Registration Open for Somatic Healing Group
2025-01-12 19:00 - 21:00 | New York
In our Somatic Healing Group, we find ways of supporting the unique needs of each member, while also learning to more effectively relate to others. We learn to be seen for who we really are – and to see others as they really are. We find healing where before we may have felt pain or disconnection from the self. We find insight, awareness and courage to break and move past old patterns that no longer serve us.
The sessions utilize Core Energetics, an approach that engages group members through body, dialogue and awareness. Group sessions include shared movement and expressive work and opportunities for members to process individual issues and struggles they want support in working through. This group provides a safe and therapeutic environment, where you can express your feelings, take risks, connect to others and further your emotional growth process.

Bonsai Beginner Workshop at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden
2025-01-15 18:30 - 2025-02-12 20:30 | New York
Beginner workshops are perfect for you to grab your friends, grab a drink and come make tiny trees! We’re bringing the awesome art of bonsai out of the hedged in gardens and into the streets! Or at least into your favorite bars/breweries/pubs. Bonsai Bar is a night of fun you don’t want to miss. Learn the fundamental skills and techniques behind the art of bonsai while enjoying a night out with friends! Our teachers will introduce core concepts and guide your experience as you pot, prune, and design your very own bonsai tree! Our Guarantee: These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive, or we’ll replace it.
This workshop will be hosted at Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden. Many Czechs and Slovaks in the 1800s left Austria-Hungary, settling in Astoria, Queens. In 1892, they formed the Bohemian Citizens’ Benevolent Society to honor the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). Funds were raised and in 1910 two lots were purchased for a haven to maintain traditions of the homeland. On Oct. 1, 1910, Bohemian Hall's cornerstone was laid. Three parts were built: an entrance, Sokol Gym (Main Hall), and outside Bar/Park. At one time, over 800 beer gardens were still in NYC, and Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden remains today to keep the proud tradition alive into the new millennium!
Under 21 policy: Please contact Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden for details regarding underage entry

The show is approximately 40 minutes and is suitable for all ages. Show times are at 7pm on January 17th & 18th.

Tastes of the archipelagos: A Journey Through Movement, and Taste! This month? Cuisine from Java!

Join Andrew Suseno of Moving Rasa, & Chef Shandra Woworuntu of Selera Kitchen for a Special Private Dining Event & Workshop!

Join us for an unforgettable evening in a welcoming home in Astoria as we explore the Flavors of Java through movement, taste, and connection. This unique collaboration between Moving Rasa, created by Andrew Suseno, and the esteemed Shandra Woworuntu invites you to sharpen your food tasting experiences by deepening your discernment of Rasa.
In Indonesian, Rasa means taste, as we will do with Javanese food—but it also refers to the emergent essence that arises in any relationship we encounter in life. The practice of Moving Rasa creates playful, embodied spaces—mini laboratories—that encourage us to question how we receive, savor, and engage with our experiences. Through movement improvisation and interactive games, we explore presence, boundary-making, and the art of relishing life’s flavors.

Immerse yourself in:
The rich culinary flavors (rasa) of Java, crafted with care and storytelling by Shandra Woworuntu. Movement explorations led by Andrew Suseno, creator of Moving Rasa, inviting you to attune your body and senses to the experience of Rasa. The rich interweaving of two different approaches to Rasa into one shared experience. This is more than a tasting; it's an opportunity to reconnect to yourself, your body, and the stories carried by flavors and movement.
About the Hosts:
Shandra Woworuntu is a celebrated chef known for blending her Indonesian heritage with culinary creativity, using food as a medium to inspire and empower others. She is author of her own cookbook called "A Taste for Freedom," showcasing dishes such as : Peruvian Seafood Ceviche, Hiroshi Zaru Soba, Korean Tofu Kimchi and African Ginger Pineapple Drink. And her recipes appear in many other articles and cookbooks, including one by the League of Kitchens who she has been working as the Indonesian instructor for several years. She is excited to launch her own business Selera Kitchen this year!

Andrew Suseno, creator of Moving Rasa, is a movement facilitator and cultural practitioner who combines somatic awareness and improvisation to help individuals reconnect to their essence (Rasa), weaving physical, mental, and spiritual practices into healing and liberation. In 2023 Moving Rasa was awarded the American Rescue Plan grant to develop culturally specific programming for AAPI Survivors of Sexual Assault and men's consciousness programs. He merges physical, emotional, and ancestral awareness to foster healing, empowerment, and collective transformation.

Don’t miss this chance to sharpen your food tasting experiences, move, and reconnect to Rasa.

Join us for the ultimate mix of sensory play and instructor led art making!
In this class series your child will use a wide variety of art materials and techniques to make a new masterpiece each week! Activities will include painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking and more.
Through sensory play children will discover, touch, and experiment with a variety of materials and textures. Each session sparks curiosity and encourages sensory development in a safe and stimulating environment.

Class Experience
During a Junior Explorers class children will participate in a teacher led art lesson inspired by a book, artist, or material. Lessons will be process based and will encourage choice and experimentation. Then, we will have time for sensory exploration and play!
