” in October 2014. She also started giving songwriting workshops in juvenile prison\, which she is currently still doing. \nIn 2015 Neda convinced all four coaches of “The Voice” of Holland to turn their chairs around for her\, and she made it all the way to the last eight contestants. \nLast year she woke up one morning feeling as if she was being pulled towards the piano where the Course Workbook lesson 124 was lying open: “Let me remember I am one with God.” Words and melodies came pouring through her\, and before she knew it\, she had written a complete song with lyrics from that Workbook lesson. The same thing happened everyday for two weeks until she had enough “Course songs” to fill a whole album\, which turned into her debut album\, “The Light Has Come.” \nYou can learn more about Neda Boin on her web site at nedaboin.com.

SUMMARY:Living in the Light Course in Miracles Weekend
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to join us March 29 – 30\, 2019 for the Living in the Light Course in Miracles Weekend. Led by beloved Course authors Yasuko Kasaki (author of 16 books in Japanese about ACIM) and Corinne Zupko  (author of From Anxiety to Love)\, and musician and Voice Liberation therapist Neda Boin\, this will be the first ACIM weekend in NYC since the CMC ACIM Conference in 2015 and promises to be a life-changing event! Through talks\, healing\, sharing\, singing\, and exercises\, we will learn practical tools for daily living and experience ourselves as the limitlessly loving and creative beings that we really are. Are you ready to shine?! \nThe weekend will kick off at 7:30 pm on Friday\, March 29 with music and storytelling by award-winning singer songwriter Neda Boin of the Netherlands\, whose first album\, “The Light Has Come\,” inspired by the A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Workbook lessons\, incredibly just won Best Album of the Year at the Rotterdam Music Awards. \nThe program will continue throughout the day on Saturday\, March 30 with talks\, workshops\, and healing shared by Neda Boin\, Corinne Zupko\, CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki and the CRS healers. Together\, we’ll tune in to our feelings and bring into the light whatever beliefs may be giving rise to them so that we can be healed.

And in each moment that the ego temps us\, we make a choice for Spirit again. This moment to moment practice can be facilitated by offering miracles to our brothers. By doing so\, we ultimately recognize our oneness and all that is not true\, including fear and anxiety\, simply dissolves. What is left is pure joy! In this workshop\, participants will learn and experience practical strategies for dissolving fear and living in the light. \nABOUT SPIRITUAL HEALING WITH YASUKO AND CRS HEALERS \nOur healing is based on the Course. ACIM says that salvation occurs when you are with your brother. When you know the truth about your brother\, you will know the truth of who you truly are\, because you will recognize that you and your brother are actually one. Recognizing this truth is the only way to experience peace. Bring any issue you are facing right now — physically\, emotionally\, mentally\, and/or spiritually. With eyes closed (you will be seated and a healer will stand nearby; no touching is involved)\, a CRS healer will observe you with his inner sight\, free of any judgments\, as your truly are\, a perfect shining spirit. Together\, will ask the Holy Spirit (or inner guide if you prefer) to bring us directly to whatever seed thought is causing your current issues and ask for guidance about how your spirit really wants to make use of your present situation for its growth and sharing of love. After about 5 – 10 minutes of meditation together\, we share the inspirational guidance that we receive. \nABOUT VOICE LIBERATION WITH NEDA \nIn voice liberation the voice is used as an instrument to deeply connect with others and with Spirit. The joy of “being sung through” is a truly liberating experience! Throughout this workshop\, our focus will be to “step back and let Him lead the way.” Discovering your inner voice comes from a place of deep surrender and trust. Even if you have no musical background or believe you have no talent\, you will be able to participate in experiential singing and songwriting! Spirit will facilitate emotional healing by guiding you to get in touch with and express your Inner Voice. You will be supported in using your voice as a gateway to allow what is ready to come up to the surface to be released. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PRESENTERS \nYasuko Kasaki is an internationally beloved spiritual writer\, counselor\, healer\, lecturer and translator from Tokyo.

A student of A Course in Miracles for 8+ years\, she channeled her latest album\, “The Light Has Come” over a period of two weeks in 2018. Lyrics for each of the songs were inspired by ACIM Workbook lessons. Profoundly spiritual in nature\, the songs are also deeply satisfying as songs\, with beautiful and irresistible music colored with soul\, jazz and world music inflections\, brought to soaring life by Neda’s angelic voice\, and the album went on to win Album of the Year at the Rotterdamn Music Awards!
