A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
2026-02-11 19:00 - 20:30, 2026-02-18 19:00 - 20:30 | 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.

Death Café - A space for open, respectful conversations about death
2026-02-12 18:30 - 19:30 | Meeting Room of CSSC
What is a Death Café?

A Death Café is a facilitated gathering where people come together to talk openly about death, dying, and mortality.
The goal is to increase awareness of death in order to help people make the most of their lives.

There is no set agenda. Conversation is participant-led and guided by curiosity, listening, and mutual respect.

What a Death Café Is
•A welcoming, confidential space for conversation
•A place to share thoughts, questions, stories, and reflections about death
•Open to anyone, regardless of beliefs or background
•Based on respect, listening, and equality among participants
•A non-commercial space – no products, services, or businesses will be promoted

What a Death Café Is Not
•Not grief counseling or group therapy
•Not a support group
•Not a place for medical, legal, or financial advice
•Not affiliated with any religion, ideology, or belief system
•Not about persuading others how to think or feel
•Not a venue for promotion of any business or service

A Brief History
Death Café originated in 2004 with Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz, who created informal gatherings called Cafés Mortels.
In 2011, Jon Underwood brought the concept to the UK, where it became known as Death Café.
Since then, Death Cafés have spread worldwide as a grassroots movement, held in homes, libraries, cafés, community centers, and online.

What to Expect
•Open conversation
•A respectful, non-judgmental atmosphere
•Tea and cookies will be served

This is purely a conversational space, with no intention to sell, persuade, or lead participants to any particular conclusion.

Authentic Relating Games: Joy & Play!
2026-02-20 17:30 - 20:30 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Want a night that’s genuinely fun, surprisingly connecting, and nothing like awkward small talk? Join us for an evening of playful Authentic Relating Games—designed to spark laughter, curiosity, and real human connection without getting heavy or intense. In this “Joy & Play”–themed game night, we’ll explore presence with lightness and rediscover how easy connection becomes when play comes first.

What is Authentic Relating?
Authentic Relating is a playful practice of connecting more honestly and curiously with yourself and others—without scripts, pressure, or performative depth. Through simple games, we create space to:

Be Present: Drop into what’s happening right now—with ease and humor.
Be Curious: Listen, respond, and explore connection in real time.
Be Real (Lightly): Show up as yourself, without needing to be polished, deep, or “on.”

What to Expect
We use guided, low-stakes games and exercises that gently bypass surface-level conversation and invite genuine connection—while keeping things fun, relaxed, and accessible. No experience required.

Playful & Engaging: Expect laughter, surprises, and moments of “oh wow, that was easier than I thought.”
Clear & Supportive Container: Simple agreements help everyone feel comfortable and respected.
Leave Feeling: More energized, connected, and deeply understood.

Let’s throw out the rule book from society and start connecting in an authentic way with ourselves and others. Come as you are. Bring your curiosity. Let play do the work.

About the Facilitators:
Nathan Kessel weaves his experience in mindfulness meditation, Nonviolent Communication, Circling, embodiment, Buddhism, and the work of Joanna Macy to co-create experiences that help people connect deeply with themselves and others. He deeply believes in the power of genuine connection, understanding, and empathy to help heal and transform our world for the better.
Tiffany Hawco creates spaces people return to—grounded, alive, and deeply human. A facilitator, somatic breathwork practitioner, hula hoop teacher, and environmentalist, she integrates breath, movement, and intuitive facilitation into experiences that invite reflection and connection. Guided by curiosity and compassion, Tiffany’s vibrant, nurturing presence encourages participants to trust their own voices while cultivating meaningful connection with one another and the Earth.
Suggested donation: $20–$45 (offered in the spirit of generosity, no one turned away)
We would be so grateful if you could RSVP here!
We’re looking forward to connecting with you all soon!

Monthly Goddess Gathering at Common Street
Sisters of Common Street, this is your invitation to step into a space created just for you, a place to be seen, heard, and supported by the women who share this community with you.
Each month, we gather to connect in a real, grounded way. We share our stories, hold space for each other’s joys and struggles, and grow together through the beauty and messiness of life. Some nights we laugh until our sides ache, and other nights we sit quietly in reflection. All of it belongs.
This is a circle for every woman at Common Street. Whether you’ve been here for years or just walked through the doors. Bring your whole self. Bring your curiosity. Bring your heart.
Come as you are, leave feeling nourished and connected.
