Yoga is a practice that brings together the mind and body. In fact, yoga means “to yoke” or unite. It is an ancient healing practice that is both physical and spiritual, incorporating postures, breath, and meditation. Yoga heals! Yoga provides relief from numerous forms of trauma, anxiety, and physical stiffness. It also builds a strong physical and spiritual core.

Join us every Monday from 7-8 pm for a vinyasa flow that will strengthen and energize as well as promote flexibility and balance. We will also experience inner peace by the closing meditation called Shivasana. Please bring a mat and water bottle, and the class meets in the beautiful sanctuary. There is no registration required, and the cost per class is $10 or a food pantry donation (the pantry is located outside the center). Class will not meet on federal holidays. Venmo: Jennifer-Kurz-2.

Music-lovers of all ages are invited to the 9th annual SINGtogether, a free, interactive, intergenerational, inspirational concert on Sunday, June 8 at 4:00 p.m. at the Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, featuring Golden Tones chorus and Natick High School’s Concert Choir. This year’s concert theme is “American Eras Tour,” featuring popular songs from different moments and voices in our country.

In this public collaboration between teen musicians, and singers old enough to be their grandparents, the two choirs again invite the public to experience the joyful sound that results when two generations of singers blend their voices together. To enhance the love of music and foster compassion between generations, the singers of both groups have exchanged emails, experienced a visit from the other choir’s conductor, conversed in person, and rehearsed together.

This concert is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund, and Natick Public Schools.

We’ll share what we’ve learned as more seasoned kombucha makers to brand-new, first-time kombucha brewers to kombucha fans who love to explore kombucha but don’t brew it. Also, we’ll have scoby plus starter tea to send home with those who would like.
This is purely a community share event, and there will be nothing that we are selling (that is not what this is about). We learned kombucha making from friends and family and would love to share with others. Kombucha is about community connection. This is a multigenerational gathering.

Sufi Zikr and Whirling
2025-06-28 19:30 - 21:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Mevlevi Sufi Zikr in the tradition of Rumi with Karim and Noor Kerima Payton, Suleyman Loras and musicians friends.
Join us for a magical experience of Mevlevi Sufi dancing and singing in celebration of Divine Presence. For over forty years, the Mevlevi Order of America has offered gatherings with music, poetry and dervish whirling and chanting. We will lead a Zikr practice in the tradition of Rumi.
The Mevlevi tradition hearkens back to Sufi master Rumi (1207-1273), who has become the best-selling poet in America. Rumi’s poetry is filled with a longing for God the Friend and the Beloved. His realization expressed the Source of all religions and spiritual paths, the Way of Love, that unites those of many cultures and traditions.
‘Zikhr’, a Sufi chanting practice, means ‘Remembrance of God’. It awakens us from the state of forgetfulness, forgetting why one has come to Earth. It is a channel opener which helps with attaining true knowledge.
The Musicians will share devotional music played on traditional instruments. Everyone attending a Zikr is a participant; as the gathering unfolds, all are tuned, by the music and language of the Heart, to the baraka (blessing)-filled atmosphere of love.
“When a human being performs zikr, their spirit—their heart starts to open. Their intelligence becomes more refined and more expansive. Their bodies become healthier. A beautiful condition comes about—similar to the one that is brought about by good music. The whole being opens up like a flower, and the divine secret—the things you couldn’t understand or know about before—begin to be revealed to you.”

Suleyman Hayati Dede, founder of the Mevlevi Order of America
