Bollywood Dance for Kids
2024-02-03 14:30 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Kids between the age of 4-8 learn and perform Bollywood dance.
Gift your kid a piece of a fun culture. See your kids shine with all the confidence when they perform, your eyes will tear up and your heart will fill with pride. Dancing (especially Bollywood) and performing is one of the best ways to build confident personality and presence, saying this based on my personal experience. Let them start early so they don’t have those could’ve should’ve moments, and they learn to venture into the world with 100% of their ability. And did I mention the health and happiness benefits?
Yup! All this just by dancing on some of the awesomest Bollywood music for 10 Saturdays.

Group Energy Healing Circle
2024-02-03 16:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York)
Group Energy Healing Circle
Join us in a potent space of shared healing where Spirit guides us to collectively metabolize old wounding, not through reliving pain, but through powerful energy shifts. Each session is unique, addressing concerns like releasing grief and fear seated deep in the body or enhancing our energetic tools to help ourselves and others.
Expect 45-60 minutes of profound transformation. Through guided meditation, we open to Spirit’s guidance, allowing Diana to channel Its gifts: the release of tension held in the body; upgrades to our energy systems; or simple, nourishing support.
The Healing
Diana channels Spirit’s wisdom, weaving Arenal Volcano energy, Jaguar energy, and blessings from the Archangels into transformative group healings, igniting a unique alchemy of release and empowerment within each participant.
Diana Phillips- is a gifted practitioner who has worked in the healing arts since 2004. In the last few years, Spirit has gifted her a unique set of healing energies to assist individuals and lineages.

Group Healing Goddess Circle
2024-02-03 16:30 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Release what’s ready to be released. Led by Diana Phillips
What is a Group Healing Circle?
Group healings are a powerful opportunity for women to clear and release issues shared collectively. The nature of the collective group energy field amplifies the healing that is imparted. Each group healing is different, since Spirit determines what we will address. Sometimes, we work deeply to release a concern like fear held in the body. At other times, Spirit upgrades our energy system, giving us tools to help others. The healings are transformative and support our awakening. Usually, group healings last 45-60 minutes. Participants are welcome to ask for support with a specific matter beforehand. During the group healing, we meditate and Diana brings through what Spirit offers us. After the healing, we meditate in the stillness. Finally, those who are moved to are invited to share their experiences.
How are the healings transmitted? Diana leads group healings with help from Spirit, the Arenal Volcano, Jaguar energy, Divine Grace, and the Archangels.
Diana Phillips- is a gifted practitioner who has worked in the healing arts since 2004. In the last few years, Spirit has given her a very strong set of healing energies that she uses to release issues of our physical, mental, and emotional bodies, our souls, past lives, and ancestral lineage.
What participants say about past group healings:
“Diana has created a beautiful space for women to come together and connect with one another. Through guided meditation, imagery, and Spirit, we are magically transformed by the intertwining tapestry of physical and spiritual communion. Diana freely shares her gifts of connection with Spirit and beautifully facilitates a safe, non-judgmental space for women. I am always in awe of the peace and renewal I feel at the end of each session. This is a MUST for those committed to healing and growth.”- Sara S
“Diana is an incredibly warm and kind person with really remarkable gifts that she so kindly shares within these healing groups. The energy she channels in these goddess sessions is extremely powerful and I can really feel the affects during and after the sessions. Diana’s groups are really for anyone who is seeking healing and growth, as you don’t have to be an expert meditator to participate. During the sessions Diana channels the powerful energies she works with and then they do their thing while Diana shepards us through it all with her breathe and her words and afterwards you feel great, it’s really quite magical. I highly recommend working with Diana and participating in one of her goddess healing circles! Both Diana and the work she does are absolutely wonderful.” M.L.

Stone Painting w/ the Abundant Love Project
2024-02-04 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Creating stones for our global Random Acts of Kindness
Abundant Love Project
We aim to touch the hearts of individuals through a simple random act of kindness: we draw a heart on a stone and leave it in a public place for someone to find. With each stone is a note that tells the finder that no matter how bad their day is going, they are loved…and to keep going. They are worth it and their life matters to many.
The founder of this project lost her daughter to suicide and it was the factor that led to the birth of The Abundant Love Project. I lost my brother to suicide as well, and it is my mission to remind others that they are not alone and show people that they are loved. I personally know the profound effect from a random act of kindness. It can facilitate a momentary shift in a person’s thinking and help them realize that they are loved and needed on earth. Many people who find the stones will write letters saying exactly that.
*I will supply the stones, paint pens, and stickers. You are welcome to bring your own supplies. I will bring printed notes, but encourage people to write a message which adds a personal touch. A donation for the supplies is greatly appreciated but not required. Typically $10-$20 per person covers the cost of the supplies.

A Course in Miracles
2024-02-07 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | France
A Course in Miracles: 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.

Men's Wisdom Council
2024-02-08 08:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-08 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
What does it mean to be a “Man”?
Most men find that there is no clear answer to that question. It’s never been easy being a man. We take on the roles that society assigns us, without being given clear instructions. Role models that are offered up to us don’t speak to our deeper concerns, or rarely reply from the depths that our spirits require.
Councils have long been used by many traditions and cultures as a way to come together and gain a greater understanding of the world. The Men’s Wisdom Council continues this sacred tradition of sharing and deep listening.
Our circle we will strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can take turns telling our stories, sharing our concerns, and learning from each other—as we explore how we, as men, walk through the stages of our lives.
Please contact Michael Corthell (michaelacorthell@gmail.com) (text: 617-921-1321) for any questions that you may have.
Meets upstairs in the “studio” space. Enter through school street door.
