SUMMARY:Eve of Floralia
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Winds of Alluria\, Three Dragon Alley\, & Be Not Afraid performing at the Common St Spiritual Center. Natick\, MA Sun 4/26 6-9PM. \n\n\n\n\nEve of Floralia marks the threshold before the ancient Roman festival of Floralia\, a rite of renewal dedicated to Flora—goddess of blossoms\, fertility\, wild growth\, and the untamed intelligence of the living world. It is not a polite celebration of spring\, but a liminal moment when boundaries soften: between winter and bloom\, order and excess\, human intention and vegetal will. \nTo honor this eve\, we gather through sound. \nElectronic ritual\, neofolk incantation\, animist resonance\, world instruments\, and dark ambient textures form an offering suited to a night that belongs neither fully to civilization nor to wilderness. These musics speak in pulses\, drones\, breath\, wood\, wire\, and electricity—languages older than doctrine\, newer than tradition\, and aligned with cycles rather than calendars. \nThis is music for roots pushing through stone\, for flowers that bloom at night\, for spirits that do not ask permission. Eve of Floralia is not a reenactment—it is an invocation. A listening rite. A sonic garland laid at the feet of spring as it crosses the threshold into abundance. \n$25 donation. \nThis is a seated event. No alcohol served at this event. Feel free to bring water bottles and snacks. Please arrive 10 minutes before the event.

SUMMARY:Sensing Tango — A Beginner's Course
DESCRIPTION:Argentine tango is one of the most intimate social dances in the world — and one of the most misunderstood. Most people learn it as a set of steps. This course teaches it as a conversation. \nOver six classes\, we’ll build the foundational skills of tango from the inside out: how to stand\, embrace\, and move with a partner — not through drilling technique\, but through guided exercises in body awareness\, breath\, and attentive listening. You’ll learn to feel what your partner is communicating\, and to express yourself clearly and kindly in return. \nYou’ll leave with enough grounding to enjoy a social tango event — and a set of inner tools that will deepen every dance you take on from here. \nNo experience necessary. No partner required. \nTime: Thursdays\, Apr 2 – May 7\, 7.15pm (6 classes) \nLocation: Common Street Spiritual Center\, Moon Room.  13 Common St Natick\, MA  01760 \n$20 per class · $100 for the series · NOTAFLOF · Drop-ins welcome\, and like tango itself\, the material rewards revisiting. \nTo pre-register: https://forms.gle/tCTr9DUdPLHgDc666 \n  \nAbout the instructor \nAnatoliy Kats began his tango journey in 2017 and hasn’t stopped since. He studies in Buenos Aires at Studio Dinzel\, which pioneered the teaching of tango as a practice of wellness and self-development more than 20 years ago. He holds a degree in clinical mental health counseling from Lesley University\, and his work as a therapist informs how he teaches the dance. He is supervised by Dmitry Antonyuk of St. Petersburg\, Russia — a Studio Dinzel alumnus with 14 years of tango teaching experience.

SUMMARY:Rite of the Womb
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Rite of the Womb\, a monthly women’s circle\, typically held every third Saturday at Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick. \n\nThis sacred gathering offers a space to connect\, heal\, and celebrate your feminine essence through empowering workshops and sacred sisterhood.

Intuitive information can come through many channels- art\, movement and dance\, channeled writing\, tarot\, scrying\, astrology\, mediumship\, tea leaf reading\, aura visualization\, and many more- you are invited into a space to experiment\, practice\, and explore the methods that have been calling to you or that you’ve been curious about. If it calls to you\, bring with you any art or writing supplies\, divination tools you work with or have been curious about trying or practicing. \nIf you feel called\, a few items you may want to bring: \n\nA snack to share with the group\nA personal water bottle\nAny items you would like honored on the collective altar\nDivination tools you work with (examples: crystals\, cards\, smokes\, etc)\nMusical instruments such as drums or rattles\nAnything else that you feel will support the space!\n\nContact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or via text or WhatsApp at 617-980-6022 with any questions or concerns. \nAlthough preregistration is not required\, it is helpful for event preparations.

SUMMARY:Open Circle and Community Brunch
DESCRIPTION:On the first Sundays of the month\, we combine our Open Circle Gathering with a community potluck brunch.\n\nWe gather and connect in a more relaxed\, less structured way\, yet with threads of meaning and spirituality tying it all together.\n\n\nYou’re welcome\, if it would bring you joy\, to contribute a food or drink item to share as part of the community brunch. Another option is to bring non-perishable food or toiletry items for our free mini-pantry.\n\nOur community is finding a creative place in the spiritual world\, where new forms of spiritual practice\, artistic expression\, and self-awareness are emerging to support humanity to meet the challenges of our times. We are finding balance within ourselves\, making peace across differences\, and stepping up to protect the Earth.\n\nWe welcome folks of all beliefs and backgrounds to build community with us as we align around a hopeful sense of common purpose.

SUMMARY:Sensing Tango — A Beginner's Course
DESCRIPTION:Argentine tango is one of the most intimate social dances in the world — and one of the most misunderstood. Most people learn it as a set of steps. This course teaches it as a conversation. \nOver six classes\, we’ll build the foundational skills of tango from the inside out: how to stand\, embrace\, and move with a partner — not through drilling technique\, but through guided exercises in body awareness\, breath\, and attentive listening. You’ll learn to feel what your partner is communicating\, and to express yourself clearly and kindly in return. \nYou’ll leave with enough grounding to enjoy a social tango event — and a set of inner tools that will deepen every dance you take on from here. \nNo experience necessary. No partner required. \nTime: Thursdays\, Apr 2 – May 7\, 7.15pm (6 classes) \nLocation: Common Street Spiritual Center\, Moon Room.  13 Common St Natick\, MA  01760 \n$20 per class · $100 for the series · NOTAFLOF · Drop-ins welcome\, and like tango itself\, the material rewards revisiting. \nTo pre-register: https://forms.gle/tCTr9DUdPLHgDc666 \n  \nAbout the instructor \nAnatoliy Kats began his tango journey in 2017 and hasn’t stopped since. He studies in Buenos Aires at Studio Dinzel\, which pioneered the teaching of tango as a practice of wellness and self-development more than 20 years ago. He holds a degree in clinical mental health counseling from Lesley University\, and his work as a therapist informs how he teaches the dance. He is supervised by Dmitry Antonyuk of St. Petersburg\, Russia — a Studio Dinzel alumnus with 14 years of tango teaching experience.

SUMMARY:Rite of the Womb
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Rite of the Womb\, a monthly women’s circle\, typically held every third Saturday at Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick. \n\nThis sacred gathering offers a space to connect\, heal\, and celebrate your feminine essence through empowering workshops and sacred sisterhood. The evening culminates in the Rite of the Womb\, a shamanic ceremony for releasing fear and ancestral pain to reclaim your inner power. Throughout the evening\, you’ll be embraced by a supportive women’s community\, fostering connections that uplift and inspire.  \nThis month our women’s circle falls during the Spring Equinox\, the sacred turning point when day and night come into balance—and when the goddess Persephone returns to earth after her six-month reign as Queen of the Underworld\, bringing with her the energies of renewal\, fertility\, abundance\, and the awakening of spring. It feels deeply fitting to honor and embody the archetype of Persephone: the initiate who descends into darkness and returns transformed. Together we will honor the painful experiences that have carried us through our own underworlds\, recognizing that certain thresholds in life change us forever\, yet do not erase who we are. Like Persephone\, we learn to live between worlds- light and shadow\, maiden and queen\, loss and renewal- awakening the goddess energy within us that holds both tenderness and power. Through reflection\, ritual\, and shared sisterhood\, we reclaim the wisdom born from hardship and transform it into personal sovereignty. And as the Spring Equinox marks Persephone’s radiant return to the living world\, we will celebrate with lightness\, dance\, laughter\, flowers\, and abundance—joyfully welcoming the season of growth\, blooming life\, and new possibilities. Together we honor that we\, too\, have emerged from the underworld carrying both our depth and our radiance. \nIf you feel called\, a few items you may want to bring: \n\nA snack to share with the group\nA personal water bottle\nAny items you would like honored on the collective altar\nDivination tools you work with (examples: crystals\, cards\, smokes\, etc)\nMusical instruments such as drums or rattles\nAnything else that you feel will support the space!\n\nContact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or via text or WhatsApp at 617-980-6022 with any questions or concerns. \nAlthough preregistration is not required\, it is helpful for event preparations. Suggested donation to support the center\, workshop supplies and the group is $22 to $44\, although no one will be turned away for financial hardship.   \nPreregister using the following form link: https://forms.gle/SiZUYrMemju433yK8

From the tradition of the great love poet Rumi\, these classes provide instruction in the whirling practice which polishes the heart\, clears the mind\, and trains the body to participate in wordless prayer. \nThe format of the classes will usually include warm-up exercises\, then turning instruction\, Zikr\, and/or other aspects of Mevlevi Sufi tradition such as teachings from Rumi. \nFirst class by donation. There is a fee for ongoing classes\, however\, a tight budget should not prevent participation. \nContact vnkpayton@gmail.com for more information\, or if in doubt about cancellation due to weather.

SUMMARY:Rite of the Womb
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Rite of the Womb\, a monthly women’s circle\, typically held every third Saturday at Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick. \nThis sacred gathering offers a welcoming space to connect\, heal\, and honor the feminine through shared practice\, reflection\, and sacred sisterhood. \nIn February\, the gathering will be guided by Pooja Mahtani\, founder of Akasha Codes\, who holds grounded\, compassionate healing spaces rooted in presence\, energetic awareness\, and deep listening. Through gentle guidance\, intentional space-holding\, and womb-focused energetic work\, participants will be invited to soften the nervous system\, reconnect with the womb as a center of memory and creation\, and tend to layers of identity shaped by lineage\, experience\, and lived history. \nThis work supports the remembrance of the womb not only as a physical space\, but as an energetic center of intuition\, creativity\, belonging\, and self-trust. The healing invites the release of inherited patterns\, emotional imprints\, and internalized narratives that may no longer serve—making space for clarity\, sovereignty\, and embodied presence. \nThe evening culminates in The Rite of the Womb\, a shamanic ceremony focused on releasing fear and ancestral pain\, allowing participants to reclaim inner power and wholeness. Throughout the evening\, you’ll be held within a supportive women’s community that fosters connection\, safety\, and inspiration. \nIf you feel called\, a few items you may want to bring: \n\nA snack to share with the group\nA personal water bottle\nAny items you would like honored on the collective altar\nDivination tools you work with (examples: crystals\, cards\, smokes\, etc)\nMusical instruments such as drums or rattles\nAnything else that you feel will support the space!\n\nQuestions or concerns:Please contact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or via text or WhatsApp at 617-980-6022. \nEnergy Exchange:Although preregistration is not required\, it is helpful for event preparations. A suggested donation of $22–$44 supports the center\, workshop supplies\, and the group. No one will be turned away due to financial hardship. \nPreregistration:https://forms.gle/SiZUYrMemju433yK8
