The L Magazine's Literary Upstart
Where: The Baggot Inn
Date: 2007-04-12 20:30:00
Type:
Cheap Drinks, short fiction! The L Magazine announces the first semifinal reading for its third annual Literary Upstart, The Search for Pocket Fiction competition. In the competition, writers are encouraged to submit their best unpublished short fiction (maximum of 1,500 words) to fiction@thelmagazine.com. At each reading, semi-finalists selected from the pool of submissions (to date we've received more than 200) will appear at a dark and writerly NYC tavern, where the drink specials flow liberally. The writers and their stories willl square off in front of a live audience and an opinionated panel of judges, who will then hold forth, American Idol-style, on the stories. The judges, members of the local literati, are: the New Yorker magazine’s Ben Greenman, Random House’s Christine Pride, Curtis Brown Literary Agent Katherine Fausset, Gawker.com’s Gabriel Delahaye (the champion of last year’s Literary Upstart), and The L Magazine’s own Adam Bonislawski. Three semi-finalists will advance to our final reading in June, where they’ll have the opportunity to win a cash prize, gift certificates from various sponsors, and, of course, the admiration of his/her peers. All three semi-finalists will also be published in The L Magazine’s annual Fiction Issue alongside professional authors (who last year included Jonathan Ames, Ben Greenman and Patrick Somerville).

New York Singles Intro To Sailing Starts: Sunday, May 20, 2007 @ 10:15 AM Ends: Sunday, May 20, 2007 @ 2:00 PM Cost: $69.99 Location: North Cove Marina, New York City Ahoy and welcome aboard! Join Meet Market Adventures and other single sailors as we learn how to sail the Ventura. The historic Ventura is a true wooden ship whose hull is built of solid mahogany, decks are Indian teak and her hollow wooden mast is made of American spruce. We will all be given a brief introduction on land before we cast sail. As we all work as a team, we will get to learn the basic handlings and workings of helmanship. This is a hand-on experience maneuvering around and learning the ways of working a ship like a true captain. Navigation, steering and attending to the sails are some of the things that we can look forward to working with. After your ship experience, you can then decide to kick back and enjoy being taken care of or continue to be a part of the captain's crew. We are invited to bring our lunch and eat as a crew!

Everything is God, So What? The Texts and Practices of Nondu...
Where: Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center
Date: 2007-08-13 00:00:00
Type:
You may have heard people say that "everything is God," or that God is "Ein Sof," without end. For many of us this offers a promise of liberation. But it also causes confusion. Does this mean God was in the gas chambers too? And if God is everything, what's the point of doing anything? In this unique class, we will explore Jewish texts on nonduality, from Maimonides' Guide to the Perplexed to the Zohar, writings of Moses Cordovero and the little-known teachings of Rabbi Aaron of Staroselse. We will compare these teachings with those of Tibetan Buddhism and Advaita. Study will be balanced with practices of contemplation, inquiry, prayer and meditation. We will also explore a nondual approach to the mitzvot to cultivate a boundless awareness that’s always available, omnipresent and, in a sense, the most obvious thing in the world — even though it's really hard to say anything about it. If you've had some exposure to Kabbalah, Hasidism or nondual Buddhism, come deepen your understanding, practice and realization. Be prepared for surprise. Enlightenment is not what you think — and neither is God!
