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.\n\nRegister here: https://forms.gle/WK2jpJjKGkWNVAKf9\n\nSun\, Jan 28 – Truth\nSun\, Feb 11 – Humility\nSun\, Feb 25 – Respect\nSun\, Mar 10 – Love\nSun\, Mar 24 – Courage\nSun\, Apr 7 – Honesty\nSun\, Apr 21 – Wisdom\n\nThe 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!\n\nOnce 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!\n\nWuniish – A gift and blessing to all from Medicine Story URL:https://commonstreet.org/event/seven-sacred-talking-circles-indigenous-wisdom-from-within/2024-04-21/ LOCATION:Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center\, 13 Common Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Community,Dialogue,Spiritual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://commonstreet.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Seven-Circles-of-Indigenous-Wisdom1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Roaming":MAILTO:roaming.wabanaki@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240422T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240422T200000 DTSTAMP:20260418T090254 CREATED:20230811T141232Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230811T141234Z UID:10008545-1713812400-1713816000@commonstreet.org SUMMARY:Meditation Mondays DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re curious to begin or years into a practice\, start the week off right with Meditation Mondays.

The focus is on relaxing the body into the postures\, allowing the body to soften and enjoy the longer holds of the poses (asanas). The Kaula Tantra Yoga series helps balance and activate every area of one’s life through equilibrating one’s intrinsic energy (Prana). \nIt is a slow-paced sequence of postures divided into 3 main series. The postures work with the lower three chakras: the root\, the sacral\, and the solar plexus. By relaxing these parts of our body\, we may release traumas stored in the body related to childhood\, family lineages\, stressful experiences\, and previous bodily injuries. Beginner yogis will be able to exercise all of the postures in Kaula Tantra Yoga\, but this practice will also challenge advanced yogis as the real practice occurs within you. \nStudents flow between long meditative states cultivated in shavasana to different gentle asanas throughout the practice\, always coming back to deep relaxation through careful cueing of the breath\, body\, and mind. A deeply nurturing and compassionate practice\, students are guided to their own field of trust in their ability to know each day what their body needs from the practice– that there is no “perfect” asana. Even the teachers of Kaula Tantra Yoga don’t do the asanas ‘perfectly’ because perfection is a judgment; in this form of yoga\, imperfection is accepted as being beautiful and thus Tantra sees all life’s experiences as being perfect. \nThus\, Kaula Tantra Yoga gives the student the conscious freedom to push their body\, connect with themselves on a deeper level\, observing without judgment and being fully present\, in the moment. \nSuggested Donation*\n$20-25 by Cash or Venmo\nVenmo: @Rebecca-Jemma-Phillips \n*This is an inclusive\, community practice\, so if donating is a barrier\, we welcome you to come for free. \nSign up here: https://forms.gle/KFvtCo5A77fxizGL9 \n***Please note:*** \nThe practice does NOT involve nudity or sexual contact and no partner is required.
