Yoga is a practice that unites the mind and body. In fact, yoga means “to yoke” or unite. It is an ancient healing practice that is both physical and spiritual, incorporating postures, breath, and meditation. Yoga heals! From numerous forms of trauma, anxiety, and physical stiffness, yoga provides relief and builds a strong physical and spiritual core.
Join us every Monday from 7-8 pm for a vinyasa flow that will strengthen and energize as well as promote flexibility and balance. We will also experience inner peace by the closing meditation called Shivasana. Please bring a mat and water bottle, and the class meets in the beautiful sanctuary.

A Course in Miracles
2024-12-04 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.

Gospel Ceremony
2024-12-06 19:00 - 23:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Experience Jesus’ message of love holistically in an inclusive spiritual setting, without any dogma or sectarianism blocking the way.
Fri, Dec 6th, Doors at 7pm, ceremony begins around 8pm and lasts several hours
The heart of this Gospel Ceremony is a dramatic reading of the entire Gospel of Mark (lasts just under 2hrs) facilitated by Rev. Dr. Ian Mevorach, director of the Common Street Spiritual Center; he has been a student of Jesus and other great prophets and spiritual teachers for over 20 years.
The.reading of the Gospel will be offered with very minimal explanation, in trust that it speaks for itself, and will be accompanied by embodied practices of remembrance and enactment that will awaken our imaginations and give us ways to somatically experience the meaning of the story.
Such practices may include meditation, journaling, mindfully drinking cacao, coffee and/or tea, sharing the ritual bread and wine of communion, prayer, singing, contemplative or dramatic readings, partnered or small group reflective practices, etc. These practices will be woven organically into the experience of the Gospel story, similar to audience participation in improvisational theater contexts. There will be plenty of laughter and serious moments in this sacred gathering insofar as the Gospel itself is both a divine tragedy and divine comedy.
While the Gospel writings are essential to Christianity, Christianity is not essential to the Gospel writings; similarly, Jesus is essential to the Gospel writings, but the Gospel writings are not essential to Jesus. The goal of the Gospel Ceremony is not to convert participants to any form or sect of Christianity, but rather to create an inclusive and dynamic space where people of diverse belief systems and philosophical perspectives can share in an authentic experience of the Gospel of Jesus, which is a message of love that transcends religious categories and forms; insofar as this sacred message does relate to religious traditions like Christianity, it tends more towards their deconstruction and transformation rather than their establishment and maintenance.
People of all beliefs, spiritual paths, and religious identities, and those who do not identify as religious and/or spiritual, are all equally welcome to participate, and people of all ages are also welcome. There is no charge to attend the Gospel Ceremony, though donations to the Spiritual Center are always welcome at www.commonstreet.org/give. Also, ceremony participants are very welcome to arrive early or stay late to help with setup/cleanup, and to offer assistance and contribute their talents and energy in various ways during the ceremonial practice itself.
What to bring:
Water bottle, yoga mat and/or meditation cushion to sit on (or you can borrow one, or use a chair), a journal (optional), Bible (optional if you want to read along), blanket (optional), mug for coffee/tea (or we’ll have paper cups).
For questions, or to volunteer, please contact Ian at ian@commonstreet.org
