Checks payable to Numinous, a 501(c)3 interfaith spiritual organization & sponsor of the Albany Peace Project.Included in the evening’s celebration:
-Keynote Speaker Albany Chief of Police Brendan Cox
-A special concert performance by Albany’s own “School of Rock,”
-Six showcase presentations highlighting the evidence of mind-body strategies that facilitate societal peace
-Silent Auction of local goods and services.
-Hors d’ouvres and cocktail reception to follow.The event will be an interactive festivity highlighting some of the Albany Peace Project’s community engagement efforts aimed at reducing violence in the Capital Region by creating a much safer, more mindful, and more peaceful community through mind-body coherence practices. This work includes a wide variety of stakeholders, from college students to at-risk populations, as well as with corporations and individuals.

ALSO, with every ticket sold/donation there will be a meal donated to someone in need at the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless in Albany, NY. Each one, feeds one.

The Albany Peace Project is a 10-year research study designed to determine if an organized group of trained meditators, creating a “coherent state” in their bodies (and then focusing peaceful intention outwardly) can measurably reduce local violence. The hypothesis is that focused peaceful intention has real world impact, as suggested and supported by many prior research studies. The goal of this project is to dramatically enhance wellness, productivity, and societal peace in Albany and the surrounding areas.

Albany Peace Project founder and Biofeedback Specialist, Bethany Gonyea has been teaching organizations coherence skills for over twenty years and provides the science and data behind why coherence meditation works, and how to practically apply this knowledge. Dr. Karin Reinhold, SUNY Albany mathematics professor, supports these efforts by offering both correlative and analytical data. This additional layer of accountability makes the Albany Peace Project an exciting groundbreaking endeavor for facilitating peace at the city level.

Just to give you a sneak peak here are our event presenters and performers:
  • Albany Chief of Police Brendon Cox as our Keynote speaker.
  • Albany’s very own “School of Rock.”
  • Bethany Gonyea, founder of the Albany Peace Project.
  • Bernard Shuman from Cure Violence discussing (MASV) Mindfulness as Solutions to Violence.
  • Nora Vollon-Burgos & Beth Suter from Mindfulness in Schools discussing the implementation of meditation instead of detention in PreK-12 Schools.
  • Dr. Karin Reinhold from the University at Albany, discussing scientific research and it’s impact on our global communities.
  • Derek J. Healey from the Interfaith Alliance of NYS, discussing the moral & practical duties of all citizens regardless of religious background to promote peace through acts of service.

  • Ann Battistoni, from our event’s sponsor Numinous, discussing the incredible work that continues to happen in the Capital Region for happier, healthier, and more harmonious communities.

Spiritual Conversations For Men

men conversation

PLEASE NOTE: SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS FOR MEN ARE NOW POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

– Glenn Hogue & Tim Moon, MA

– 7:00 PM Unity Church of Albany

– The first Wednesday each month

Let’s start the conversation!

Most spiritual programs are predominantly attended by women, which often causes women’s issues to be the focus of such programming.  However, at NUMINOUS, we wanted to provide new programs that would specifically support Men’s spiritual discoveries as they do the significant work of pioneering how to blend ancient spiritual teachings with contemporary culture’s expectations of masculinity.

This is critically important work, as we seem to be in a time in history when all sorts of established paradigms are falling.   The rugged individualism of the late 20th century is being challenged on all levels, especially in relationships. The traditional roles between male and female are being blurred as well.

How do we maintain the integrity of our yang (masculine) energy while assimilating the gentler aspects of spirituality and still be effective in this world?   How do we learn how to connect, while maintaining our individual authenticity and truth?   Many of us have learned that we don’t need to do life alone, but we are unsure of how to skillfully include input from Spirit, women, and other men, without loosing connection with ourselves.

Learning how to skillfully partner, listen, and still assert our truth seems to be a huge piece of the mission for our generation of men. These Spiritual Conversations For Men will give us an opportunity to gain answers to the some of the most distracting questions of our lives.  In a quiet environment, we can safely discuss what matters to us most, and obtain invaluable insights from others who have grappled with the same questions.  Through this exchange, we learn that we don’t have to do “life alone.”  Also, we learn how good it feels to be supported and to provide the same meaningful support for others.   These discussions will offer us clarity and direction as we learn to connect, and yet still hold individual balance.

Numinous will be offering Spiritual Conversations For Men on a bi-weekly basis starting April 7 at Fo Castle Farms.  We are extremely fortunate to have Tim Moon, MA, CASAC and Fo Castle Owner/Operator Glenn Hogue.  These two have over 55 years of combined spiritual understandings to chart this prosperous territory.

Albany Peace Project 2017 Meditations

peaceproject_logo_blue_small

 

The Albany Peace Project is an online and offline community of meditators who focus their meditation intentional efforts to help eliminate suffering in the Greater Albany, NY area. To date, 20 out of 24 intentional studies were performed throughout the world that demonstrate when large groups of people focus their peaceful intentions there is a positive effect on the whole.

Currently, researchers, Karin Reinhold, PhD, and Bethany Gonyea, MS are gathering and training meditation volunteers in the greater Albany area to become part of this exciting pioneering work. Meditative instruction and intentional research video blog casting is being offered to help people gain an understanding of the inspiring research that has already been done, and the need to add to this exciting growing body of work.

The Albany Peace Project is an outreach of NUMINOUS, a 501(c)3 non-denominational organization which offers lectures that synthesize biofeedback training & healing/prayer research to provide reliable methods for strengthening and inspiring dynamic lives of service. The Albany Peace Project has been created with the acknowledgement that not all faiths can agree on doctrine, but can agree to employ focused healing intentions to reduce human suffering.
