Conscious Movie Night- HOTEL RWANDA (oakland hills / mills)

2009-11-15T17:57:55-08:00

Enjoy great films? Enjoy discussing movies with others?
Then you will love Conscious Movie Night...
~Join Us!~

We've got yet another inspiring movie ahead, on Friday, November 20th, Hotel Rwanda.

If you have not yet seen this film, this is a great opportunity to watch it with us. If you've seen it already, I invite you to experience it once again. With our conversation and reflection that follows the film, each one is given further introspection and understanding that's personal and moving. Starring Don Cheadle, this film is heart wrenching, eye opening and profound. It is a stunning representation of light and life amidst a dark and horrendous world. The spirit of this main character, in opening his arms as the world crumbles and caves in around him, is moving and inspiring. You can find the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2vMvyQeb1U
If you have ever walked out of a movie theater affected by a powerful film, movie nights at the Center of Light are for you... These events provide a way for people to talk about inspiring movies on a deeper level and how they affect our lives, our attitudes, our perceptions.
Popcorn will be served...
Bring a friend... We look forward to seeing you then

Learn to speak Japanese and cook Japanese food! (concord / pleasant hill / martinez)

2009-11-15T17:18:17-08:00

Greetings Everyone,

I am offering classes in Pleasant Hill for both the language and cooking style of Japan. I am a native of Japan and received my M.A. in linguistics. I have been teaching at college level for 5 years around bay area.
This would be extremely useful for business purposes, if you are planning to travel there, or just want to learn a new language. Please read below for further details and hopefully we can meet soon. My availability is opening up starting in December, when I will be available in the evenings with the exception of Wednesday and Thursday.

Language Tutoring:

It is possible to hold up to 6 people for group tutoring. This is a good way to practice real life situations with other people, and I would like to see what type of interest this generates. Private one-on-one tutoring is also available. Please respond with your experience level, best available times, and whether you prefer group or private sessions.

Private: $30/hour
2-4 People: $20/hour
5-6 People: $15/hour

Japanese Cooking:

The cuisine of my home country is not only delicious but fun to create also. Due to the size of my kitchen, cooking lessons will be limited to 2 people at a time. For a 4 week program that meets once per week, the cost will be $100-$125 which includes the price of ingredients. It depends on how specific you want the food to be and how available the components are. My recommended dishes would be temaki (conical hand rolls), sushi, okonomiyaki (grilled savory pancake), tempura, miso soup, tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), and some smaller dishes also.

Email me with all your questions and availability so we can work something out. I look forward to meeting you! Arigatoo Gozaimasu!

Post Holiday workshop: Restorative Yoga (berkeley)

2009-11-15T12:03:06-08:00

Restorative Yoga Workshop: slowing down in gratitude

The beginning of the Holiday season can bring both joy and stress in our lives. This workshop is specifically offered on Thanksgiving weekend to give a moment to slow down, to let go in fully supported postures with deep relaxation. This gives both the mind and body time to rejuvenate.
In this workshop we will hold comfortable postures for long periods of time with props as support. Individual attention and suggestions will be given.
It�s recommended to bring extra clothing for warmth and a personal eye pillow.

This workshop is open to all levels and held at 7th Heaven Wellness Center in Berkeley. 1:30pm-3:30pm

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE meeting: A NIGHT OF CHANNELING (berkeley)

2009-11-15T12:01:55-08:00

East Bay Int. Assn. for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) presents:

NDEr & Medium Lawrence Furman:

A NIGHT OF CHANNELING

Monday, November 23, 2009, 7:30-9:30 PM
BFUU, 1924 Cedar Street, Berkeley

(NOTE: This meeting will be held in the wheelchair-accessible, first floor BFUU Fellowship Hall on the corner of Cedar and Bonita.)

Dear Friend of IANDS,

For many near-death experiencers, the NDE isn�t just a confirmation of eternal life, but a source of wisdom as to how to live this life, one that involves the knowledge that we are never alone, that unseen spirits accompany us.

Our speaker this month � in our final meeting of this year � has been channeling spirits for almost two decades. Lawrence Furman has had three NDE�s, and will speak about them, but we�re going to devote most of the meeting to a live channeling session.

Says Lawrence, �The Great Spirit�out of whom all our souls emerged -provides each of us with help and guidance along the way in the form of spirit guides. Imbued with personality and as alive as we are, these benevolent beings that live in the bodiless domains of the spirit world, further their own evolution by helping us deal with the rigors of human life. As spirits ourselves, we interact with them whether we know it or not.�

Despite a troubled childhood, Lawrence recalls out-of-body experiences at a young age. �In the vastness of that limitless realm,� he says, �from somewhere beyond the Earth, I witnessed massive fiery stars, starred in awe at our beautiful planet moving across the face of the sun, and exhilarated in the joy of flying.�

After three NDE�s, he says �I came to experience myself, all of us really, not as various identities defined by our bodies or the collections of thoughts we carry in our heads, but as eternal spirits, no different than the wonderful beings I met on the other side.�

After a soul-trying period of life, in 1992 Lawrence went to Hawaii for a retreat. During a period of prayer, something unexpected happened. �Another inner doorway opened guiding my awareness into an intensely focused trance,� he remembers. �Then, day and night, for more than a week, my body became a gathering place for a myriad of spirits.�

Says Lawrence, �The angst that delivered me to Hawaii had disappeared, replaced by feelings of astonishment, awe, and wonder. Upon my return stateside, repeated visits from many of these same spirits enticed me to begin channeling, allowing their very tangible yet unseen presence to use my senses to communicate to others their unique and fascinating perspective.�

While Lawrence says he does not know what spirits will come through in any channeling session, their communication is always understanding and compassionate.

�Rather than rescue us or try to solve our problems, the spirits that come through me as a medium seek to empower us by offering alternate views that give rise to new more imaginative choices. Accessing their wisdom enables us, as humans, to more easily see difficulties as stepping-stones to greater mastery, and challenges as preludes to inspiration.�

Come join us for a very special experience!

East Bay IANDS monthly meeting are open to near-death experiencers and non-experiencers alike. A $7-$10 donation is requested to help pay for rent and expenses; no one turned away.

You are encouraged to bring refreshments for sharing!

Beginning Shamanic Journey (oakland east)

2009-11-15T11:35:55-08:00

Beginning Shamanic Journey opens a door of perception introducing you safely and purposely to the spirit world. Using the sacred drumbeat and guided visualization we first create a safe starting place and then seek the help and energy of our power animals and the wisdom of our guiding entities.

The shamanic journey is an ancient and time honored way to affirm your connection to life and spirit. We are all naturally and powerfully connected spiritual beings with the innate ability to reach into the realm of intuition and creation. This includes the ability to "hear" or "see" images or messages from spiritual sources. Shamanic Journey can be used for getting advice, healing, exploring stuck or blank places, answering questions about what to do, affirming or defining your unique nature, changing energy or habits, or looking into the future, to name a few.

This meeting takes about 2 hours. There will be time for sharing after if you want to stay.

Karmic Clearing and Empowerment with Animal spirits and 7 breaths (oakland east)

2009-11-15T11:23:20-08:00

This day long intensive is a strong spiritual clearing process followed by simple and powerful tools for purposeful life change.

When Saturday November 21 at 9:30 am to 4:00 pm
Where: 10700 Stella st., Oakland, CA 94605 510-914-1425

Karmic release and clearing allows you the freedom to choose clarity and ease now. lt is a ritualistic cleansing of old vows, unshakable connections to people and debts of the spirit, conscious or unconscious. Are you leading a life that seems like it belongs to someone else? Are you ill? Are you simply stuck and can't figure out why?Does it seem like you carry out promises or behaviors that are not meaningful or useful to you?
We can not always identify these patterns and promises or their source.
They can be cleared anyway.
Results include: a feeling of relief, lightness, and autonomy; the reclaiming of choice and power about situations and relationships. Decisions and thinking can become easier. You feel like you are guiding your own life again. Unwanted and sometimes unexplained habits shift . Body relaxes and illness can disappear.

Empowerment with animal spirits: Redesign your sense of power and ability from a point of view you may not have ever considered. We each create the flavor and direction of life in each moment. Let the energy of animal spirit helpers influence your perspective. Look to increase your sense of effectiveness and success. You will become acquainted with the specific flavor of power you naturally carry in your legs, belly, heart, mind etc.

7 Breaths paves the way toward change--any change: Immediate or long term. Using the voice and the body we choose and then affirm a chosen direction. Something to release or something to invite into reality. When we shift belief and perspective, then behavior changes and the desired results begin to occur.
What do you want to invite into your life? Financial ease? Happiness? Health? Emotional ease? What do you want to release? Fears? Stuck Places? Stress? Outdated behavior or beliefs? This purposeful breathing method puts you at cause and affirms your role as creator of your life.

More on 7 Breaths: 7 Breaths is a method of intentional breathing to create ease, change, success and healing. It is easy to learn and can then be practiced in 2-10 minutes a day with remarkable results.
We experience the simple theory and practice of breathing with intention. This invites clarity, health and specific life changes chosen by you.
More on Karmic release: Karma or karmic debt is a concept that is believed and taught by almost every culture on the planet. Simply put, it is the idea that we get back everything we put out into the world, and that we have no choice but to keep engaged until balance is achieved. For instance if you have behaved badly toward someone, or even have had bad thoughts, that you are at the mercy of an automatically responsive universe that will give you something equal in return, or that you must repay bad behavior by engaging in good behavior.
Most people you ask will agree with this concept in some form.
As creators of course, our belief in this concept makes it true. Also we engage in promises to ourselves and to others and in the belief that we owe debts to specific people, and that we are bound involuntarily to the decisions or drama of certain people. Of course since we are creators our belief makes this true also.
We do not always remember these connections, promises, or interactions.
They can be cleared anyway.

Repeating the process: This process is powerful and the changes can be noticed for days or weeks. The effects can be permanent. People however, respond differently. Once is effective and you can also decide to repeat these classes to strengthen your connection to the material

Children 11 to 15 are welcome with a parent present. Please call to discuss the younger ones.

When Saturday November 21 at 9:30 am to 4:00 pm
Where: 10700 Stella st., Oakland, CA 94605 510-914-1425
Please RSVP on the Meetup site or by phone. I would also be happy to talk with you and answer any further questions. 831 915 5182.
Meetup link: http://www.meetup.com/The-Monterey-Metaphysics-Meetup-Group/calendar/11822754/
Cost: I ask 65.00 per person. Please call me if this represents a difficulty for you.
Bring a friend and get 10.00 off.
What to bring: a note pad and pen, comfortable clothes and a light lunch

FREE Financial Freedom Seminar

Get ready to take control of your life...

Today's economy has given new meaning to having financial security. With Rising fuel and food prices, growing unemployment and the ballooning mortgage crisis, for the millions of families who struggle every day to stay afloat in this rocky economy - times are tough. It is clear that to survive in this world today, one must re-invent themselves and build multiple streams of income. With job openings few and far in between, some are finding the best road to employment is starting their own business.

Today a new group of people are emerging. They are the new professionals, the Entrepreneurs. This group of people consists of both young and old, affluent and humble, all of them possess one common creed: They desire to take control of their financial situation to create and fulfill their dreams on their own terms. They desire the freedom that owning a business can bring; the freedom of setting their own hours and the flexibility to work from home rather than enduring the long commute to a job. Entrepreneurs have a realization that when they work for someone else, there is always an artificially imposed ceiling (or limit) that is put on their lifestyle. This ceiling limits your productivity, income and freedom. When you work for yourself, however, the artificial ceiling vanishes; there are no limits to your success. And Rel￬v wants to show them how to make that happen.

This is your chance to learn from the leaders who know best why Reliv is the ideal entrepreneurial opportunity for today. If you want to see firsthand the limitless possibilities of the Reliv opportunity and why right now is the ideal time to seize it, you'll want to make sure you're there.

UC Berkeley Regents' Lecture: Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia Founder

Saturday, December 5, 7:30pm-9:00pm, Berkeley

MORE INFO: http://bcnm.berkeley.edu

"Welcome to the New World", Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia

Mr. Wales discusses the history and impact of Wikipedia globally, as well as current trends on the Internet and his work at Wikia.

Jimmy Wales is an American Internet entrepreneur best known for founding the Wikimedia Foundation, the charity which operates Wikipedia.org, and the company Wikia, Inc., which operates Wikia.com.

Wales received his Bachelor's degree in finance from Auburn University and his Master's in finance from University of Alabama. He was appointed a fellow of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School in 2005 and in 2006, he joined the Board of Directors of the non-profit organization Creative Commons.

In January of 2001, Wales started Wikipedia.org, the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit and today Wikipedia and its sister projects are among the top-five most visited sites on the web (comScore, January 2009). In mid-2003, Wales set up the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization to support Wikipedia.org. The Foundation, now based in downtown San Francisco, has a staff of close to thirty focusing on fundraising, technology, and programming relating to the expansion of Wikipedia. Wales now sits on the board of trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, and as founder continues to act as a key spokesperson.

In 2004, Wales co-founded Wikia, Inc., a for-profit company that enables groups of people to share information and opinions that fall outside the scope of an encyclopedia.

In 2007, The World Economic Forum recognized Wales as one of the "Young Global Leaders." In addition, Wales received the "Time 100 Award" in 2006, as he was named one of the world's most influential people in the "Scientists & Thinkers" category.

Mr. Wales' UC Regents Lecture is presented by the UC Berkeley Center for New Media (BCNM).

Ayyappa Mandala Puja - Livermore Shiva Vishnu Temple (dublin / pleasanton / livermore)

2009-11-14T10:30:15-08:00
Ayyappasamaaj of San Francisco Bay Area (http://www.ayyappasamaaj.org/) will grandly celebrate its Annual Ayyappa Mandala Puja at the The Shiva Vishnu Temple, Livermore between Nov 15th and Dec 25th, 2009.

With the grace of Lord Ayyappa we are ready to begin this year's Mandalam season on Nov 15th. We invite you, your family, and your friends to come participate in the planned devotional activities and receive the grace of Lord Ayyappa. If you are planning to wear mala this season to observe viratham and/ or take Irumudi, please let us know in advance.
The months of Kaartika / Vrishchika, Maargazhi / Dhanur are most auspicious for Lord Ayyappa, during which period Mandala Puja is celebrated. Devotees observe traditional austerities (vratham), which normally start from the first day of Kaartika/ Vrishchikam (November 15). Devotees initiate the vratham by wearing a Thulasi or a Rudraksha mala. After 41 days (on December 25th) the devotees end their vratham by carrying Irumudi and removing the mala. (Kids can observe short vratham days by wearing mala on December 19th and end it on December 25th). Irumudi is a cloth bag with two compartments containing offerings for the Lord.

Nov 15 5pm - Mandalam begins with Sankalpam, Mala Dharana, Abishekam, Archana, and Bhajans followed by Dinner Prasadam
Dec 19 5 PM Mala Dharana for kids followed by Bhajans and Aarathi
Nov 21, 28, Dec 5, 12 - Weekly Bhajan on Saturdays at 6pm followed by Aarti �
Dec 25 9 AM - Mandalam ends with Irumudi Puja, Abishekam, Archana, and Bhajans followed by Lunch Prasadam

This is an excellent opportunity for children to learn Ayyappa bhajans and sing them during the Puja. We will be performing Irumudi Puja on December 25th. Last year we had over 20 Ayyappas do the Irumudi Puja (including over 10 children)

- Please participate with your family on Nov 15 and Dec 25
- Please bring your children to learn Ayyappa bhajans on Saturdays (Nov 21, 28, Dec 5, 12)
- Please forward this email with the attached flyer to at least five of your friends and family. Ask them to sign for Ayyappasamaaj Yahoo Groups. (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ayyappasamaaj/join)
- If you are interested in taking vrutham (deeksha) this year, please contact us immediately. We can provide you with Thulasi Mala to begin your vrutham. Several other activities are planned as well and we'll update you as we go along.

Please help spread the word by forwarding this to your friends.For more information, please visit the temple web site at http://livermoretemple.org

"What is Utopian becomes... the commitment to imagining possible Utopias as such, in their greatest variety of forms." - Fredric Jameson, 2005

The world is far from perfect; this we know. Yet dreams of perfection surround us. Why is it that we can't help dreaming of a world without inequity, a world in which tyrants find themselves transformed into saints and everyone has enough to eat?

The Utopian Spirit animates novels and revolutionary manifestoes, separatist enclaves and cultural gatherings in the high desert. One might even go so far as to say that it is a defining characteristic of modernity. But as the macropolitics of the new world order make it increasingly difficult to imagine radically different futures, we are beginning to see new manifestations of utopian desire: modest eddies of local autonomy in the global flow of hegemonic power.

Mark Tribe is an artist and occasional curator whose interests include art, technology, and politics. His artwork has been exhibited at Toronto's Trinity Square Video, New York's Park Avenue Armory and Moscow's National Center for Contemporary Art.He has organized curatorial projects for the New Museum of Contemporary Art, MASS MoCA, and inSite_05. He is the co-author, with Reena Jana, of The Port Huron Project: Reenactments of New Left Protest Speeches (Charta, 2010), and New Media Art (Taschen, 2006). He is Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media Studies at Brown University, where he teaches courses on digital art, curating, open-source culture, radical media, and surveillance. In 1996, he founded Rhizome, an organization that supports the creation, presentation, preservation, and critique of emerging artistic practices that engage technology. He received a MFA in Visual Art from the University of California, San Diego in 1994 and a BA in Visual Art from Brown University in 1990. http://marktribe.net

�The ODD COUPLE� FEMALE VERSION (fremont / union city / newark)

2009-11-13T19:43:00-08:00
Fremont, California, November 12, 2009. The female version of The Odd Couple will have a limited-performance run at Washington High School (WHS) on December 4th, 5th, 10th and 11th.

This is Neil Simon's famous comedy with a new twist. In the 1980s, Simon re-wrote his classic play to be about two divorced women.

Olive and Florance (previously Oscar and Felix) are now divorced and forced to share an apartment together in New York, despite their vastly different habits. Conflict and hilarity ensue as they try to hook up with two sexy Spanish men from their building.

The play has some adult themes and language, so it is not suitable for small children.

This performance kicks off the starting of The Washington High School Theater Season. WHS will have two more productions in the coming school year.

Washington High School dramatic programs have won many awards in the Ohlone College High School Theater Festival from 2002 to the Present. WHS is also a part of the Educational Theater Association: International Thespian Society.

This is a student run event, with students in all classes participating in the production and performance. The Technical Director is Drydan Lafferty, Stage Manager is Shana Bishop and Production Manager is Rachael Kahn.

Evening performances are December 4th, 5th, 10th and 11th at 7pm. Matinee and Understudy performance is on Saturday, December 5th at 2pm. All performances are done in the Drama Room at Washington High School.

The cast stars many rising actresses and actors:

Kim Chatterjee plays Olive, Haley Wilks- Florance, Kimberly Dutrow- Sylvie, Kristan Topham- Mickey, Sarah Kowalski- Renee, Lindsay McCarger- Vera, Lorenzo Domingue- Jesus Costazuela, Andre Vernot- Monolo Costazuela.

Understudies are Lindsay McCarger- Olive, Sarah Kowalski- Florance, Alex Drachnik- Renee, Jessica Watson- Vera, Joshua Laquian- Monolo Costazuela.

GUITAR FRETBOARD GEOGRAPHY: Scales, (berkeley)

2009-11-13T15:33:02-08:00
The guitar is a very visual instrument, and the majority of self taught players (most of us, including myself when I was younger) see the guitar in terms of the chord shapes, riffs, and patterns that we've picked up along the way...

This Fretboard "Geography" system is, in laypersons' terms, the most guitar-oriented, visual, efficient, comprehensive way to learn how to fully understand the fretboard of your guitar (or bass), as well as play lead guitar/solo, and see all the options for what to play over a set of chord changes. (Including "all that theory stuff!") Any level of player can work on this, but it's perfect for beginner/intermediate to advanced players, who are looking to "fill in the gaps" in their knowledge of the instrument. (Or if you're a very analytical beginner guitarist, you can start from square one with this.)

About Fretboard Geography:
"Fretboard Geography," without cutting any corners, puts the whole diatonic/modal soloing concept into guitarist terms. (fingerings, shapes, riffs). I learned this from Jack Pezenalli, a long-time professor in the guitar department at Berklee School of Music in Boston. It breaks the fretboard into 7 "scale forms." (fingering patterns) Once you learn those 7 basic forms, I'll show you a bit of trickery by which your fretboard becomes your "answer key," and you can nearly instantly start soloing against changes using every modal color (and rock/blues/pentatonic licks) in every position on the neck, in any key, in any context.

Just to give you an idea of how this is a time saver: You don't have to learn all 12 keys or all 7 modes as separate concepts... 12 major keys X 7 modes = a lot of dry memorization, that's entirely comprised of completely redundant work. (on our instrument)

You just need to learn the 7 "scale forms" and understand a few other basic concepts, and it's all application/fun from there on...
- Playing against chord progressions: Rock, Jazz, Country, Blues, Latin, Funk, Jamband... you name it...
- Arpeggios and dexterity exercises (learning to "shred") within your genre(s) of choice.
- Starting to dig deeper into the theory behind chords, intervals, harmony, voice leading, ear training, etc. (only if you're interested in "going there.")
- Going over your favorite songs/solos etc, (or your songs?) and analyzing what your favorite bands/players were doing and how to work that into your sound - Hide quoted text -

Point is, you get the dry memorization over with between lesson one and two, then it gets really cool, really fast. (as long as you practice, of course)

Nearly all guitar theory/method books (and many teachers) start by explaining diatonic/modal playing and lead guitar in general it in "piano"/theoretical terms. They put the primary focus on what mode has a lowered third etc, and only then bringing it back to fretboard of the guitar. This method of teaching makes sense for a pianist, wind instrument player, or in a theory class with multiple instruments, but it makes very little sense for a modern guitar player looking to expand his or her skill set.

**If you're reading this and know nothing about theory, this "modal" and "diatonic" stuff is essentially just a lot more options you can learn for a solo or lead line. Useful Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_mode
**Understanding the instrument and understanding every nuance and detail of music theory are two different things. This system will, within a few lessons (if you put in the practice), get you to the point where you'll see every option for a melodic phrase or solo (blues based and all modes) in every position on the neck in every context. It's not the whole ball of wax, but it's 98% of what you need to be a modern guitar player in any style.** (unless your goal is to be a sight reading session player).
-Yes, this is like the Caged system but much more comprehensive and efficient.

What about the Blues?
In the greater context of guitar playing, ignoring the pentatonic/rock/blues based side of modern soloing/lead would be a mistake, since you can get a lot of mileage out of those licks too. We'll go there as well, unless you already feel comfortable with your current "bag of tricks." If nothing else, we'll see where the two intersect on the fretboard, learning how to play hybrid diatonic/pentatonic licks, etc. This modal business is just the other side of the coin. This diatonic system (based on the 7-tone major scale, not a blues/rock/5-note scales) is the heart of all Western melodic playing on any instrument. These modal colors sound very cool... everything from bright and upbeat to dark and dissonant.

Me:
I'm a a full time teacher (Mon-Sat, afternoons and evenings) and touring player with a BA in music. In addition to my guitar studies with Jack Pez., I also studied (and played) for 3 years in college with "jazz" legend, Yusef Lateef. I teach @ my NW Downtown Berkeley studio. It's 3 blocks from North Berkeley BART, and parking is never a problem here. (Honestly, it's a parking oasis!) All styles & levels welcome. Ages 12+. Student and senior discounts available plus additional discounts for prepayment of multiple lessons. House calls negotiable.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope to hear from you soon.
