Sun Nov 4th*
11am - Noon, Experimental Meditation Group
Is it limiting to believe that meditation is simply a form of sitting, breathing and quietude? Come join us for a meditation "open-mic" every Sunday morning and Tuesday evening in November as we explore a more expansive and experimental view of mindfulness & somatic practices. We welcome the serious and the irreverent, the traditional and the contemporary, the mundane and the imaginative. Bring a meditation or two, an open mind, and maybe a pillow if you care to sit...

Foreign Exchanges: Mediating Conflict (an artist's perspective)
with Dorit Cypis
cost: pay what you can
space is limited - please rsvp by at least one-day in advance: a[at]plus1plus1plus[dot]org
Dorit Cypis [Founder] is an artist, Masters of Fine Art, California Institute of the Arts, and a mediator, Masters of Dispute Resolution, Pepperdine University. Mining aesthetics, mediation and the somatic arts, her work explores the relationships between the psychological, the corporeal, and the political. Since the late 1970's, Cypis' museum exhibitions are immersive laboratories abstracting forms, positions, gestures, and meanings to shed light on the paradoxes of identity - while her public works/actions are social/ political extensions, mediating aesthetic abstractions into daily life. Here form truly meets function and ideology shifts back to experience. Foreign Exchanges brings together the best of her professional practices as artist, teacher and mediator.
