2025-03-24 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Soulfire Sisterhood – The Alchemy of Healing & Transformation (Women’s Circle)
Every other Monday, 7:00–8:00 PM EST
I invite you to a sacred sisterhood—a space to reclaim your energy, reconnect with your truth, and rise in your power.
You pour so much into your family, your home, and your work—but when was the last time you poured into yourself?
This is your time. Together, we ignite the alchemy of healing and transformation, transmuting pain into wisdom, wounds into strength, and fear into love.
Through heart-centered practices—including energy healing, guided visualization, intuitive energy activations, and journaling—we create a nurturing sanctuary for deep self-reflection, emotional release, and soul nourishment. As we honor our individual healing journeys, we also awaken the wisdom of our lineage, drawing strength from those who walked before us.
This is an invitation to step fully into yourself—to be seen, heard, and held in the profound power of sisterhood.
Come as you are. Leave feeling rooted, radiant, and reignited with the fire of your soul.
Bring a friend to share this sacred time together!

A Course in Miracles
2025-03-26 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-04-02 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.

Surviving on The Dance Floor Workshop and Ecstatic Dance Event
2025-03-27 18:30 - 21:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
TWO-LEFT FEET?
SELF-CONSCIOUS?
RHYTHMICALLY CHALLENGED?
Do you wish that you could just get out on the dance floor and have fun like everyone else, but you’re a little too self-conscious to take the risk?
Would you like to be able to blend in and have fun at parties, weddings, and even dance clubs?
If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then you’re going to love this!
The truth is, there isn’t much help out there for total beginners when it comes to freestyle dancing. Sure, there are dozens of places to learn swing or salsa, but when it comes to basic vocabulary of dance moves or “fast dancing” with someone at a party, people just expect you to know how to do it.
The good news is that this workshop is perfect for total beginners to learn social dance floor basics, blend in, and have FUN at weddings, parties, events, and any dance floor!
*************************************************
HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
*************************************************
• How to “find the beat” in any music so you know exactly how to dance to it.
• The #1 secret you were never taught about how to have rhythm (once you know this, you can dance to any song and blend right in).
• You’ll learn exactly what to do with your feet and hands so you look totally natural on the dance floor.
• You’ll learn the basic framework of freestyle dance and how to use it to discover your own unique style of movement (it’s much easier than you think!)
• And much more!
*************************************************

Sacred Cacao and Connection Ceremony
2025-03-28 18:00 - 21:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
About this event
You’re invited to come experience the power of love at our new event – Cacao & Connection.
When was the last time you felt truly seen and connected with others? We’re creating an intimate space where you can open your heart and experience meaningful connections.
We start the evening with a beautiful heart-opening cacao ceremony. Our ceremonial-grade cacao from Prophecy Chocolate is enhanced with almond milk, warming spices, vanilla, and maple syrup, creating a unique and creamy blend that opens the heart while gently stimulating and expanding consciousness.
This helps you drop into a more heart-centered place where you can feel the warmth of your own love. From this place, you can connect more easily and deeply with others (and with yourself).
Next we move into playing some connection games
WHAT ARE CONNECTION GAMES?
Rather than having a bunch of polite small talk, we will focus on playing games that create heartfelt connections with each other.
By participating in these eye opening (and 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.
And on a practical level, you’ll also learn tools that you can use in your everyday life to create a deeper connections with others.
Does that sound like music to your ears? We are excited to co-create this intentional social / ceremonial gathering together with you.
GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF AN OPEN HEART
We all long for love and connection in our lives. This is your invitation to experience something truly special – an evening of opening your heart, making meaningful connections, and nourishing your body and soul.
I’ve spent years perfecting my cacao recipe, drawing inspiration from my time living in Paris to create something extraordinary. The result is a luxurious blend that rivals French hot chocolate while maintaining the potent, heart-opening properties of ceremonial cacao.
We complete this sensory journey with a comforting vegan soup, thoughtfully prepared by my partner Amanda, whose plant-based cuisine is truly an art form.
Does your heart whisper “yes” to this experience? We’d love to share this sacred evening with you.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
Warmly,
Jason and Amanda
