I love how Judy guides you through every movement during your stretching to make sure you’re in the right position for your body. And then\, she separates you from whatever was on your mind by getting you to focus on the here and now. “\n~ Participant at Project Comeback’s programming for veterans and rescued horses \n“Judy has an amazing spirit and great techniques.  Her mastery and time studying abroad shines through every class.  Not only does she make accommodations for all levels of yoga practitioners including people with disabilities\, but she also has multiple versions of poses for those who want to try!  The best part is she serenades with a beautifully channeled song at the end of each class that really calls our hearts.  Judy is a uniquely talented person who is worth meeting\, and that’s no stretch!  Check it out!”\n~ Jonjy Ananth \nJudy is a fantastic yoga teacher with gifts of compassionate attention\, awareness of healing processes\, authenticity\, and spiritual openness.

It was an open and rewarding environment for learning with a great group of people. At the end of class\, I am uplifted by the channelled songs of love.”\n~ Aimée K. \nJudy O’Leary Thapa\, C-IAYT\, is a multifaceted wellness professional based in Massachusetts\, known for her work as a yoga teacher\, yoga therapist\, and energy healer.

SUMMARY:Collective Solidarity Fast for Gaza
DESCRIPTION:At a time when thousands of people in Gaza are facing malnutrition and starvation\, we are inviting people to set aside a day to fast in solidarity. Fasting raises our awareness of what the Palestinian people are experiencing\, and increases our compassion.\n\nOn Monday\, August 11th\, please consider fasting during the day and praying for the speedy delivery of food\, medicine\, and other necessities for the people in Gaza.\n\nAt 6pm\, we’ll gather in the sanctuary of the Spiritual Center to reflect on our experiences of fasting and pray together for all who are suffering from hunger in Gaza and around the world.*\n\nThrough our fasting and our time together\, we will build our collective hope and resolve to build a world in which the sacredness and humanity of each person is recognized and respected\, and in which violent warfare is no longer accepted as a way to resolve international disputes.\n\nAs a way to support those experiencing hunger\, given that delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza is currently blocked\, you are invited to donate to a local food bank such as the Natick Service Council or to bring nonperishable food and hygiene products for our Common Good Mini Pantry at the Spiritual Center.\n\n*We are also mindful\, for example\, that millions of people in Sudan\, South Sudan\, and Haiti are also facing emergency levels of food insecurity due to destabilizing conflicts and displacement.

SUMMARY:Study and Integration
DESCRIPTION:Study and IntegrationBi-weekly Sundays at 1:00pmFacilitated by Ian Mevorach\, Director of the Common Street Spiritual Center \nYou’re warmly invited to join Study and Integration\, a bi-weekly spiritual gathering dedicated to deepening our relationship with both sacred texts and our own direct spiritual experiences. \nEvery other Sunday\, we will come together in a confidential and supportive circle to explore the scriptures and sacred writings of the world’s spiritual traditions—texts brought by participants and approached with reverence\, curiosity\, and contemplative openness. We’ll study not just with our minds\, but with our hearts and lives—listening for how the divine speaks through the words and symbols of many paths. \nOn alternating Sundays\, we’ll shift our focus to integration—sharing and grounding our own spiritual experiences in community. These may be moments of awakening\, struggle\, clarity\, or divine encounter. Together\, we will reflect on how these experiences shape our lives and how they resonate with the sacred texts we study. \nThis group is an opportunity to journey together over time\, learning from each other’s traditions\, insights\, and transformations. You’re encouraged to bring sacred texts that are meaningful to you and a willingness to engage in honest\, spirit-led reflection. \nAll are welcome—whether you’re rooted in a specific tradition or seeking across many. Come with your questions\, your wisdom\, and your wonder.
