Some are from observed reality. Others are mostly from his imagination. They are all painted over days and weeks of concentration and creativity.

Sacred Cacao Ceremony
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) 41 E 11st St. 11th Fl., New York, NY, United StatesTraditionally prepared ceremonial cacao is a magical and sacred treat. It is not at all like drinking a regular cup of hot chocolate. It’s a strong and powerful drink, mixed with spices, to awaken the energetic properties of cacao. Brook was offered this ancient recipe when she worked with shamans in South America. She prepares it with special blessings and prayers offered up to Yolotl Etzli, the spirit of the plant itself. Doing this makes the concoction extremely powerful in aiding those who participate in the sacred ceremony, to open their heart and connect more fully for, deep shamanic journeying, inner work, and creative expression. Unlike a hallucinogenic, cacao takes you to the door of your awakening and offers you the opportunity to walk through it yourself, without forcing you. It is a gentle and magnificent healer.

Exhibition: “Home and Home: New York in My Life” — Photographs by Satomi Shirai
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) announces “Home and Home: New York in My Life,â€_an exhibition of photographs by Satomi Shirai. These seven works reveal, in boldly playful as well as subtle ways, a newly arrived immigrant’s strategies to create a sense of home and to discover what those strategies are. From the outset, CRS has sought to provide a creative and spiritual home to artists and seekers from all over the world, and we believe that this exhibition speaks directly to our mission and the experience of so many members of our community.
The exhibition will open on October 19, 2015 and be on display through November 28, 2015. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Friday, October 23, 2015 from 7:30 â€_9:30 pm.
While the photographs in this exhibition look like documentary-style records of the often messy and alien life that an immigrant lives prior to acquiring furnishings and fully settling in (does an immigrant ever fully settle in?), the photographs are actually meticulously staged with a highly controlled mastery of mis-en-scene and craft. This creates a tension between order and chaos, reality and artifice, into which the artist places herself and her own child and friends as models, challenging our initial impulse to label the life depicted as disordered. The more we look, the more we recognize objects, symbols, behaviors, relationships that give meaning and context to the home depicted. We recognize that we carry home within us and carry on a never-ending process of using our minds in diverse and complex ways to anchor ourselves and project our sense of home into our habitat, making it our own even in the midst of constant change.
白井里実 写真展 ＜Home and Home: New York in My Life＞ 10/19 – 11/28
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) 41 E 11st St. 11th Fl., New York, NY, United Statesオープニング・パーティー : 10/23 (金）7:30 - 9:30 10月19日よりCRSギャラリーでは、写真家白井里実氏による “Home and Home: New York in My Life / ホーム アンド ホーム： ニューヨーク イン マイ ライフ”の写真展を開催します。渡米間もない移住者がどのように自分たちのホームとしての場所を創り上げていくか、それまでの経過を緻密に、時には大胆に写し出した７点の写真を展示します。オープン当初よりCRSでは、世界各国からの芸術家や探求者たちへ、クリエイティブでスピリチュアルな活動を提供するホームとしての役割を果たしてきました。今回の写真展は私たちの役割をダイレクトに示し、私たちのコミュニティーの中のたくさんの方の経験を映し出しています。今回展示する写真は、移住して間もない家具もなくごったがえした移住者の生活とそこに定着するまでを記録のようにドキュメンタリー・スタイルで綴ったものですが、写真は実際には、高度に計算尽くされた演出と技術で細部にまでこだわったものです。 写真家本人や自身の子供、友達が被写体となったその場所は、混沌と清寂、現実と非現実の間の温度差を作り出し、混乱したような生活描写にまずレッテルを貼ろうとする衝動に駆られる自分に気づくかもしれません。 見れば見るほど、私たちは物、象徴、振る舞い、意味付けされた関係性、そして描写の背景を認識することになります。 私たちが自分自身の中にホームを持つことは、何かを永遠に探し続けることの心の支えであり、複雑な人生の頼みの綱であり、住処にホームとしての意義を持たせることによって、同様に普遍の自己の中心を作り出しているのではないでしょうか。 白井里実 略歴 東京出身、現在ニューヨークを拠点に活動。武蔵野美術大学視覚伝達デザイン学科を卒業しフリーランス・フォトグラファーとして活動後、2004年にニューヨークに渡る。2006年に文化庁芸術家海外研修制度を受ける。インターナショナル・センター・オブ・フォトグラフィのフルタイムプログラムを2007年に終了、ニューヨーク市立ハンターカレッジ大学院美術学部修士課程を2010年に修了。東京都写真美術館、ナショナルポートレート・ギャラリー（ロンドン）やスミソニアン・ナショナル・ポートレート・ギャラリー（ワシントンDC）など国内外の美術館やギャラリーの展覧会に参加。東京都写真美術館と清里写真美術館(K’MoPA)に作品収蔵されている。 アーティスト・ステイトメント 戸ｺ牖ﾕｳを鑿ｳｶﾞちて以て室ｼﾂを為る。 其の無に当りて室の用有り。 （現代語訳：窓を開け、扉をこしらえて、部屋を作る。 中の空間（無）の部分が部屋の働きをしている。 老子 「無用の用」より この作品シリーズ「Home and Home: New York in My Life / ホーム アンド ホーム： ニューヨーク イン マイ ライフ」では、東京からニューヨークに移り住んだ者のひとりとして、「ホーム／家」の概念を探り、制作しています。そこでは、形の有るものと無いものが深く関わり、考察やアイデアが展開していきます。私たちは、どのように「ホーム／家」という感覚を持つのだろうか？ ニューヨークへの移住生活は、文化間の差異を克服することではなく、その違いに出会い、理解していくことにあると思っています。ニューヨークに住むことで、それぞれの文化の無形の部分、例えば言語、神話、考え方、習慣、社会階層やアイデンティティを特に意識させられます。また、ここで見かける多様な女性性は、街の集団的な意識をとらえる良い機会となっています。 慣習、祝祭日、建築、服装、食べもの、場所、家のデザインなどの位置づけに注目しており、個人の生活では文化がどのように混在、または変化なくとどまっているのか、そして、国民性やその感性は異文化間の都市生活の中でどのように維持されるのか、または手放されるのかを探っています。文化の差異をより理解していくに従い、ニューヨークへの親しみは増し、この街での私の居場所が精神的に広がって行くのを感じます。 近頃、私の生活と作品制作において、新しい視点が加わっています。この街で妊娠、出産をして、母親になりました。そして精神状態やライフスタイルが大きく変化しています。今後、このシリーズは、または新しい章として、この未知の展開と共に続く予定です。 http://www.satomishirai.com

ポジティブ心理学セミナー「強みとレジリエンス」9/17-12/3
ポジティブ心理学は、心理学が長い間、病気や弱みをどう治すかという視点に偏っていた反省から、人の強みに焦点を当て、より幸せに生きていくことを科学的に研究している分野です。２０１５年秋は「強みとレジリエンス（逆境に打ち勝つ力）」について開催します。 人生には素晴らしい経験と同時に、様々な逆境があり、それを乗り越えられる力が「レジリエンス」（再起力）と呼ばれています。親として、教師として、上司として、コーチやカウンセラーとして、子供、生徒、部下、クライエントにそのような力をそのような力を育ててあげたいと考えない人は少ないでしょう。 また子育てや仕事、そして人生も同様、数え切れないほどの素晴らしい経験もあれば、困難で投げ出したくなることもあるかもしれません。この講座では、相手の強みを引き出してレジリエンスを高める関わり方と、私たち自身のレジリエンスを高める、効果の検証されているレジリエンステクニックについて紹介します。 講師：松村亜里, Ph.D 医学博士・臨床心理士 ポジティブ心理学プラクティショナー コロンビア大学ティーチャーズカレッジ修士（臨床心理学）、秋田大学大学院医学系研究科博士課程修了（公衆衛生学）。アメリカと日本の国際系の大学で、カウンセリングと心理学の講義を担当後、２０１２年からニューヨーク州在住。 日時： 10/29, 11/12, 11/19, 12/3（木）１０：４５～１２：４５ 受講料： 一回は＄40 初回だけの体験($20)もお気軽にお申し込み下さい。 お申し込み、お問い合わせは松村まで。icadjust@gmail.com ホームページ ibunka-k.com フェイスブックページ facebook.com/ibunka.k
