ATTENDING EVENTS AND GATHERINGS
Inner Fields is located in a private studio in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. To be notified of future events, please add your information HERE.
Events and gatherings are intimate and small and space is very limited. To attend any event you will need to RSVP. Once your space is confirmed, you will receive an email with the address and any further information you'll need. There is often a waiting list, so if you find you are unable to attend your event, please email innerfieldsnyc@gmail.com so I can offer your place to another participant.
Inner Fields is structured on principles of generosity and reciprocity and most events are offered on a donation basis. All donations received are used to support the space and pay the artists, musicians, teachers and healers who offer their knowledge and inspiration to the community. Please give as much as you feel comfortable, and for those who are able to offer a little more, this will help cover those who may not be able to afford as much. We greatly appreciate your support.
Thank you for being a part of Inner Fields.
Current and Upcoming Events
DECEMBER 2015
Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and Destiny: The Heroine's Journey - with Dr. Grace Hogstad
7.30pm, Wednesday December 30
Suggested donation $15/ $20
This presentation by Dr Grace Hogstad from Pacifica Graduate Institute will look at the idea of destiny as seen through the life and work of psychologist Carl Jung and mythologist Joseph Campbell. Using both the theoretical approach of Depth Psychology and elements of memoir from her childhood growing up in poverty in the Philippines, Dr Grace Hogstad will offer a feminist lens to the archetypal paradigm of the hero or heroine’s journey, which is ultimately the search for self-realization.
JANUARY 2016
Qi Gong and Breakfast - with Taganyahu Swao
9.30am, Saturday January 9
Suggested donation $15/ $20
Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese practice which combines physical postures with meditative breath work to cultivate the flow of qi or 'vital life force' through the body. It is often practiced in conjunction with various martial arts as a way to focus intention, but it is also a healing practice which increases vitality and stamina, reduces stress, and promotes positive introspection. Qi Gong is best performed early in the morning when Yang Qi is strongest, so this will be a Saturday morning breakfast and Qi Gong session with martial artist and acupuncturist, Taganyahu Swao.
Thiago Thiago de Mello: Amazônia Subterrânea
7.30pm, Friday January 15
Suggested donation $15/ $20
Brazilian composer Thiago Thiago de Mello will be coming to Inner Fields to perform his beautiful and powerful songs about the sounds, myths, legends and stories of the Amazon Rainforest, where the songwriter grew up and continues to return each year. From a family of artists, poets and musicians, Thiago Thiago de Mello "combines Brazil's rich literary traditions and African-inspired rhythms, such as samba, forró and pagode, with jazz, rock and electronica" (Tim Wilkins, WBGO). This intimate performance at Inner Fields will be an invitation to a journey inside the Amazon Rainforest, with food and stories to share. Click here to RSVP...
