A Course in Miracles
2024-02-14 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.

-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 at 7:00 with a theme regarding self, love, relationships, matters of the heart… you know, all things Valentine’s Day.
-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 sound bath featuring singing bowls, shamanic drumming, and more to close out the event.
-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!
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
P.S. – To go along with the Valentine’s Day theme, an attendee at the December ‘Divine Design’ gave me an idea. The idea? To create a setlist for this Valentine’s Day ‘Divine Design’ that tells a relationship story through music… a movie for the ears/mind, if you will. Challenge accepted! ? I won’t give away the plot of the story before the event though. If you want to know what happens to our soul-crossed symbolic lovers, you’ll just have to come, dance, and find out on February 16th! ??✨

Bollywood Dance for Kids
2024-02-17 13:30 - 14:30 (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.

The Art of Meaning - Finding Hidden Value in the Story of Your Life
2024-02-17 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
After 33 years of exploring the world of personal growth, I can confidently say that there is one skill I’ve acquired that has served me more than anything else.
It’s the skill that has allowed me to:
– Untangle the confusing events and themes of my childhood
– Find lightness and freedom in places where I was deeply stuck
– Develop a kind of emotional & cognitive agility I never knew was possible
– Help others become free in ways that were surprising to us both
– And much more
That skill is the art of meaning making.
What is that exactly?
It’s the ability to see multiple “truths” inside the same situation. It’s the ability to create meaning around a particular event or memory in a way that moves you forward in your life rather than keeping you stuck.
To me this is one of the golden keys of personal transformation.
Meanings come in all forms. You can have meanings around things like:
– The story of why you are the way you are
– Why you’ve been stuck for so long
– Emotionally charged memories that serve as reference points for how you make decisions and live your life
The meaning you invest your attention into can keep you in a kind of mental prison (unable to break free, get unstuck, move on, etc.).
Or…
Meaning can gently and elegantly open a pathway forward for you. One that has been there all along, but was invisible to you because the meaning you were previously stuck inside of actually prevented you from seeing it.
What I love about meaning making is that it’s a skill you can learn. The better you get at it, the more you can look forward to these important benefits opening up for you:
First, you become more agile in your ability to navigate life skillfully and gracefully. You feel more capable and able to take on anything that matters to you.
Second, you become antifragile. When something comes along that would diminish most people, the skillful use of meaning making can make you stronger, more resilient, and transform the adversity you’re facing into a source of strength and love (for you and others).
And you can do this without the circumstances or the people involved needing to change.
How would you like to learn, explore, and experiment with this almost magical ability… using your own life’s stories as your playground?
If this sounds intriguing to you, then I invite you to come explore with us inside our experimental container. This is a container where we leave behind “I’m right” and “I know the truth”.
Instead we explore questions that open up possibility and create space inside your mind and especially in your heart.
If you resonate with what you see here, then you are welcome to join us. We’ll explore the art of deliberate meaning making together, and then share what we discovered with each other so we can all grow in surprising, new ways.
To register, simply RSVP here, and then click the FIND TICKETS button to complete your registration on Eventbrite for free. The event is limited to 25 people due to space constraints at the spiritual center.
With love,
Jason
P.S. – This workshop is free to attend. All I ask is that you show up ready to engage with us and participate fully.
