SUMMARY:MIke Tamburo Sound Meditation Concert in Natick
DESCRIPTION:Mike Tamburo of Crown of Eternity returns to Natick for a powerful sound meditation and musical experience! \nAllow yourself to enter a timeless space of listening as Crown of Eternity’s Mike Tamburo orchestrates his way through 50+ overtone rich instruments including Gongs\, Bells\, Hammered Dulcimer and tuned metal instruments. Listeners have described Mike Tamburo’s music as an adventure in listening; sonic bliss; a deep and lasting vibrational rejuvenation for body and spirit; a profound aesthetic experience; a journey through the senses and a perceptual roller coaster. Allow yourself to be still and listen. \nSpace is limited! Get your tickets in advance! \nPLEASE BRING a yoga mat\, blanket\, or cushion for your comfort during extended relaxation on the floor. \nWe invite you to co-create a sensitive\, safe\, deep listening and meditative experience for all participants. It is expected that all will commit to an agreement of being still\, quiet and honor and respect a deep transformative space throughout the entire experience. It is our intention to create an inclusive experience. \nABOUT MIKE TAMBURO \nMike Tamburo is a world-renowned musician\, composer\, artist and educator. He is known and loved for his transformational live concerts performed on his personally curated set of gongs\, bells and other metal instruments.  \nA lifelong multi-instrumentalist\, Tamburo has focused his talents on metal percussion instruments\, string instruments (hammered dulcimer\, guitar\, zither\, shahi baaja)\, as well as electronic instruments (synths\, looping).  \nSince 1994\, Tamburo has shared more than 2\,000 concerts and workshops. He has recorded over 70 albums\, both solo and in collaboration with Crown of Eternity\, Meisha\, Arco Flute Foundation\, Psychic Frost\, Brother Ong and more\, ranging from epic gong music to ecstatic and transcendental string music\, as well as folk\, drone\, space rock\, ambient\, mantra music and sometimes unclassifiable sounds. This man loves music in all its forms!  \nHe teaches gong music\, both in person and online with School of Gong. He is also a part of the far-reaching ethnomusicology trio\, Dig Deeper\, with Mitch Nur and Thomas Orr Anderson. Their online classes have explored countless musical concepts with a focus on the cultural and personal uses of sound for healing\, meditation\, trance\, ecstatic states\, relaxation\, self transformation\, perception\, psycho-acoustics\, scientific discovery\, time and community.  \nAn early adoptee of meditation\, Tamburo’s music offers space for journeying\, self-exploration and deep introspection. During many of his early performances\, he experienced altered states of consciousness and out of body experiences. To understand these experiences\, he explored kundalini yoga\, energy work\, the therapeutic use of sound and how sound impacts consciousness\, human perception and self healing. His love for long sustained drones\, overtones and psychoacoustics continues to inspire him to explore music in further directions.  \nTamburo is also an interdisciplinary sound artist\, instrument builder\, video artist\, sound therapist\, writer and meditation teacher.

SUMMARY:Cacao Ceremony & Authentic Relating
DESCRIPTION:Join Stephanie and Rosh for an evening of Ceremony & Meaningful Connection. We will start our evening with Cacao to awaken and open our hearts. Gathering in love we will move our way into exploring some playful Authentic Relating Games to deepen our abilities to be in authentic connection with ourselves and others. \nCacao Ceremony with Stephanie Brown:\nCacao is a sacred plant medicine tradition that has been utilized for thousands of years to facilitate deeper heart opening and love\, effortless focus\, amazing meditation or spiritual practice\, and for inspiration & creativity. Cacao is a powerful catalyst for all types of inner work\, and in a ceremony\, it supports our healing and growth. When approached this way\, cacao will offer opportunities to cultivate greater self-love\, awareness and expansion of our consciousness. This cacao comes from Guatemala and is single origin\, organic\, and fair trade\, and created with love. \nAuthentic Relating Game Night Led by Rosh:\nAR Games were created to give you a playbook for how to begin relating on an authentic level. Often communication starts and stops because we feel unsure about how to approach it\, what to say\, or what to ask. Turning communication into a game provides a guiding structure and set of agreements for everyone involved. This removes a lot of the stress and anxiety from connection\, and adds in an inviting element of play.\nAR Games (played with 2 or more people) are designed to take you from Surface level answers to → Sharing what’s really going on.\nFrom Feeling disconnected to → Feeling a real bond.\nFrom Not knowing what to say to→ A connected in-flow conversation.\nFrom Lack of understanding to→ Gaining helpful insights about each other.\nPlaying these games help build skills for any relationship: Romantic partnerships\, families\, roommates\, friends\, community groups\, teams\, and clientele.\nBook Your Tickets @ Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cacao-ceremony-authentic-relating-tickets-929852984307?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWhat to bring: Bring a journal and a water bottle + something comfy to sit on (Yoga Mat / Blanket / Pillow).\nEnter the church and go up to the Moon Room. Please arrive on time for 7pm or if not 7:15pm the latest as not to disrupt the Cacao Ceremony. If you have trouble making it on-time please text us @ 720 495 7797 so we can accommodate you. \nSuggest Cost: $20 – $30 | Book Online @ Eventbrite Sliding Scale Always Available – For those in need to connect & without the means to contribute. Just text 720 495 7797 and we will hook you up!

SUMMARY:Awakening - Exploring The Dance Of Light & Dark
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends\, \nYou are invited to join us for a unique and enriching spiritual experience at our gathering called Awakening. \nThis is definitely not a traditional church service. Awakening offers a space where individuals can come together to explore and deepen their spiritual journey in a supportive community setting. \nWHAT TO EXPECT AT AWAKENING: \n– Brief Music/Meditation: Take a moment to settle in. Experience the power of mindfulness and connect with Spirit. \n– Interactive Exploration and Discussion: Explore both the light and dark aspects of life (and of yourself) with nuance and compassion instead of rules and judgment. \n– Engage in meaningful reflection\, open dialogue\, and explore innovative perspectives. Do you disagree with commonly held ideas about our Divine nature? BRING IT! This is a place where you have permission to share and explore your truth with other intelligent beings who have similar questions. \n– Stories From The Other Side: Hear stories from people who have had direct experiences with the other side. \n– Coffee / Chai Hour: After our gathering\, join us for a relaxed coffee hour where you can connect with fellow attendees\, discuss ideas\, and deepen your sense of community. \nIS THIS FOR YOU? \nAt Awakening\, there are no experts or authorities dictating how you should think or live. Instead\, we embrace curiosity and inquiry\, encouraging questions that expand our possibilities and foster personal growth. \nCome be a part of this experiment with us. Let’s create something beautiful together. All that’s required is an open mind and a willingness to explore. \nPlease RSVP to this event by grabbing your free ticket on Eventbrite. Your RSVP helps us ensure a meaningful experience for everyone. \nWe look forward to seeing you at Awakening. \nJason and Amanda

SUMMARY:Dub Yoga
DESCRIPTION:? UNIQUE EVENT ? Strictly Yard Ent. presents DUB YOGA Thursday\, July 18th I August15th I Sep 19th from 7-8 pm at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick\, MA. \n? This will be a special evening of Yoga\, Dub & Reggae\, and community featuring Yoga from Dr. Jen Kurz in tandem with live DJing from Selector Jah Rich! \n❤️ All levels of Yoga are welcome to this vinyasa flow\, there is plenty of parking\, and the cost is $10 or food pantry donations. All are welcome! \n?️ The beautiful Common Street Spiritual Center is the place to be\, and this venue continues to host and promote top tier spiritual entrepreneurship and community events in the MetroWest. \n? This is the second summer of DUB YOGA and last year’s sessions were well attended and received! \n? WHAT IS DUB\, might you ask?\nDub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae music. Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snipits of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful\, stripped down drum and bass. Dub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the musician as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument. An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus! Jamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is credited as the inventor of Dub\, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s. Today\, his innovation and influence is widely heard in genres like techno\, drum and bass\, and dubstep. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music. Jah Rich 7/19/23 \nSuggested donation $10 or food pantry donations of non-perishable items. \nAll welcome!
