Doreya Karim (Day 1 Talk 3):

"Immunity In The Age Of Information"
Doreya Karim is the director and vice-president of BioGeometry Energy Systems Ltd. Within this role, Doreya manages the BioGeometry research and product development team directly under BioGeometry founder, Dr. Ibrahim Karim, and has had the opportunity to head several BioGeometry research and application projects in the fields of animal farming, architecture, and design. 

Since she began teaching in 2015, Doreya has taught over 30 classes in 6 countries aimed at introducing the principles of the BioGeometry "Physics of Quality" a multidimensional form of Pythagorean Universal Harmonics, which provides a scientific basis to approach and classify all the different sensory experiences affecting biological systems and their effect on life functions. This has created a qualitative vibrational language that allows cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration between subtle energy vibrational sciences, helping to lead the way to what we hope is a new era of understanding of the universal multi-dimensional unified human-environmental energy system. 

Doreya's current research and application has helped achieve a sustainable solution for raising chemical, antibiotic-free chickens in Canada as well as research on using shapes to lower low leukocyte counts in dairy farming. Ongoing research in BioGeometry is focused on how classroom design affects the functioning of children with Autism and ADHD.

John Lamont Ramsey spent 33 years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. With his legal team by his side, it was uncovered that the NYPD and Brooklyn District Attorneys office withheld exculpatory evidence during his trial that proved his innocence. After submitting a motion to overturn his conviction to clear his name, he remains focused on his justice that lingers in the balance and the time is now to launch a movement for us to be the voices of the wrongfully convicted to join the criminal justice reform.

A History of the Irish in Greenpoint: A talk by Geoffrey Cobb in association with the New York Irish History Roundtable

Gallery AWA presents a talk on Greenpoint’s Irish History. Although Greenpoint is largely known as a historically polish area, there all tell tale signs in the landscape that point to an Irish past - names like McGuinness Boulevard and McCarren park point to Greenpoint’s forgotten Irish history. Originally coming from Ireland to work in the docklands, Greenpoint once housed a substantial Irish working class community.

Hear stories about Irish American characters who shaped the landscape such as Greenpoint’s first family - the tug boat kings from Co. Antrim - the McAllister family and Peter McGuinness - the last Tammany Hall style ward boss - a beloved political figure who ruled Greenpoint for decades, as well as stories about legendary Irishmen and women such as revolutionary leader Thomas Clarke who lived in Greenpoint for a time before making their way home to Ireland.

The New York Irish History Roundtable is an organisation that promotes interest in and exploration of the 300-year history of people of Irish heritage in New York City, with a focus on discovering family history and encouraging historical understanding. Find out more about their events and work here http://www.irishnyhistory.org/

Gallery AWA is delighted to welcome back Geoffrey Cobb, who will be giving this talk. Mr. Cobb has been a history teacher in the New York City Public School system for more than two decades.  Presently teaching at the High School for Service and Learning on the famous Erasmus Hall campus, he is also a prominent local historian, walking tour guide and the author of two books; Greenpoint’s Forgotten Past - the first history of the area published in almost a century and The King of Greenpoint a biography of Irish American political leader Peter J. McGuinness.

The Latent Properties of Light

Treat Your Building as a Patient - Cliff Yahnke

Course Description: This presentation will describe the role of the environment in Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAI’s). It will specifically focus on the Operating Room and the concerns unique to that setting. Methods for improving environmental hygiene will be reviewed with attention given to a new class of solution whole room disinfection. The use of this solution in the Operating Room will be presented examining the relevant details between the two primary categories (continuous vs. episodic).

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, participants will:

  1. Identify the types of Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) and their collective impact upon the US healthcare system.
  2. Explain how infections can be acquired through the built environment.
  3. Describe the range of solutions to improve environmental hygiene which are available to healthcare providers.
  4. List the characteristics of specification-grade light fixtures that can reduce the spread of pathogens within the environment.
  5. Recognize the benefits of continuous environmental disinfection and the areas within a healthcare setting where it is best used.

 

The Latent Properties of Light- Abhay Wadhwa

Course Description: As we approach 2020, the lighting design and applications field has undergone a sea-change in technology options available to the design professional. Over the past 20 odd years, there has been tremendous rise in the understanding of light as a form of energy with latent properties that impact our health and well-being, besides providing light levels for visual acuity and reading. No longer are we discussing whether the fluorescent lamp flickers or CFL end-of-life problems, or color shifts in MH lamps. We are discussing biophilic design solutions, and usage of light to reduce stress and alleviate mental health issues, while designing with a better understanding of the disruptive harmonics and energy fields created by lighting controls. This course will cover many of the lesser spoken about topics in lighting, and help a design professional to truly harness the power of light.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, participants will:

  1. Its not just about Footcandles anymore. Participants will be introduced to the newer terms like Circadian Stimulus,  EMF, and Biophilic Light Responses (BLRs).
  2. Participants will learn to isolate all components of the lighting system, and thereby get a better understanding of sympathetic interplay of components.
  3. Participants will learn how to reduce stress by using wavelengths and frequencies of light.
  4. Participants will also be introduced to Circadian Stimulus (CS) and how we can determine what is good amount of CS at what time.

Experiences with the Hypnagogic Light

Exclusive Event- 2-3 Seats per 15 minute Experience (walk-ins welcome)

Featuring the Lucia N°03 light experience. Join us as we come together, opening our hearts and minds, celebrated through experiencing the Hypnagogic light at Gallery AWA.

You can experience the Lucia N°03 either by yourself (together) or with a friend/lover (pair). Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time.

Suggested Donation of $20 per Experience with Cacao and Kombucha Available for Purchase

 

About the Lucia N°03

The Lucia N°03 gently entrains the brain, stimulates the pineal gland and opens up a beautiful space for visionary exploration. The Lucia N°03 helps clear the mind and allow even beginning meditators to reach a space of peace quickly. It is not a replacement for a meditation practice but quite the opposite - it encourages people to meditate by realizing how powerful the practice can be and gives them the confidence (and roadmap) to get there on their own. As the Lucia is both a stimulation (through light), and a relaxation (through brain entrainment), it helps the individual learn to let go in stressful situations, rather than resist and make things even more difficult. The Lucia N°03 also uses a wide spectrum of light which has been reported to have a great impact for people with both seasonal affective disorder and other types of depression.

As our energetic system is so deeply intertwined, of course the Lucia does more than simply work with the mind and ajna chakra. We are beings of light and all of our cells communicate through light (this is just being confirmed now by molecular biologists). The Lucia N°03 activates this light system and it spreads through the body, moving energy along the nadis, clearing blocks and lighting up the whole system. We are currently offering light for the different chakras as well, especially the heart and and solar plexus. For those who are can feel energy, this is quite an experience!

The Lucia light experience is different for each person, as it works with each person's individual system and has a balancing effect. The Lucia N°03 is a cosmic mirror that helps us look within to admire the unique beauty of our consciousness.

 

About Cacao

Cacao is a potent superfood and antioxidant. It helps reduce inflammation, boost levels of serotonin, improve circulation to your brain, reset your metabolism and offer a deep relaxation. Cacao supports you, it helps you open your heart and embrace life, living with ease and self-love for yourself and the world.

Gallery AWA presents The Phantom Wall; The Pervasive Politics of Prejudice, an exhibition by Jorge Cruz in collaboration with AWA Lighting Designers. The opening reception will be Saturday October 7th, 6-8pm. 

The Phantom Wall is a wall made of light that represents the walls we carry inside our heads; it stands as a physical and ideological symbol of division and personal stagnation. Jorge Cruz and Gallery AWA are delighted to collaborate on realizing a physical representation and discursive space for a topic matter that is unfortunately of utmost social pertinence, and would like to invite the public to engage in this discussion upon The Phantom Wall’s opening.

Mbira (the name of the instrument and the music) is mystical music which has been played for over a thousand years. Originally used in spirit possession ceremonies, the iron-pronged mbira, produces music, rhythmically charged enough to keep people dancing through all-night ceremonies. It is believed that the beauty of the music attracts the ancestors’ spirits. Join us for an evening of ceremonial mbira music, a gathering to connect us with our ancestors. Immerse yourself in Zimbabwean culture!

If you can talk
You can sing
If you can walk
You can dance
Or you just sit
And reflect to the intricate beauty of the music

Book Reading by Geoffrey Cobb

We are very excited to host a reading this Saturday from the new book 'The King of Greenpoint' by local Greenpoint author Geoffrey Cobb. 

About The Book:
Peter J. McGuinness (1888-1948) ran Greenpoint as the last Tammany Hall style ward boss in New York City. Never having attended high school, McGuinness started out life as a longshoreman and amateur boxer, but entered politics at the end of World War I because of his frustration with the local political machine. Elected Alderman in a shocking result, McGuinness became perhaps the most colorful legislator in the history of New York City law making. McGuinness endeared himself to his constituents through his legislative accomplishments, service, charity and above all amazing Joie de vivre and humor.

About the Author:
Geoffrey Cobb is a Brooklyn high school history teacher with more than two decades of experience. Mr. Cobb has lived in Greenpoint and studied its history for almost a quarter century. A licensed tour guide who gives local history walking tours, Mr. Cobb is also the author of the popular local blog: http://historicgreenpoint.wordpress.com
