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.\n\nThe 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.\n‘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.\nMusicians from Orkestra Marhaba 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.\n\n“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\n\nSuggested donation: $20+ (cash or Venmo at the door)\nAdvance registration available at: https://www.eventbrite.com/…/sufi-zirk-and-whirling…\nAbout Marhaba: https://www.orkestramarhaba.com/#about-marhaba�\nAbout Mevlevi Order of America: http://hayatidede.org/aboutmoa URL:https://commonstreet.org/event/sufi-zikr-and-whirling/ LOCATION:Common Street Spiritual Center\, 13 Common Street\, Natick\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Community,Dance,Music and Arts,Spiritual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://commonstreet.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/sufi-zikr.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Olga Cherenina":MAILTO:chereninaolga@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250104T221500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250104T221500 DTSTAMP:20260417T201210 CREATED:20241223T230555Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241223T230906Z UID:10018899-1736028900-1736028900@commonstreet.org SUMMARY:Bollywood Dance Workout DESCRIPTION:Whoever said no pain no gain\, obviously has never worked out to Bollywood music.

DESCRIPTION:‘Divine Design – Ecstatic Dance & Sound Bath’ will be held on Friday\, January 10th at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick\, MA! And guess what? That just happens to be Jason’s birthday! Yay! Your smiling faces is the best present he could ask for\, so come on out to make it a birthday party too! Who says you can’t have a fun birthday party in your 30s? Not I\, that’s for sure! ? \nHere are the details… \n-Doors open at 6:30 for stretching\, snacking\, and socializing while music in the background sets the mood.\n-There will be an intention-setting meditation a little after 7:00pm.\n-We will then transition into dancing to delicious exotic jams\, with both DJ set/performance and live (often improv) accompaniment on a variety of instruments. This will be the ecstatic dance portion of the event.\n-Then\, cool down and ground with a soothing sound bath meditation.\n-Stick around\, have snacks\, and socialize for a bit after the sound bath if you wish! \nThere is a suggested donation of $25-35 for this event\, but if funds are a barrier to entry for you\, don’t let that stop you from enjoying this releasing\, healing\, and uplifting community event… just donate whatever you can. Every contribution will help us to keep putting on these events\, as we would like for this event to keep happening on a regular basis! \nTo create a conscious container for all the ways folks might wish to explore and experience this event with movement\, consent\, and inner emotional processing\, this is an adults only event. Nothing R rated will occur\, just not the right container for kids. \nBring anything you might want… hoops/poi/etc. for flow arts\, a yoga mat/blanket/pillow for the sound bath\, water for hydration. The center will have some yoga mats\, meditation cushions\, and blankets available for borrowing as well.\nI hope to see you there to jive\, shake\, wiggle\, jump\, twirl\, and other words that describe movement… \nPeace & Respect\,\nJason A.
