SUMMARY:Community Yoga Class
DESCRIPTION:YOGA COMMUNITY CLASS offering: 6 sessions with Jen Kurz\, a yoga teacher in training. \nThis is a free offering; but any/ all donations to Common Street are welcome. \nPlease register by email to doctorjenkurz@gmail.com (and indicate whether you can make it to some or all sessions) \nYOGA: (yoga citta vrtti nirodah): Translates\, from Sanskrit\, as “the cessation of the fluctuations of mind.” Patanjali\, a great yogi sage\, defines it in his “Yoga Sutras” as the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction\, without distractions. \nFor many westerners and Americans\, yoga practice involves particular asanas\, or mat exercises and stretches\, which build strength\, flexibility\, and balance. It may also be a way to find stillness in the mind in the effort to reach a state of focused attention and self-awareness — through guided sound\, breath\, and posture. This class will be geared towards those who are looking for a moderate to fast paced flow\, as well as a deeper understanding of the mind body connection. \nDr. Jen Kurz is a pain management physiatrist (www.doctorkurz.com for further information). \nDr. Kurz witnesses the limits of conventional care in the treatment of conditions as complex and difficult as chronic pain\, addiction\, and related mood disorders. If we lose our ability to move due to chronic pain\, we know the central and peripheral nervous systems are involved. Neurons that fire together\, wire together. Can we redirect our minds and rewire neurons towards health and wellbeing? \nYoga is a powerful healing and preventative practice for chronic\, painful physical conditions – including chronic spine and joint pain\, muscle pain\, weakness\, tightness\, and postural imbalances. Yoga may enable you to awaken to root mental causes\, conditions\, and obstacles that may be overcome with practice. Previous experience with yoga is recommended for this class.

SUMMARY:Community Yoga Class FREE
DESCRIPTION:YOGA COMMUNITY CLASS with Dr. Jen Kurz \nThis is a free offering but donations to Common Street are welcome. \nPlease register by email to doctorjenkurz@gmail.com \nYOGA: (yoga citta vrtti nirodah): Translates\, from Sanskrit\, as “the cessation of the fluctuations of mind.” Patanjali\, a great yogi sage\, defines it in his “Yoga Sutras” as the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction\, without distractions. \nFor many westerners and Americans\, yoga practice involves particular asanas\, or mat exercises and stretches\, which build strength\, flexibility\, and balance. It may also be a way to find stillness in the mind in the effort to reach a state of focused attention and self-awareness — through guided sound\, breath\, and posture. This class will be geared towards those who are looking for a moderate to fast paced flow\, as well as a deeper understanding of the mind body connection. \nDr. Jen Kurz is a pain management physiatrist (www.doctorkurz.com for further information). \nDr. Kurz witnesses the limits of conventional care in the treatment of conditions as complex and difficult as chronic pain\, addiction\, and related mood disorders. If we lose our ability to move due to chronic pain\, we know the central and peripheral nervous systems are involved. Neurons that fire together\, wire together. Can we redirect our minds and rewire neurons towards health and wellbeing? \nYoga is a powerful healing and preventative practice for chronic\, painful physical conditions – including chronic spine and joint pain\, muscle pain\, weakness\, tightness\, and postural imbalances. Yoga may enable you to awaken to root mental causes\, conditions\, and obstacles that may be overcome with practice. Previous experience with yoga is recommended for this class.

SUMMARY:Show & Share
DESCRIPTION:Held in a community circle format\, this event is free of charge (donations accepted) and will provide space for folks to gather face-to-face. It will be a place where people can connect in a vibe of safety\, spiritual communion\, openness\, honesty\, and non-judgement to share whatever they wish. My hope is for this to be something of a compassionate and open-hearted ‘show and tell’ for adults\, a place where the inner child can have space to play freely\, experience emotional release\, and heal through the joy of supportive human connection! \nIf you want to share feelings: fears\, joys\, and get into deep places that are often difficult in surface-level conversations\, you are welcome. If you choose to share stories\, poems\, songs\, life experiences\, you are welcome. Want to share creative emotional expression\, dance\, photo albums\, or something else that is important to you? YOU ARE WELCOME!\n—————\n-At the open and close of each meeting I will facilitate a short sound healing and guided meditation. Also\, if a few people bring instruments\, we could do a peaceful jam session at the end of the event… I’m always up for those!\n-While I don’t wish to make any topics explicitly off limits\, we will practice compassionate and respectful communication. There will be a ‘talking stick’ of some sort\, so the only ground rules will be: don’t interrupt while someone is sharing\, don’t respond directly to a share without asking permission first\, and please do not use derogatory/demeaning language or point aggressive communication/anger at anyone.\n-There is no commitment required. Come to one circle or come on a regular basis. This is not a closed or ‘regular members only’ event. \n-I will bring a limited amount of snacks. Anyone who wants to bring food and/or non-alcoholic beverages to share\, you welcome to do so.\n-This group will meet in the Meditation Room on the 3rd floor.\n—————\nI hope to build a supportive and connected community around this gathering\, which will be held on a bi-weekly basis (regular recurring time open to group discussion and potentially subject to change). If you have any questions\, please reach out to Jason at MetalionMusicOfficial@gmail.com or (508)254-0263. \n*Please note that the end time of the gathering will be organic and will flow with being in the moment on that day. 5:00pm is a loose target. Anyone who wants to come but needs to come after 3:00pm or leave before 5:00pm can feel free to do so knowing that it will be received with acceptance and grace.* \nPeace & Respect\,\nJason Karol

SUMMARY:Community Yoga Class FREE
DESCRIPTION:YOGA COMMUNITY CLASS with Dr. Jen Kurz \nThis is a free offering but donations to Common Street are welcome. \nPlease register by email to doctorjenkurz@gmail.com \nYOGA: (yoga citta vrtti nirodah): Translates\, from Sanskrit\, as “the cessation of the fluctuations of mind.” Patanjali\, a great yogi sage\, defines it in his “Yoga Sutras” as the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction\, without distractions. \nFor many westerners and Americans\, yoga practice involves particular asanas\, or mat exercises and stretches\, which build strength\, flexibility\, and balance.

SUMMARY:The Art Of Meaning Making - Finding Hidden Value In The Story Of Your Life
DESCRIPTION:After 31 years of exploring the world of personal growth\, I can confidently say that there is one skill I’ve acquired that has served me more than anything else. \nIt’s the skill that has allowed me to: \n– Untangle the confusing events and themes of my childhood \n– Find lightness and freedom in places where I was deeply stuck \n– Develop a kind of emotional & cognitive agility I never knew was possible \n– Help others become free in ways that were surprising to us both \nThat skill is the art of meaning making. \nWhat is that exactly? It’s the ability to see multiple “truths” inside the same situation. It’s the ability to create meaning around a particular event or memory in a way that moves you forward in your life rather than keeping you stuck. \nTO ME\, THIS IS ONE OF THE GOLDEN KEYS OF PERSONAL GROWTH \nMeanings come in all forms. You can have meanings around things like: \n– The story of why you are the way you are \n– Why you’ve been stuck for so long \n– Emotionally charged memories that serve as reference points for how you make decisions and live your life \n– The meaning you invest your attention into can keep you in a kind of mental prison (unable to break free\, get unstuck\, move on\, etc.). \nOr… \nMeaning can gently and elegantly open a pathway forward for you. One that has been there all along\, but was invisible to you because the meaning you were previously stuck inside of actually prevented you from seeing it. \nWhat I love about meaning making is that it’s a skill you can learn. The better you get at it\, the more you can look forward to these important benefits opening up for you: \nFirst\, you become more agile in your ability to navigate life skillfully and gracefully. You feel more capable and able to take on anything that matters to you. \nSecond\, you become antifragile. When something comes along that would diminish most people\, the skillful use of meaning making can make you stronger\, more resilient\, and transform the adversity you’re facing into a source of strength and love (for you and others). \nAND YOU CAN DO THIS WITHOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES (OR THE PEOPLE INVOLVED) NEEDING TO CHANGE \nHow would you like to learn\, explore\, and experiment with this almost magical ability… using your own life’s stories as your playground? \nIf this sounds intriguing to you\, then I invite you to come explore with us inside our experimental container. This is a container where we leave behind “I’m right” and “I know the truth”. \nInstead we explore questions that open up possibility and create space inside your mind and especially in your heart. \nIf you resonate with what you see here\, then you are welcome to join us. We’ll explore the art of deliberate meaning making together\, and then share what we discovered with each other so we can all grow in surprising\, new ways. \nHOW TO JOIN US \nWhere is it? The event is held at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick\, MA which is a beautiful facility for an event like this. \nWhat time? We start promptly at 2:00pm and go until 4:00pm (with a break in the middle). Please plan on arriving by 1:45pm so you have time to settle in and meet the other members. I’m one of the few teachers who starts on time\, so please be sure to arrive early. \nHow much? There’s no cost to attend this event. I want to bring everyone together so we can explore meaning as a community. Just bring a willingness to share and participate with us. \nI’m looking forward to seeing you there. \nWarmly\,\nJason

SUMMARY:Community Yoga Class FREE
DESCRIPTION:COMMUNITY YOGA CLASS with Dr. Jen Kurz \nPlease register by email to doctorjenkurz@gmail.com \nYOGA: (yoga citta vrtti nirodah): Translates\, from Sanskrit\, as “the cessation of the fluctuations of mind.” Patanjali\, a great yogi sage\, defines it in his “Yoga Sutras” as the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction\, without distractions. \nFor many westerners and Americans\, yoga practice involves particular asanas\, or mat exercises and stretches\, which build strength\, flexibility\, and balance. It may also be a way to find stillness in the mind in the effort to reach a state of focused attention and self-awareness — through guided sound\, breath\, and posture. This class will be geared towards those who are looking for a moderate to fast paced flow\, as well as a deeper understanding of the mind body connection. \nDr. Jen Kurz is a pain management physiatrist (www.doctorkurz.com for further information). \nDr. Kurz witnesses the limits of conventional care in the treatment of conditions as complex and difficult as chronic pain\, addiction\, and related mood disorders. If we lose our ability to move due to chronic pain\, we know the central and peripheral nervous systems are involved. Neurons that fire together\, wire together. Can we redirect our minds and rewire neurons towards health and wellbeing? \nYoga is a powerful healing and preventative practice for chronic\, painful physical conditions – including chronic spine and joint pain\, muscle pain\, weakness\, tightness\, and postural imbalances. Yoga may enable you to awaken to root mental causes\, conditions\, and obstacles that may be overcome with practice. Previous experience with yoga is recommended for this class. \nThis is a free offering and anyone from the community is welcome\, whether or not you are a member of the Spiritual Center. \n

SUMMARY:Heart To Heart - Cacao Ceremony & Deep Connection Games (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join us at a truly unique and connected event: Heart To Heart. During this special evening we’ll be blending two of my favorite things: \nA magical Cacao ceremony to help us all drop into our hearts\, followed by some really fun\, deeply engaging connection games. \nWHAT IS A CACAO CEREMONY? \nA Cacao Ceremony is a ritualistic gathering where participants drink ceremonial-grade Cacao to foster a sense of unity\, openness\, and introspection. \nThe ceremonial-grade Cacao serves as a natural heart opener\, encouraging a deep emotional connection to oneself and to others in the group. \nThe value of this ceremony lies in its power to dissolve barriers\, enhance mindfulness\, and nurture a warm sense of community\, helping individuals to experience deeper levels of connection and understanding. \nWHAT MAKES THIS CACAO SPECIAL? \nI pride myself on serving some of the best-tasting ceremonial Cacao you’ll ever have. Cacao is not the same thing as hot chocolate. It’s a bitter stimulant\, and it’s generally fairly watery and bitter. \nMine is different. \nI prepare mine with full fat oat milk for a smooth\, creamy base and source our Cacao from Prophecy Chocolate\, known for its premium quality. \nThen I add a unique blend of spices (including a hint of cayenne pepper)\, vanilla\, and maple syrup to sweeten it. \nIt’s a heartwarming drink that not only tastes great but also helps set the stage for deeper\, more meaningful interactions. \nNext we move into playing some deep connection games \nWHAT ARE DEEP CONNECTION GAMES? \nRather than having a bunch of polite small talk\, we will focus on playing games that create heartfelt connections with each other. \nBy participating in these heart opening games\, you’ll not only have a lot of fun\, but you’ll learn a so much about yourself and the people around you. You’ll get to share things you would normally never get to share at a typical social gathering. \nDoes that sound like music to your ears? I am excited to co-create this intentional social / ceremonial gathering together with you. \nEVENT DETAILS & LOGISTICS \nWhere is it? – The event is held at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick\, MA which is a beautiful facility for an event like this. \nWhat time? – We start promptly at 6:30 PM and go until 9:00 PM (with a break in the middle). Please plan on arriving by 6:15pm so you have time to park\, and then settle in and meet the others. \nHOW TO REGISTER: Pricing and registration details are on the Eventbrite page here: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/674546906957 \nI’m looking forward to seeing you there. \nWarmly\,\nJason \nP.S. – Please check the FAQ section at the bottom of the Eventbrite link to make sure Cacao is safe for you. It generally is for most people\, but it’s good to have a look to be sure.
