SUMMARY:Peace Vigil for Love and Unity
DESCRIPTION:This past year has seen so much violence\, hatred\, and division. Since the horrific attack on Oct 7th\, in which many innocent Israelis were murdered\, Gaza has been decimated and countless Palestinian lives have been lost. Children are starving and being murdered. Many Israelis and Palestinians are still in captivity. All people deserve to be free. Genocide is being perpetrated in many places around the world\, in Sudan and in Congo. Our government continues to deny its responsibility for the suffering in our global human family. \nBring your hearts and the pain\, grief\, medicine of your authenticity to be held in safety. We are coming together to touch this great suffering\, to grieve together\, and to find hope and purpose through the cultivation of compassion\, wisdom\, and love. \nPeople of all beliefs\, backgrounds\, and spiritual paths are welcome. We will build a common altar and create a non-judgmental and loving container where healing can take place. All will be welcome to share poems\, songs\, and prayers\, and to speak their truths in a sacred circle. All voices are needed in this movement for liberation of all people. \nWe are a diverse community\, and we need to listen and learn from each other\, and to find enough unity to work together for peace and justice.

SUMMARY:Heart Mandala on Gaza
DESCRIPTION:When twelve hundred Israelis have been killed by Hamas\, over eight thousand injured\, and over two-hundred taken hostage; when over forty-two thousand Palestinians in Gaza have been killed\, and over ninety-eight thousand injured; when hundreds of thousands of Gazans are starving and living amidst rubble\, in tent cities without sanitation\, in terror\, despair and hopelessness; when Israelis are also living in constant fear of attack; when over sixteen thousand Gazan children have been killed; when many credible experts and humanitarians believe that the threshold of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has been met*: there are no sides.\n\nOur community members do not all agree about whether the Israeli government’s military campaign against Gaza constitutes a genocide\, but we are all horrified by the suffering of the Palestinian people. We have also been mourning the victims of the heinous October 7th attack and are concerned about the safety and well-being of Israeli citizens who are caught in the crossfire of this conflict.\n\nThere are no sides in a crisis like this. This gathering is not about who is to blame\, or which side is better or worse\, it is about paying attention to the suffering that is taking place\, truly feeling the horror of it. This spiritual practice is about finding our sense of purpose and agency to stop this downward spiral of hatred and violence and to move instead towards a loving\, just\, and peaceful solution\, one that allows both Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace and safety\, with equality and justice.\n\nWhy would we at the Spiritual Center community be concerned about events happening seemingly so far away from us? Because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Because our own government\, the United States\, is the primary funder and supplier of the weapons being used to kill Gazans. The U.S. military-industrial complex is profiting immensely off of this war and others. U.S. militarism in general is a highly relevant moral problem in our national politics: we have a right and duty to raise our voices in protest when the precious resources that our nation gathers via taxation are being spent primarily on wars that destroy life rather than on programs like education and healthcare that uplift and support human flourishing.\n\nAs an essential part of the civil discourse and moral evolution of this nation\, religious and spiritual communities have always risen up to call for justice in the face of injustice\, to call for peace in the face of war\, to call for equality in the face of racism\, sexism\, and poverty\, and in general to call for humanization in the face of dehumanization.\n\n*****\n\nOn Oct 21st\, we will gather as one human family\, as equals\, without distinctions\, to experience and hold our truths together. We welcome all perspectives\, all expressions\, all the love and truth and feeling we can muster to meet this moment together in unity and integrity.\n\nFollowing the spiral process of the Work That Reconnects\, we will ground in gratitude\, honor our pain for the world\, see with fresh eyes\, and go forth with purpose.\nIn the Heart Mandala\, the central ritual of the evening\, all are welcome to share their fear\, their anger\, their sadness\, their emptiness\, and whatever other feelings want to be expressed. Without cross talk or criticism\, we will witness each other in a sacred circle of trust\, confidentiality\, and love.\n\nThe process will be facilitated by Rev. Dr. Ian Mevorach\, director of Common Street Spiritual Center.\n\nThis sacred gathering is offered free and is open to the public. All are welcome\, without distinction.\n\nYou are welcome to bring candles\, flowers\, incense or other sacred objects to place on the altar table at the beginning of the process.\n\n*****\n\n*According to the March 2024 report of Francesca Albanese\, the United Nation’s Special Rapporteur for human rights in the Palestinian territories\, “[T]here are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating Israel’s commission of genocide is met.”\n\nIn specific\, the Special Rapporteur identifies three genocidal crimes against Palestinians\, which together meet the threshold of genocide: (A) “Killing members of the group\,” (B) “Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group\,” and (C) “Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”\n\nTo read the full report\, please use this link: https://commonstreet.org/…/2024/10/a-hrc-55-73-auv.pdf\n\n**The University Network for Human Rights has also determined that a genocide is taking place in Gaza and published a report to this effect on May 15\, 2024: “In partnership with students and experts at Boston University\, Cornell\, University of Pretoria\, and Yale\, the University Network published Genocide in Gaza: Analysis of International Law and its Application to Israel’s Military Actions since October 7\, 2023. The report is the most thorough legal analysis to date of the “crime of crimes” expressed in the 1948 Genocide Convention and the related international jurisprudence\, as applied to the facts on the ground in Gaza since October 7. It concludes that Israel’s actions meet the legal threshold of genocide\, producing legal obligations for Israel and the international community to end the slaughter.”\n\n***There are many within the Common Street Spiritual Center (CSSC) community and the wider Natick-Metrowest community who do not agree that genocidal acts are taking place in Gaza\, or who believe that the language of “genocide” in the context of this political discourse is at least at times being used in antisemitic ways. We are aware that there has been discomfort about this event in particular\, and its framing in the original event description; we have received and reviewed considerable feedback from our neighbors about this\, and so we have amended the description to be more inclusive and sensitive to their concerns. Our community stands against antisemitism\, Islamophobia\, and racism of any kind. Also\, we love\, respect\, and accept people of various views and warmly welcome people of all perspectives\, including various political orientations and religious backgrounds\, to participate in this particular event and in general to be a part of the life of our community. CSSC is an inclusive\, love-centered community.

SUMMARY:Groove Lab - Dancing Through the Chaos
DESCRIPTION:These times call for dance. Dancing through the chaos. \nThere has been a call in our community to come together and dance. This is for us\, all together\, to create what we want. To gather in community as we envision. \nSend in your song requests to add to our playlist. Plus we will have some live drumming too! Kat will share just a few prompts to help us all to drop in and dance it out. And before we leave\, there will be time to rest–on the ground if you’d like–while gentle percussion sounds fill the air. Maybe\, just maybe\, you will feel this all land in your body like a nourishment. \nOnly together can we create the kind of gatherings that bring strength\, healing and connection to our communities. Let’s do this! \nRegister through Maggie at learn2relax@yahoo.com or Kat at kathleensuwalski@gmail.com so that we know you are attending and know how many people to expect (or so that we can let you know if anything changes).\nInvestment: $25 if pre-registered and $35 at the door. If cost is prohibitive\, please reach out. \nBring your friends\, neighbors and family too. Spread the word!
