I’m Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) where we study and teach A Course in Miracles and meditation under the guidance of CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki. I’m also a multi-disciplinary artist and curator/producer of music, dance, theater, film and visual arts events and the organizer of the Sufi Dance NYC meetup group. You can explore my music/dance/theater performance photography and video here.
