SUMMARY:An Afternoon with Non-Duality Lecturer & Author Naho Owada
DESCRIPTION:CRS welcomes back Paris and Japan-based Non-Duality lecturer Naho Owada\, author of the newly published book Between the Lines\, for a meditation\, talk and Q&A. The event will be emceed by CRS co-founder and A Course in Miracles teacher/healer Christopher Pelham. \nOur purpose is to share the joy that is present when we drop our stories and experience life impersonally as it truly is\, as limitless unconditional love. \nAs long as thoughts continue returning\, pulling us back into our stories\, we will attempt to re-purpose them to point back to what lies beyond the words and concepts. In this way\, Naho will share the story of her seeming experience of struggling and awakening and how she lives with it now\, and she will answer your questions. \nWe’ll also explore how Naho’s approach to Non-Duality compares with A Course in Miracles and what they might have to offer one another. \nTickets are $30 in advance and $40 on the event of the event ($20 for students and seniors with valid ID at the door). \nAbout Naho Owada \nIt was before the age of one when Naho sensed that humanity\, this world\, was not a comfortable place. Her mother told her that she first noticed Naho’s experience of the world while she was in her baby seat. Naho appeared to be in shock. She said that often her eyes would be wide and moving from left to right\, as if she were seeing evil or in terror. Naho was very tense. \nSomewhere around the age of three\, there was a natural sense that saw clearly the loneliness or suffering underneath all humans. Naho could see in the faces that there was something hiding\, an unease underneath the smile. Naho was always feeling uncomfortable. \nBy the time Naho turned five\, she asked her mother why she had to continue to live. \nIt was in her teen years that Naho began her deep search in finding the cause of the uncomfortableness\, of which she never found. Around the age of 20\, Naho realized she would not find the answer where she was looking. She didn’t experience any tragedies in her life and therefore knew that it was not the story of the life that was causing her suffering. \nAt the age of 25\, she met a man who had had an experience of this. He told her that the cause of suffering was the phantom self. She began to see that wherever she went\, there she would be. It seemed to be following her; this ‘I’. She couldn’t escape the self that seemed to be having such uncomfortableness. It was from there that she knew she found the answer she was searching for. \nIt became evident that everyone is born with a sense of lack that comes from apparent separation–but this has nothing to do with the story of their apparent life. People try to find the answer in their storyline and that is because they think if they change the story\, it will bring them happiness. That isn’t true. That will only bring relief for a short period of time. It began to be obvious that the person we believe our ‘self’ to be\, is a complete illusion. \nSoon thereafter\, there came an apparent moment (while on her way to the organic supermarket) that the illusion completely vanished. What was left is everything\, without a center. \nWhat’s Happening Now \nMany people have been asking about Naho’s whereabouts. For the past two years\, Naho has been very busy sharing her message in Japan. Most of Naho’s invitations have been with the world’s most renowned and important buddhist monks asking her to come and share her message in their temples which are the treasure of Japan. While in Japan\, Naho wrote and published three books on her own\, all of which are doing very well. \nThis message being the closest to her heart is now going to be available in other countries\, as Naho is residing in both France and Japan and is now travelling with her message all over the globe. \nhttps://www.nahoowada.com \nAbout Christopher Pelham \nChristopher is the co-founder and Director of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) where he studies and teaches A Course in Miracles. He also offer spiritual healing and counseling\, guides meditations\, organizes Sufi events and Healing Circles with Sufi Dance Artist Lale Sayoko\, and produces a wide variety of arts and healing programming. While deeply rooted in A Course in Miracles\, his approach to teaching also draws on his experiences with improvisational theatre and contemporary shamanism.

SUMMARY:CRS Healing Circle:  Meditation + Whirling Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thur\, 9/19 @ 7:15 pm for our monthly Healing Circle + Whirling (Sufi Dance) Prayer! \nLed by Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko and CRS Healer Christopher Pelham\, we create a safe space in which to let go of our small selves and recognize the divinity in one another and within ourselves. When we do so\, we can trust ourselves to fully experience our feelings with the awareness that they cannot hurt us\, or overwhelm us\, or change us at all\, because we are still as Love created us. \nAfter we’ll enjoy social time with tea and snacks. \nThe participation fee is $20 with advanced registration and $25 at the door. Direct registration link:\nhttps://bit.ly/2Lcbtws \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 \nSufi Dance Instructor Lâle Sayoko lives to embody and transmit the voice of spirit through music and dance. As CRS resident Sufi Dance instructor\, choreographer\, performing artist\, and musical curator\, she loves to welcome people into this holy practice to explore and share their own divinity. After a long professional dance career\, she retired to support her young daughter through a life-threatening medical crisis. Several years later she discovered that she could whirl as a form of prayer to support her daughter and began studying Sufi Dance with Paris-based Sufi Artist Rana Gorgani. 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. She currently teaches Sufi Dance classes at CRS every first Thursday of the month from 7 – 8:30 pm and leads the CRS Healing Circles + Whirling Prayer that take place every third Thursday of the month from 7:15 – 9 pm.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/lale.sayoko \nChristopher Pelham is a spiritual healer/counselor/teacher/artist who draws on practices from ACIM\, Non-Violent Communication\, improvisational theater\, Sufism\, and contemporary shamanism to help people remember who they really are.
