What is Reiki?
The word “Reiki” has already existed in the late 19th century in Japan to describe Spiritual Life Force Energy that is applied for healing.
Man called Dr. Usui established a method to gather that life force energy after rigorous spiritual and buddhism studies and practices. He had a healing clinic and helped a number of people. Dr. Usui and his disciples established the Reiki treatment method over the years.
Now, more and more people are attuned to Reiki and experiencing it. Because Reiki is not like an organized Religion, it’s interpreted much more freely and adapted to global cultures, it does feel more flexible.
Similar healing methods have been in existence for ages all over the world wherever human cultures exist.
Many manuals mention that Reiki is Uni-versal but plenty of people who experience Reiki feel Multi- versal realities. The way that accesses your past and future, places, other-worldly visions and sensations in a moment shows us that Reiki is about limitless potential.

About Daria
Born in Kyoto, grew up in Yokohama, Japan.
I spent my youth days admiring modern art and daydreaming. Plenty of years have passed since I moved to the US.
I started to study Reiki when we all had chaotic experiences in the US, especially in NYC in 2001. When I joined a group session for the very first time, as soon as a Reiki practitioner started run the Reiki, I felt a jolt of electric current and vision of a spark flying out of my chest area. I became more curious to find what that’s all about and eventually got certified as a Reiki master/teacher in 2002. Over the years, I have added Kundalini Reiki, Green Tara Seichim, Silver Violet Flame, and Access Bars and other energy works to my practice.
When I’m not doing energy work, I like to cook, bake, ferment, forage, homebrew and balcony gardening. Check out my Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dariaarao/

2024-10-24 09:00 - 13:00
Madison Square Park Conservancy stewards a treasured New York City green space, distinguished for its vibrant public art program. Since 2004, fifty artists who exemplify the soaring expanse of human creativity have realized breakout commissions—accessible to all in a democratic context.
On the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the art program, the Conservancy’s annual symposium, Advancing Public Art, considers the exhibitions in the park that inspire more than 60,000 daily visitors in a range of political, social, environmental, economic, and creative themes realized through figuration, abstraction, sound and video work, performance, augmented reality, architectural pavilions, and social practice engagement. In panel discussions and dialogues, the symposium invites alumni artists to reflect on their projects in the park, describe their intense involvement with publicness, and discuss whether a commission in a New York City civic space has advanced their work in unexpected ways.
The program is free and open to all, and will be held at the SVA Theatre (333 West 23rd Street). Advancing Public Art is made possible by generous support from the Henry Luce Foundation.
Please RSVP by emailing rsvp@madisonsquarepark.org or by using the button below.

Artist Nicole Eisenman (b. 1965, France) realizes Fixed Crane, centering a decommissioned, toppled 1969 Link-Belt crane lain across the park’s Oval Lawn.

A longtime NYC resident, Eisenman questions cycles of movement in urban space and how the human condition is central to ongoing urban construction. Eisenman is a contemporary painter, printmaker, and sculptor, with a wide body of work on the human condition that can be bleak or humorous. She is a MacArthur Foundation Fellow and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2018. Her work was included in the 2019 Venice Biennale and 2019 Whitney Biennial.
Free and open to all, no registration is required for attendance.

Persisting Matters: Tammie Rubin at. Pen + Brush
2024-10-24 18:30 - 20:00
Join us for a screening of an award nominated short artist documentary and a panel conversation with the artist, series curators Adriana Sadowska, Nicola Lucchi, and Pen + Brush.
Persisting Matters is a series of talks that places contemporary artists in conversation with scholars, curators, critics, and the public. The series is developed in the context of CIMA’s 2023-2024 exhibition, Transatlantic Bridges: Corrado Cagli, 1938-1948, and supported by a grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Cagli saw his artistic practice as a tool for anti-rhetorical resistance and critique to power in times of exile, displacement and trauma. Questions of gender, racism, political oppression and resilience through art and community practices were central to his work in the years of his exile from Italy, due to the country’s racial laws. Persisting Matters engages contemporary artists, whose practices explore these pressing subjects in their individual context and prism.
About the Artist:
Tammie Rubin is a ceramic sculptor and installation artist whose practice considers the intrinsic power of objects and coded symbols as signifiers, wishful contraptions, and mythic relics. Her artwork weaves together familial, historical, and literary narratives of Black American citizenry, migration, autonomy, and faith. Rubin has received residencies at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Penland School of Craft, and Pottery Northwest. She is the 2022 Tito’s Prize winner and a 2024 USA Fellow in Craft.
Rubin exhibits widely; selections include Project Row Houses, Houston, TX; the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY; AGBS Christian-Green Gallery at the University of Texas at Austin, Mulvane Art Museum, KS; George Washington Carver Museum, Austin, TX; Indianapolis Art Center, Indianapolis, IN; The Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, TX; Women & Their Work Gallery, Austin, TX; Rivalry Projects, Buffalo, NY; and Ruiz-Healy Art, San Antonio, TX. Galleri Urbane, Dallas, TX., and C24 Gallery, New York, NY, represent the artist.
Rubin’s artwork has received reviews in online and print publications such as Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, Oxford American, Art in America, Glasstire, Austin Chronicle, Sightlines, fields, Conflict of Interest, Arts and Culture Texas, and Ceramics: Art & Perception. She is a member of ICOSA Collective, a non-profit cooperative gallery. Born and raised in Chicago, Rubin lives in Austin, Texas; she is an Associate Professor of Studio Arts, Ceramics at Texas State University.
