THE
SALON ON THE SPIRITUALLY CREATIVE LIFE Happy New Year as we launch the 14th year of The Salon! The meetings will be held at Richard and Carol King’s home in Pasadena. Each will commence at 9:30 a.m. for coffee, followed by the program/discussion from 10 a.m. until noon, except for the special 2 p.m. Valentine’s Day Salon with Ray Bradbury at Fremont Centre Theatre. (See February 14 for ticket information.) Please let us know which salons you can attend by calling (626) 449-1238 Sunday, January 10, 9:30 a.m. Hindu art is about the taming of cosmic forces – early art being the means of inter-communication with the gods before people could read. Professor Aall chooses to focus on Shiva in his manifestation as Nata Raja, the Lord of Dance, in the act of creating the cosmos. Linking the aesthetic with the ethics of Hindu art and spirituality, she will discuss the core concepts of movement, time, knowledge, and the illusion of reality. As always, Dr. Aall reminds us of Ludwig Wittgenstein: “We see the world the way we do not because that is the way it is but because we have these ways of seeing.” Sunday, February 14, 2:00 p.m. at Fremont Centre Theatre, South Pasadena At 2 p.m., the renowned author/futurist presents his Valentine’s Day Message to The Salon, “Love Is the Flint That Makes the Spark, Love Is the Answer to All That Is Dark,” followed by a performance at 3 p.m. of his two new plays, “Wisdom (1916)” and “2116.” Ray will have a selection of his books available for purchase and signing. Location: Fremont Centre Theatre, 1000 Fremont Avenue, South Pasadena, CA 91030. (Ample parking on street and behind theater.) Salon members are being offered special half-price tickets at $10, which will be held for Salon guests until January 28. Sales to public begin January 29. Tickets can be purchased by calling 323/960-4451. Please mention the promo code “SALON.” If you need directions on day of the salon, call box office manager Joan Jack, 562/896-7214. Sunday, March 14, 9:30 a.m. In most creative ventures, outcomes are generally judged successful for one of two reasons – theory or practice. Are these perspectives in harmony or conflict? Are there other positions altogether? In his recent books, The Great Idea: Criticality and Practice in Contemporary Architecture and Tall Building: Imagining the Skyscraper, architect Scott Johnson, American Institute of Architects Gold Medal Recipient and partner-in-charge of Johnson Fain Partners, will discuss how these perspectives influence us and shape our physical environment. Please let us know which salons you can attend by calling (626) 449-1238.
