Winter Wonderland at Rebel NYC presented by Rebirth

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

“Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

“How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.

“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Witness as Rebirth takes Manhattan. New York is steeped in the confusion of myth that has us all feeling a bit insane. But not to despair, instead let us celebrate, for sweet relief has found it’s way into our fair city. There is a ReBirth. Don the mask of fantasy where art, music, and dance fuse with spirit to create a wonderland where we may find momentary refuge along the way on our journey “back home — to ourselves.” We, the innocent few dream of illicit pleasure, childlike reverie, dancing ‘til dawn as we dream ourselves back to the eyes that once inspired us…and perhaps we may find ‘the others’ in the process. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Alice represents our youthful struggle to survive in the confusing world of adults. To understand our adult world, Alice has to overcome the open-mindedness that is characteristic for children. Here is your chance to peel back the layers your adult self has created, and return to your innocence, your child-like open-mindedness, and perhaps your reckless cravings for exploration into other worlds and other minds. The Red Queen shook her head, “You may call it ‘nonsense’ if you like,” she said, “but I’ve heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!”

Join Alice in her trippy winter wonderland adventures into live painting, cage dancing, psychedelic visuals, trippy light shows, Tarot Readings, live music, dj’s, drinks, and black light visual sensations. Try out your right brain and dress “fantasy”, black light friendly attire will make us love you even more…Winter Wonderland “brought to you by Rebirth” Experience a Winter Wonderland “Go ask Alice,.. I think she’ll know.”Live Musicians: Spineless Thug, ATM, Bioluminescence, The Living Painting Group.

The Money Fix Film Screening and Filmmaker Q&A

Join us for a screening of the acclaimed feature-length documentary The Money Fix which exposes the assumptions behind the current money system and offers a look at existing alternatives. The screening will be followed by a panel and Q&A with director Alan Rosenblith, Jen Cohen of Seven Stones Leadership and The Global Sufficiency Network, and Jordan Schachter of Time Interchange New York (TINY). Alan and Jen will be joining us via Skype and Jordan will moderate the discussion. We hope you can join us as we surface and examine hidden assumptions about the function and use of money and learn practical tools for empowering our communities. Money is at the intersection of nearly every aspect of modern life. Most of us take the monetary system for granted, but it has a profound and largely misunderstood influence on our lives. The Money Fix is a feature-length documentary exploring our society’s relationship with the almighty dollar. The Money Fix examines economic patterning in both the human and the natural worlds, and through this lens we learn how we can empower ourselves by redesigning the lifeblood of the economy at the community level. The film documents three types of alternative money systems, all of which help solve economic problems for the communities in which they operate.

Presented by Evolver NYC, Souldish, and StorySpiral.

Here is a recent blog by Alan Rosenblith for Souldish in which he explores questions such as: What is money? Where does it come from? How does the design of our monetary system affect our lives? http://www.souldish.com/2009/10/19/the-money-fix-by-alan-rosenblith

Speaking will be: Jordan Schachter is the founder of TimeForCharity.com, an auction website that hosts auctions for charities and one of the founders of The Time Interchange Of New York, www.timeinterchange.com, where New Yorkers can trade goods and services for an alternative currency called Time Dollars or TINY’s. He has written and directed several feature films and television pilots as well as plays in New York. He meditates daily. http://timeinterchange.wordpress.com/

Please note: no one will be turned away for lack of funds but we do appreciate helping us pay for the space rental and so on, and we are also raising funds for TINY to help them renew their Time Bank software licensing fee and will be making a donation to the filmmaker for allowing us to show his film if there are available funds.

The Shaman’s Way - Healing the Light Body

With medical anthropologist, Alberto Villoldo, PhD. Alberto Villoldo with shamansShamans understand that we all have a luminous energy field surrounding the body that holds a record of all our traumas and reflects the state of our health and psyche. The work of a shaman is to heal patients by bringing balance to this field. In this experiential workshop, Alberto Villoldo, who has studied and practiced the shamanic traditions of the Andes and Amazon for more than 30 years, will introduce us to the core practices of shamanic energy medicine, giving us powerful tools we can use to attain exceptional health and well-being and to positively affect our future evolution. The healing modalities we will explore will include: the illumination process which clears imbalances in the energy field before they have a chance to express as disease in the body; a method for extracting toxic energies embedded in our energy field; “soul retrieval” work to revisit and undo the damage of past traumatic events as we recover our essential Self; and rites of passage, including life and death rites.

Fix - the movie

One week only theatrical run not to be missed. Synopsis: Racing across Los Angeles in one, unwieldy day, documentary filmmakers Bella and Milo race from Beverly Hills to Watts and places in between to get Milo’s brother Leo from jail to rehab before 8pm, or Leo goes to prison for three years. A story inspired by true events, the trio documents their trip from a suburban police station in Calabasas through mansions in Beverly Hills, East LA chop-shops, rural wastelands, and housing projects in Watts as they attempt to raise the $5,000 required to get Leo into the rehab clinic. Along the way encountering dozens of colorful characters, each with their own anomalous perspective on Leo’s larger than life personality and style, and each with their own excuse for why they cannot help out. In the end, it may take a drug deal to get the necessary funds for rehab. “This is a life more vivid than any I’ve ever seen in this town. It’s a movie more vivid than almost any made in this town. Dirty, sweet and magical, the movie swirls kaleidoscopically through urban terrain. It has the hallmarks of a music video — fast motion, jump cuts, dizzying angles — but isn’t just vainly edgy. It’s meant to be a guerrilla film-on-the-fly, latticed like the broken windshield of perception. The movie has a sort of mantra — at least twice, characters offer the greeting “Each day’s better than the next.” Here is a two-faced piece of wisdom indeed. Does it mean life is getting ever-better, like it sounds, or ever-worse, like it says? Is “Fix” a movie about hope or catastrophe, the best of times or the worst of times? That’s for you to decide after seeing the movie. Catch it at the Brooklyn Film Festival, see it at another festival near you, beg your local arthouse to play it, do what you have to do, but see it. Because you just gotta.” -Joshua Tanzer offoffoff.com Friday, November 20, - Thursday, November 26

Since late 1996 when the WAH Center opened, we have been acquiring contemporary works for a collection. While most of the works in the collection are from wonderful exhibitions held at the WAH Center, some works in the collection were not exhibited at the center, but donated by our generous friends. And while many works are from artists in New York City, we also have works by artists from across the United States and abroad. In one or two cases we have acquired work from an artist in depth, which we can show at special times. And, on particular themes such as last years, “Paradise Lost,” we have a very good body of art that can be shown again at special occasions. We are most thankful to have received many works donated by generous artists, and we are especially delighted and honored to have works by some particularly outstanding artists who are highly respected in the art world, such as Ilya Bolotowsky, Judy Chicago, Yayoi Kusama, Faith Ringgold, Jerry Rudquist, Toshiko Takaezu, Ansei and Toshiko Uchima, Chuyu Uemae, (a member of the Japanese avant-garde “Gutai” group) and more. For the most part, however, they are working professionals of high talent some of whom have been already recognized, having wide exposure in the New York Art World and beyond, and some of whom we feel will be known in future years. We are following their progress with great interest. We hope that you will come to visit Part 2 of the contemporary art show this November & December that opens November 21st with the smART Brooklyn Gallery Hop with free shuttle buses throughout the borough.

Permaculture: Queens Garden Assessment and Analysis

An A and A- assess from here on the potentials.

We are renting a 100×30 lot with a tiny house in Queens that is available for collaboration in hands-on projects and teaching. Making soil, growing food, fish and indoor studio space- and make money. The space aims to be another of the many NYC urban examples of permanent culture. It’s also available as a eco-uberurban-vaca rental :). We have 6 fruit trees for pruning if you would like to teach fruit tree maintenance and health. The old pear tree (in the photo) is full of fruit yet you can see it needs care. It’s over lunch time so bring something to eat .. or there is food near by.

Permaculture: Film Screening of The Battle for Seattle

A viewing of the movie The Battle For Seattle. Co-hosted by Greg Todd and Alice Lo. To get to this address, take the #3 train to Nostrand. Walk down Nostrand toward the Banco Popular four blocks to Park Place, turn right. The format is a potluck, followed by the movie and sharing about your reactions. Please RSVP and let us know what you plan to bring. While many of the people present may consider themselves permaculturists, this event is open to all and we encourage any interested in positive change to attend. The rationale for showing this move now? The pendulum of public/movement attention is perhaps swinging back to the systemic ills of corporate globalization - and we’re curious if people are any more ready than they were 10 years ago to see international trade organizations and trade and finance agreements as a framework for converging social/ecological injustices and crises. It seemed to us that there was some mainstream awareness crystallizing around these issues before 9/11, the War in Afghanistan and the War in Iraq - despite rampant misinformation about and misinterpretation of protesters (not in small part due to the mixed messaged and diverse strategies/tactics used in the ‘movement’). We’re curious to see if people are now more able or inclined to see whole systems - and interested to know how a growing awareness of positivist strategies like permaculture will change how we pick up this thread and run with it.

We will concentrate on two chants: Friday evening’s Lecha Dodi and one based on the Ineffable Name. Opportunity to learn with Rabbi Hahn and to ask him questions about his craft. With Elijah Tucker. Hebrew Kirtan is participatory chanting where short, sacred phrases from the Jewish tradition are treated as powerful, universal meditations. It is at once contemplative, ecstatic and — simply fun.

Rethink Afghanistan screening, bike & pot luck

From the documentary film’s website: “Ending the U.S. military occupation of Afghanistan starts with getting together with our friends, neighbors and family members and discussing the costs of this misguided adventure.” Most people are confused about what is really going on with the war in Afghanistan. I found the film very clear and concise, well organized, and proving information which is strongly in defense of reevaluating our involvement in Afghanistan, especially against raising the number of troops at this time. The hosting space, Splinters and Logs has a large space and is planning one of their infamous potlucks, so bring a share if you can. Money donations will be accepted, to go to help the families of Afghan casualties. We hope to have an American Vet speak and that you can join us. There will also be a bike to the film, meeting on the BK side of the wburg bridge at 7:30pm. Graphic, may not be suitable for young viewers.

“Tribal Solace: a very ancestral thanks.

Some very special friends of yours want to extend a very special thanks to you with a secret party the night before Thanksgiving November 25th. This is meant for all of you who wish you could celebrate by dancing around the fire. It’s for everyone who wants to beat their drums in tribute to the gods. Everyone longing to be part of the ancient culture, rich with rights and rituals will find liberation here. Come honor all our tribal ancestors with this night of thanks. We all know Thanksgiving is a holiday to appreciate all the positive aspects of our lives. We also know it is a celebration in remembrance of the feast the pilgrims had after their first harvest in the new world. The pilgrims were aided greatly by the Wampanoag Indians. These people were stripped of almost everything they had down to their very identity. We want to remember and give thanks to these people and every other culture decimated by colonization and westernization. Come in tribute to these misunderstood “heathen” people. Strap on your wampum, war paint, bone jewelry, beads, loin clothes or anything that brings out your inner heathen… This is a new celebration to remember all that was lost and give thanks to ALL our tribal ancestors. All your senses will be filled with amazing art, music and performance in ways comparable to your stomach full of turkey after thanksgiving gorging. We will have a Thanksgiving dinner, drink specials, prizes and special performances before 11. This will be a night to remember and it all starts at 8 and will end very late. The festivities are going to be a limited engagement so RSVP as soon as you can to receive party information. Featuring: Sweedish Meatballs, Zack Shadetek, DJ Vingioffre, 2melo, Mickey Western +more

Filmmaker Keith Arronowitz and Souldish present: Metamorphosis- A Journey of Transformation

Ayahuasca has been used by Shamans and those they help for hundreds if not thousands of years. Found all over the Amazon, Ayahuasca and it’s incredible ability to heal has been slowly but steadily creeping into western consciousness. Metamorphosis is a documentary that follows several westerners as they undergo five Ayahuasca ceremonies and experience the gamut of emotions - from utter fear to outright ecstasy. It also explores the shamans who work with the medicine as well as all the key elements of an Ayahuasca ceremony.

In addition, tells the story of Hamilton Souther, who earlier in life had no belief of and in spirit. After having a spiritual awakening, Hamilton is led to the Amazon where he apprentices as an Ayahuascero, or person who practices medicine with Ayahuasca. Hamilton and Maestro Don Alberto (an indigenous master shaman for over thirty years that practices with Hamilton) take us through the ceremonies as well as explain the meaning behind them.

As the film progresses, we follow the journey that the participants take through the plant medicine. The difficulties of the experience are revealed as well as why each of the participants has come. Integral elements of the ceremony, such as the icaros (songs sung in ceremony) and the “purge” are explored further.

Finally, we get to see the transformations people have undergone, from physical to emotional to spiritual, after having spent more than a week with Ayahuasca. They reflect on their experiences and share what they have learned, leaving profoundly transformed from when they first arrived.

Portraying the Self Workshop w/ Alex & Allyson Grey

Few pictures through the ages are more honest or experimental than self portraits. Self portraiture can nobly and expressively convey the deepest feelings with sincerity. The mirror enables an artist to capture their most personal view of reality. The degree of comfort with which self portraits capture physical features, environmental conditions and the artist’s inner world can leave a faithful record of self scrutiny through the creative process. Facing ones moods, expressions and shadow, the artist can go beyond likeness and represent inner turmoil, inner spirit, and higher possibility. This workshop will allow the exploration of various mediums, examine the history of self-portraiture, offer immersion into the soul through self-revelation, and address philosophically the nature of the self. Course fee: $250. Materials list will be provided upon registration. Workshop begins Friday evening with arrivals from 5-7, dinner and then lecture. Saturday workshop hours go from 10am - 10pm and Sunday from 10 am- 1pm. Food is included in course fee. Limited accommodations available.
