Dancing (especially Bollywood) and performing is one of the best ways to build confident personality and presence\, saying this based on my personal experience. Let them start early so they don’t have those could’ve should’ve moments\, and they learn to venture into the world with 100% of their ability. And did I mention the health and happiness benefits?\nYup! All this just by dancing on some of the awesomest Bollywood music for 10 Saturdays. \nRegister here: https://www.bollywoodstepbystep.com/booking-calendar/kids-learn-perform-bollywood?referral=service_list_widget URL:https://commonstreet.org/event/bollywood-dance-for-kids-2/2023-12-02/ LOCATION:Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center\, 13 Common Street\, Natick\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Children and Family,Cultural,Dance,Small Group ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://commonstreet.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Colorful-Modern-FInger-Painting-Kids-Youtube-Thumbnail-Facebook-Post-5.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purnima Thakre":MAILTO:purnimabollyx@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231202T131500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231202T141500 DTSTAMP:20260505T184506 CREATED:20231121T133248Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T202630Z UID:10011299-1701522900-1701526500@commonstreet.org SUMMARY:Bollywood Dance Workout DESCRIPTION:Whoever said no pain no gain\, obviously has never worked out to Bollywood music.

We will be filling them with sand to take the desired shape and let them dry while having lunch and embarking on a journey with Nelya Binder. She will will be offering a Conscious Yoga class to connect with Mother Earth and the elements inspired by rattle making. This Kundalini-inspired class will weave breath\, sound\, and meditative movement to clear stuck energies and deepen your intuition. \nYou can read more about her offerings here. \nThe final step of assembling the rattles and exchanging the sand for corn will tie the day together. \nExchange is $150 and includes all materials. \nDrumbirthing workshop on Saturday 11/18 here. \nRegister by paying in full. \nVenmo: mialuz33 \nPlease provide your e-mail address and the date for the workshop.

Dub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae music. Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snipits of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful\, stripped down drum and bass.\n\n\n\nDub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the musician as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument. An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus!\n\n\n\nJamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is commonly known as the creator of Dub\, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s. Today\, his innovation and influence is widely seen in genres like techno\, drum and bass\, and electronic music overall. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music.\n\n\nJah Rich 7/19/23 URL:https://commonstreet.org/event/dub-yoga-2/2023-08-31/ CATEGORIES:Community,Cultural,Meditation,Music and Arts,Spiritual,Yoga ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://commonstreet.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/DUB-YOGA-Flyer-Summer-20231.png ORGANIZER;CN="Jen Kurz":MAILTO:doctorjenkurz@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230830T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230830T203000 DTSTAMP:20260505T184506 CREATED:20230803T025413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230803T162720Z UID:10008249-1693422000-1693427400@commonstreet.org SUMMARY:Intro to Ayurveda - IN PERSON DESCRIPTION:Known as Yoga’s “sister science\,” Ayurveda is the world’s oldest system of health and healing. This time-tested\, nature-based wisdom empowers us with principles and practices to maximize our existing health and prevent the onset of future “dis-ease.” Ayurveda uses nature’s basic elements (space\, air\, fire\, water and earth) as a foundational framework to understand everything we see in the material world including the design of our unique body/mind constitution.\n\nBy observing ourselves through the lens of elemental qualities\, we learn how the seasons\, weather\, physical environments\, emotions\, food\, relationships\, and all life activities have an impact on our constitution – how they support balance or lead to imbalance within our own unique organism. This deeper self-awareness can lead us to better life choices and combined with Ayurvedic practices\, improve our overall physical\, emotional\, and spiritual wellbeing.\n\nJoin this workshop to learn…\n• Origins of Ayurveda & the practice of Ayurveda today in the US\n• Key concepts in Ayurveda and its unique view of health\n• Potential benefits of practicing Ayurveda\n• Your unique constitution through a take home assessment (Vata\, Pitta\, Kapha doshsa)\n\nTo register\, email rebecca@illuminate-discover.com indicating you intended date of attendance.
