We’ll end with a relaxing meditation. Each class focuses on a unique theme, from self love and immune support to connecting with your intuition. This class is an invitation to slow down and look inward to connect with a deeper consciousness. All levels welcome, no experience needed.

In honor of one of the primary principles of a Talking Circle, to be able to look into each persons’ eyes, we are holding space for 20 people at the most. You are welcome to sign up for as many, or as few, as you are called to and your schedule allows. It’s okay to over or under register and come back to the form and add or subtract a registration. If a Circle is filled you will be put on a wait list and be notified of that status, and you will be notified when a space opens. You should also expect an email a week or so ahead of time to confirm your registration. This will help ensure people on the wait list can get a spot that may have become available.

The Seven topics are Seven Sacred Indigenous topics. How the Circle moves and what comes forth individually and collectively will be a result of who shows up on any given date. Each Circle will hold its own magic and connection to what is already embedded in you. Come and explore life through an Indigenous lens. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you find out about life and how you are called to walk in it!

Once the Seven Circles are complete, we intend to host a collective integration on Zoom where all participants can come on to share how things are moving, or have moved, since they participated in one or more of the gatherings. It promises to be a beautiful experience!

Stone Painting w/ the Abundant Love Project
2024-02-04 14:00 - 16:00 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Creating stones for our global Random Acts of Kindness
Abundant Love Project
We aim to touch the hearts of individuals through a simple random act of kindness: we draw a heart on a stone and leave it in a public place for someone to find. With each stone is a note that tells the finder that no matter how bad their day is going, they are loved…and to keep going. They are worth it and their life matters to many.
The founder of this project lost her daughter to suicide and it was the factor that led to the birth of The Abundant Love Project. I lost my brother to suicide as well, and it is my mission to remind others that they are not alone and show people that they are loved. I personally know the profound effect from a random act of kindness. It can facilitate a momentary shift in a person’s thinking and help them realize that they are loved and needed on earth. Many people who find the stones will write letters saying exactly that.
*I will supply the stones, paint pens, and stickers. You are welcome to bring your own supplies. I will bring printed notes, but encourage people to write a message which adds a personal touch. A donation for the supplies is greatly appreciated but not required. Typically $10-$20 per person covers the cost of the supplies.
