<p style="text-align: center;">Join us in the Manifest Nirvana Meditation Hall</p>
<p class="yiv1751943701size-15" style="text-align: center;"><span class="yiv1751943701font-montserrat">After a period of deep stillness and reflection following the passing of our beloved teacher, Andrew Cohen, we are now slowly emerging from a three-month pause. This time of silence has been both a mourning and a deep listening—a turning inward to honor the profound impact of Andrew’s life and teaching. Connected to the ongoing movement of evolutionary becoming, we are gently resuming our rhythm.</p>
<p>The weekly silent meditation at Manifest Nirvana will now continue, offering a space to commune in the vastness of the Ground of Being, to rest in the still center of all that is, and to affirm together that the flame of awakened consciousness he so passionately ignited lives on—in us, and through us.</p>
<p><strong>The local start times are:</strong></span></p>
<p class="yiv1751943701size-15" style="text-align: center;"><span class="yiv1751943701font-montserrat"><strong>8am PDT &#8211; 9am MDT &#8211; 11am EDT &#8211; 4pm UK &#8211; 5pm CEST &#8211; 8:30pm IST</strong></p>
<p>Passcode: 524222</p>
<p>We are looking forward to meeting you in the Meditation Hall of Manifest &#8211; Nirvana.</p>
<p>warm regards<br />
Manifest Nirvana Team</span></p>

OPEN STUDIO</p>
<p>315 West 39th Street   Studio 611</p>
<p>Thursday October 23th   6:00 − 10:00</p>

<p>917 838 7999</p>
<p>Artist Statement<br />
My work is a play between the conscious and the subconscious mind. My objective is to achieve a space that is intuitively balanced in light, color and motion. One that speaks to our strength, vulnerability, and our awakening within. I am fascinated with exploring the contrasts in my paintings, the transparent versus the opaque, flatness versus density, big open, loose marks versus stillness. All these disparate and yet harmonious elements together create light and reflection on the Plexiglass surface.</p>
<p>Because I paint in reverse on Plexiglass, there is always an element of surprise.  I work back and forth, painting on the back surface, examining the front surface, continuously creating layers of color and movement. I am inspired by the words of the 13th Century Sufi poet, Rumi, “out beyond wrong doing and right doing there is a field of luminous consciousness.  I’ll meet you there.”</p>
