MIke Tamburo Sound Meditation Concert in Natick
2024-07-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Mike Tamburo of Crown of Eternity returns to Natick for a powerful sound meditation and musical experience!
Allow yourself to enter a timeless space of listening as Crown of Eternity’s Mike Tamburo orchestrates his way through 50+ overtone rich instruments including Gongs, Bells, Hammered Dulcimer and tuned metal instruments. Listeners have described Mike Tamburo’s music as an adventure in listening; sonic bliss; a deep and lasting vibrational rejuvenation for body and spirit; a profound aesthetic experience; a journey through the senses and a perceptual roller coaster. Allow yourself to be still and listen.
Space is limited! Get your tickets in advance!
PLEASE BRING a yoga mat, blanket, or cushion for your comfort during extended relaxation on the floor.
We invite you to co-create a sensitive, safe, deep listening and meditative experience for all participants. It is expected that all will commit to an agreement of being still, quiet and honor and respect a deep transformative space throughout the entire experience. It is our intention to create an inclusive experience.
ABOUT MIKE TAMBURO
Mike Tamburo is a world-renowned musician, composer, artist and educator. He is known and loved for his transformational live concerts performed on his personally curated set of gongs, bells and other metal instruments.
A lifelong multi-instrumentalist, Tamburo has focused his talents on metal percussion instruments, string instruments (hammered dulcimer, guitar, zither, shahi baaja), as well as electronic instruments (synths, looping).
Since 1994, Tamburo has shared more than 2,000 concerts and workshops. He has recorded over 70 albums, both solo and in collaboration with Crown of Eternity, Meisha, Arco Flute Foundation, Psychic Frost, Brother Ong and more, ranging from epic gong music to ecstatic and transcendental string music, as well as folk, drone, space rock, ambient, mantra music and sometimes unclassifiable sounds. This man loves music in all its forms!
He teaches gong music, both in person and online with School of Gong. He is also a part of the far-reaching ethnomusicology trio, Dig Deeper, with Mitch Nur and Thomas Orr Anderson. Their online classes have explored countless musical concepts with a focus on the cultural and personal uses of sound for healing, meditation, trance, ecstatic states, relaxation, self transformation, perception, psycho-acoustics, scientific discovery, time and community.
An early adoptee of meditation, Tamburo’s music offers space for journeying, self-exploration and deep introspection. During many of his early performances, he experienced altered states of consciousness and out of body experiences. To understand these experiences, he explored kundalini yoga, energy work, the therapeutic use of sound and how sound impacts consciousness, human perception and self healing. His love for long sustained drones, overtones and psychoacoustics continues to inspire him to explore music in further directions.
Tamburo is also an interdisciplinary sound artist, instrument builder, video artist, sound therapist, writer and meditation teacher.

Awakening - Exploring The Dance Of Light & Dark
2024-07-14 18:30 - 21:00 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Dear friends,
You are invited to join us for a unique and enriching spiritual experience at our gathering called Awakening.
This is definitely not a traditional church service. Awakening offers a space where individuals can come together to explore and deepen their spiritual journey in a supportive community setting.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT AWAKENING:
– Brief Music/Meditation: Take a moment to settle in. Experience the power of mindfulness and connect with Spirit.
– Interactive Exploration and Discussion: Explore both the light and dark aspects of life (and of yourself) with nuance and compassion instead of rules and judgment.
– Engage in meaningful reflection, open dialogue, and explore innovative perspectives. Do you disagree with commonly held ideas about our Divine nature? BRING IT! This is a place where you have permission to share and explore your truth with other intelligent beings who have similar questions.
– Stories From The Other Side: Hear stories from people who have had direct experiences with the other side.
– Coffee / Chai Hour: After our gathering, join us for a relaxed coffee hour where you can connect with fellow attendees, discuss ideas, and deepen your sense of community.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
At Awakening, there are no experts or authorities dictating how you should think or live. Instead, we embrace curiosity and inquiry, encouraging questions that expand our possibilities and foster personal growth.
Come be a part of this experiment with us. Let’s create something beautiful together. All that’s required is an open mind and a willingness to explore.
Please RSVP to this event by grabbing your free ticket on Eventbrite. Your RSVP helps us ensure a meaningful experience for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you at Awakening.
Jason and Amanda

Dub Yoga
2024-07-18 19:00 - 20:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
? UNIQUE EVENT ? Strictly Yard Ent. presents DUB YOGA Thursday, July 18th I August15th I Sep 19th from 7-8 pm at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick, MA.
? This will be a special evening of Yoga, Dub & Reggae, and community featuring Yoga from Dr. Jen Kurz in tandem with live DJing from Selector Jah Rich!
❤️ All levels of Yoga are welcome to this vinyasa flow, there is plenty of parking, and the cost is $10 or food pantry donations. All are welcome!
?️ The beautiful Common Street Spiritual Center is the place to be, and this venue continues to host and promote top tier spiritual entrepreneurship and community events in the MetroWest.
? This is the second summer of DUB YOGA and last year’s sessions were well attended and received!
? WHAT IS DUB, might you ask?
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. Dub 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! Jamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is credited as the inventor 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 heard in genres like techno, drum and bass, and dubstep. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music. Jah Rich 7/19/23
Suggested donation $10 or food pantry donations of non-perishable items.
All welcome!
