SUMMARY:A River Flows Through Me: A Thematic Presentation Through Dance
DESCRIPTION:The river\, the vein of our earth\, enriches the land! By flowing through hills\, villages\, and cities\, the river supports the lives of plants\, birds\, fishes\, and humans. \nWe get mesmerized by its beauty. A fisherman depends on it for livelihood\, while the poet and artist get inspired by its beauty and create! \nThe river gives refuge to the sick\, old\, tired\, socially unacceptable and retired\, by its soothing sound of rippling\, flowing water. \nBut as we use and enjoy the river\, we remain somewhat numb to the ways we abuse it. So who will give refuge to the river? \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Show & Share
DESCRIPTION:Held in a community circle format\, this event is free of charge (donations accepted) and will provide space for folks to gather face-to-face. It will be a place where people can connect in a vibe of safety\, spiritual communion\, openness\, honesty\, and non-judgement to share whatever they wish. My hope is for this to be something of a compassionate and open-hearted ‘show and tell’ for adults\, a place where the inner child can have space to play freely\, experience emotional release\, and heal through the joy of supportive human connection! \nIf you want to share feelings: fears\, joys\, and get into deep places that are often difficult in surface-level conversations\, you are welcome. If you choose to share stories\, poems\, songs\, life experiences\, you are welcome. Want to share creative emotional expression\, dance\, photo albums\, or something else that is important to you? YOU ARE WELCOME!\n—————\n-At the open and close of each meeting I will facilitate a short sound healing and guided meditation. Also\, if a few people bring instruments\, we could do a peaceful jam session at the end of the event… I’m always up for those!\n-While I don’t wish to make any topics explicitly off limits\, we will practice compassionate and respectful communication. There will be a ‘talking stick’ of some sort\, so the only ground rules will be: don’t interrupt while someone is sharing\, don’t respond directly to a share without asking permission first\, and please do not use derogatory/demeaning language or point aggressive communication/anger at anyone.\n-There is no commitment required. Come to one circle or come on a regular basis. This is not a closed or ‘regular members only’ event.\n-I will bring a limited amount of snacks.\nAnyone who wants to bring food and/or non-alcoholic beverages to share\, you welcome to do so.\n-This group will meet in the Meditation Room on the 3rd floor.\n—————\nI hope to build a supportive and connected community around this gathering\, which will be held on a recurring basis (regular recurring time open to group discussion and potentially subject to change). \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Jason at MetalionMusicOfficial@gmail.com. \n*Please note that the end time of the gathering will be organic and will flow with being in the moment on that day. 5:00pm is a loose target. Anyone who wants to come but needs to come after 3:00pm or leave before 5:00pm can feel free to do so knowing that it will be received with acceptance and grace.* \nPeace & Respect\,\nJason Karol

SUMMARY:Community Healing Circle + Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Our community is coming together to create a healing circle\, a brave space where we can be real about feeling the pain in our lives and moving through that together into a deeper joy.\n\n\nWe invite you into a space of vulnerability and healing. You’re welcome to bring your pain\, your trauma\, and also your strength and intentions to hold space for others in their healing. Together we will find balance and a reassurance that we are loved and we are OK\, together. Our intention is to create a held space within which we can trust ourselves to feel the pain we need to\, on the way to wholeness\, and on the way to a life of greater balance and joy.\n\n\nAfter our circle process\, we’ll have space to connect together over a shared meal\, to decompress\, allow our normal boundaries to come back\, and move ourselves gently through sustenance and nurture back into the world.\n\n\nThe circle is from 2-5\, the potluck is from 5-7 (and is optional).\n\nThe Community Healing Circle is free and open to the whole community. Please RSVP below so we know who will be there!\n\n****\n\n\n\nAn Invitation to Brave Space \nBy Micky ScottBey Jones inspired by a poem by Beth Strano \nTogether we will create brave space\nBecause there is no such thing as a “safe space”\nWe exist in the real world\nWe all carry scars and we have all caused wounds.\nIn this space\nWe seek to turn down the volume of the outside world\,\nWe amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere\,\nWe call each other to more truth and love\nWe have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow.\nWe have the responsibility to examine what we think we know\,\nWe will not be perfect.\nThis space will not be perfect.|\nIt will not always be what we wish it to be\nBut\nIt will be our brave space together\,\nand\nWe will work in it side by side….

SUMMARY:Natick Music Makers
DESCRIPTION:What:  Natick Music Makers  \nWhen:  Friday\, July 7\, 2023\, 7-9pm \nWhere:  Common Street Spiritual Center\, Upstairs \nHow much: Cost; 100% of your $10 entry fee goes to the center to support its mission* \nWho:  You & Us!! ? \nHello! We want to play music with YOU! \nIf you have a basic musical ability (play an instrument\, know your chords)\, We welcome you to bring your instrument; guitar\, bass\, drums\, keyboard\, ukelele\, voice\, and more – for a night of playing songs together. We’ll finish out the night with a jam. \nPoint of the event is to have fun and make music together. There is little expectation beyond that. \nFormat of the event:  we’ll play relatively easy songs which are 3-5 chords. We’ll have a list to choose from for this event\, and we’ll cast them on a screen / or have on poster-boards\, so everyone can see the chords and lyrics. We’ll draw numbers from a hat @ 7pm and that will be the order of those wanting to lead a song. If you just want to play\, then just play! \nGenres include but not limited to Rock\, Pop\, Folk\, Blues. Typically\, we’ll be mostly in 4/4 time to keep things simple. I’ll start off the 1st song to get us warmed up\, then we’ll take turns leading a song (optional if you desire to). \nNote: we’ll play mostly “clean” in terms of sound\, but some basic pedals / effects are permitted such as Wah\, Compressor\, Reverb\, Delay\, etc. Ear plugs will be available. \nAlso Note:  respectfulness of everyone’s ability level is expected\, kindness is appreciated. This is for fun\, and there is no expectation that the songs will sound like the original nor do we really desire for it to. \nKeep your alcohol and drugs and pets at home. \nWe’ll take a break about halfway through to socialize and munch on snacks. \nIf you have any questions\, you can reach me by email: MrDaveStewart@gmail.com \nHope to see you there! \n\nNatick Music Makers \n\n  \n*Free if you’re a member of Common St. Spiritual Center.  See this link if interested: https://commonstreet.org/membership/

SUMMARY:Show & Share (Stories of Summer Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Held in a community circle format on the 3rd floor of the center\, this event is free of charge (donations accepted) and will provide space for folks to gather face-to-face. It will be a place where people can connect in a vibe of safety\, spiritual communion\, openness\, honesty\, and non-judgement to share. My hope is for this to be a compassionate and open-hearted ‘show and tell’ for adults\, a place where the inner child can have space to experience emotional release\, connect\, and heal through the joy of supportive human connection! \nFor this iteration\, I will be trying something that was suggested to me recently. This ‘Show & Share’ will start off with a theme. So\, the first round of sharing will be focused on the phrase “stories of summer.” Stories\, memories\, pictures\, poems\, songs… please bring something to share with the group that is from and/or reminds of past summer experience from you life. \nThen\, if there is time\, we will open the floor to a round of more freestyle sharing… fears\, joys\, and get into deep places that are often difficult in surface-level conversations\, stories\, poems\, songs\, life experiences\, creative emotional expression\, dance\, photo albums… all are fair game for the freestyle round!\n—————\n-At the open and close of each meeting I will facilitate a short sound healing and guided meditation. Also\, if a few people bring instruments\, we could do a peaceful jam session at the end of the event… I’m always up for those!\n-While I don’t wish to make any topics explicitly off limits\, we will practice compassionate and respectful communication. There will be a ‘talking stick’ of some sort\, so the only ground rules will be: don’t interrupt while someone is sharing\, don’t respond directly to a share without asking permission first\, and please do not use derogatory/demeaning language or point aggressive communication/anger at anyone.\n-There is no commitment required. Come to one circle or come on a regular basis. This is not a closed or ‘regular members only’ event.\n-I will bring a limited amount of snacks. Anyone who wants to bring food and/or non-alcoholic beverages to share\, you welcome to do so.\n—————\nI hope to build a supportive and connected community around this gathering\, which will be held on a recurring basis (regular recurring time open to group discussion and potentially subject to change). \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Jason at MetalionMusicOfficial@gmail.com or (508)254-0263. \n*Please note that the end time of the gathering will be organic and will flow with being in the moment on that day. 5:00pm is a loose target. Anyone who wants to come but needs to come after 3:00pm or leave before 5:00pm can feel free to do so knowing that it will be received with acceptance and grace.* \nPeace & Respect\,\nJason Karol

SUMMARY:Dub Yoga
DESCRIPTION:A vinyasa flow yoga class set to live roots and dub Reggae\n\nYes\, Yoga and Reggae fusion!\n\nFREE & open to the community \n\nw/ Dr. Jen Kurz and DJ Jah Rich\, live!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurious about the meaning of “Dub”?\n\n\n\nWhat is Dub music? Dub 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.\n\n\n\nDub 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!\n\n\n\nJamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is commonly known as the creator 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 seen in genres like techno\, drum and bass\, and electronic music overall. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music.\n\n\nJah Rich 7/19/23

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. \nwww.miketamburomusic.com\nInstagram.\n@mike_tamburo \n———————— \nVideos\n \n \nhttps://tickets.brightstarevents.com/event/mike-tamburo-live-in-natick \n
