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:Kundalini Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ananda Mandala is a Chakra clearing meditation designed to raise Kundalini energy. This guided meditation involves vigorous (Pranayama) breathing techniques. \nDiksha is an energy transfer that works by activating Kundalini energy. This creates a gradual shift in consciousness\, freeing you from the suffering created by the mind\, balancing the body’s natural healing energies and attuning the brain to higher levels of awareness. Diksha does not belong to any religion or belief. It is a universal energy that can be received by anyone. \nANANDA MANDALA to be followed by DIKSHA. \n*Please arrive promptly at 7 pm so as not to inconvenience other participants. If you arrive after the first process has started you will have to wait until it is completed to join. \n$10 suggested donation\nPay directly to the instructor\, Kenneth Compton

SUMMARY:Meditation & Spiritual Reading Practice Based on ACIM
DESCRIPTION:Let’s practice dropping our thoughts\, opening to love’s presence\, and allowing ourselves to melt into one another\, being present with what is. In this eternity we can experience love’s presence in new forms\, giving us new inspiration and direction. \nIt is OK to attend without having studied A Course in Miracles\, but we highly encourage you to begin reading the Text and\, especially\, to begin the workbook lessons if you feel called to do so! Receiving guidance occurs when you cultivate willingness to believe in it and receive it and lay aside resistance. The purpose of ACIM is to help you train your mind to do just that. \nStill\, even without training\, anyone can potentially benefit from meditation practices. At the very least\, you might calm down and have a good time\, and students of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome! \nInstructor Christopher Pelham is the Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He teaches A Course in Miracles and A Course of Love\, offer Spiritual Healing and counseling\, and organizes Sufi events and Healing Circles with Sufi Dance Artist Lâle Sayoko. While ACIM is the foundation of his work\, he also draws on his rich experiences with improvisational theater and contemporary shamanism to help people remember who they really are: perfect and limitless expressions of love.

SUMMARY:ASCA — Adult Survivors of Child Abuse Support Group
DESCRIPTION:ASCA New York City is a support group for adult survivors of child abuse. We meet weekly to give one another emotional support and an opportunity for expression of feelings\, thoughts\, memories\, hopes\, insights\, and education on the subject of child abuse. \nOur meetings follow the Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) program as designed by the Morris Center in San Francisco. The format is similar to that of 12-step programs with some significant differences. Similarities include directed readings\, short and long shares\, absence of cross-talk\, and mutual support. Differences include the replacement of the 12 steps with a list of 21 steps that are more relevant to survivors of child abuse. For more information on our meeting format\, visit the ASCA website. \nWhat Is the Basic Meeting Format? \nOpening Comments by Co-Secretaries\, Readings\nPresenter (maximum 15 minutes)\nFeedback to Presenter (10 minutes)\nShares (maximum 5 minutes each)\nClosure Comments\nAnnouncements & Closing \nWhat Do I Have to Do at Meetings? \nYou do not have to do anything. You do not have to introduce yourself and do not have to speak. You can just sit and listen if you like. This is a no pressure situation. We try to keep the atmosphere easy going and friendly. \nHow Many People Attend Meetings? \nWe average 20+ people per meeting. \nWhat Types of Child Abuse Do You Discuss? \nWe discuss the whole gamut of forms of abuse including incest\, sexual abuse by non-relatives\, violence\, emotional and verbal abuse\, and neglect. \nWhat Is the Demographic Background of Meeting Participants? \nWe have people of many races\, religions\, ethnic backgrounds\, and life style choices. We have both men and women\, most meetings with a 50-50 split by gender. Our participants cover the adult age range. \nCan I Join? \nWe welcome any person who is recovering from child abuse except for those who are currently perpetrating abuse on others (See note 6 below.). \nOur Meetings are classified as Open drop-in. This means that a newcomer to the ASCA meeting is always welcomed into the group. Participants come when they want. There is no set commitment to attending ASCA meetings and no requirement to participate. If you like\, you can just get comfortable in your chair and watch. \nTo ensure cooperation and safety in our meeting\, we observe the following guidelines: \nPlease arrive on time and remain until the conclusion of the meeting. Latecomers will be asked to wait outside so that speakers who are sharing are not interrupted. There are two opportunities for entry – 1) just prior to the main presenter about 10 minutes into the meeting\, and 2) just prior to the share period approximately 35 minutes into the meeting. No one will be allowed in after this last time.\nASCA meetings are exclusively for survivors of physical\, sexual\, or emotional childhood abuse. \nThis is an anonymous meeting. Only first names are used.\nWhat you hear today is told in confidence and should not be repeated outside this meeting. \nWe ask that no one attend our meeting under the influence of alcohol or drugs\, unless the medication is prescribed by a physician. \nASCA meetings are not intended for survivors who are currently perpetrating abuse on others. Talking about past or present perpetrator type behavior is not permissible. \nLanguage that is considered derogatory concerning race\, gender\, ethnicity\, religion\, sexual orientation or other minority status is unacceptable in our meeting. \nBy participating in this meeting we all agree to abide by the spirit of ASCA\, our guidelines and any interventions by the Co-Secretaries. \nFor more info\, visit the ASCA New York web site:\nhttp://sites.google.com/site/ascanewyork/

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 \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 many 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. READ MORE >>

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. He is the Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). He has also taught and/or offered healing in London\, in Japan\, at the 2018 Awakening to the One Mind Retreat\, and at the 2017 Enlight Festival of A Course in Miracles in Ibiza\, Spain.\nhttp://www.chrispelham.com
