A Course in Miracles
2025-07-09 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Online
A Course in Miracles was channeled by Jesus in the 60’s to a Columbia University medical school faculty member, perhaps to help us remember the message he came to teach when he walked on this earth.
Each week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.”
Has any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear, guilt and hatred, suspicion and divisiveness?
Whether a beginner, a student of many years, or an on-again/off again inquirer, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together, is love manifest.
We meet by ZOOM, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Men's Wisdom Council
2025-07-10 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Meeting Room of CSSC
Men’s Wisdom Council
We gather to explore what it means to be a man in today’s world. Society often hands us roles to play but offers little guidance. And the role models presented to us often fail to speak to our deepest concerns or the callings of our spirit.
For generations, councils have served as a sacred space for men to gather, share wisdom, and listen deeply. The Men’s Wisdom Council continues this tradition—creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can share our stories, voice our challenges, and learn from one another. Together, we explore what it means to move through the stages of life as men with authenticity and purpose.
All men are welcome to join the circle—whether for a single session or as an ongoing journey.
For questions or more information, contact Michael Corthell at michaelacorthell@gmail.com.

Here are the details…
-Doors open at 6:30 for stretching, snacking, and socializing while music in the background sets the mood.
-There will be an intention-setting meditation a little after 7:00pm.
-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.
-Then, cool down and ground with a soothing sound/song bath meditation.
-Stick around, have snacks, and socialize for a bit after the sound bath if you wish!
There 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!
To 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.
Bring 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.
I hope to see you there to jive, shake, wiggle, jump, twirl, and other words that describe movement…
Peace & Respect,
Jason A. Karol 🤝💚✨🙏

Sound Journey: A Transformational sonic experience
2025-07-13 17:00 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Sound Journey: A Transformational sonic experience
With Dave Fiuczynski (Professor at Berklee College of Music) & Nissa Diantina (Yoga Teacher, Breath Guide)

Description:
Sound journey is an immersive sound healing event that combines gentle movement, breath, and groundbreaking live music. This offering is ideal for studios and wellness centers seeking to expand their programming with a deeply transformative, one-of-a-kind experience.

What It Includes:
20–25 minutes of guided breath and stretching led by Nissa Diantina, designed to ground participants and prepare the body to receive sound.
40–45 minutes of live, meditative soundscape created by Dave Fiuczynski on his custom double-neck guitar, tuned to healing frequencies.
The journey blends subtle movement with powerful sonic vibrations that support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and inner transformation.

Why It’s Unique:
Unlike traditional sound baths using bowls or gongs, this event features a live musical performance by a world-renowned guitarist who weaves frequencies, microtones, and ambient textures in real time. Combined with mindful movement and breathwork, this format invites participants into a multi-sensory, soul-centered journey.
