Soulfire Sisterhood – The Alchemy of Healing & Transformation (Women’s Circle)
I invite you to a sacred sisterhood—a space to reclaim your energy, reconnect with your truth, and rise in your power.
You pour so much into your family, your home, and your work—but when was the last time you poured into yourself?
This is your time. Together, we ignite the alchemy of healing and transformation, transmuting pain into wisdom, wounds into strength, and fear into love.
Through heart-centered practices—including energy healing, guided visualization, intuitive energy activations, and journaling—we create a nurturing sanctuary for deep self-reflection, emotional release, and soul nourishment. As we honor our individual healing journeys, we also awaken the wisdom of our lineage, drawing strength from those who walked before us.
This is an invitation to step fully into yourself—to be seen, heard, and held in the profound power of sisterhood.
Come as you are. Leave feeling rooted, radiant, and reignited with the fire of your soul.
Bring a friend to share this sacred time together!

Kombucha Info Session plus optional Scoby Share (Free program)
2025-06-28 13:00 - 15:00 | Choir Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
t’s super easy to brew your own Kombucha and fun, inexpensive and rewarding! Learn about and experience first fermentation and second, plus how to play with flavors. 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

Suggested donation: $20+ (cash or Venmo at the door)

And over time, the goal is to free ourselves from our unconscious programming we have built over our lifetimes and deepen our connection with Spirit.

The event is free and open to the community. Donations are welcome but not required and can be sent via Venmo to @Emmanuel-Weinman or by cash.
