Over the last seven years, she has worked as a volunteer faculty with several student and adult groups to bring a lasting impact to their lives.

A Course in Miracles
2025-02-12 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.

Valentine's Day - Cacao Ceremony & Deep Connection Mixer
2025-02-14 18:30 - 21:30 | Fellowship Hall @ Common Street, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
This Valentine’s Day 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
Valentine’s Day reminds us how deeply 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.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where is it? – The event is held at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick, MA which is a beautiful facility for an event like this.
What time? – We start promptly at 6:30pm and go until 9:30pm (with a break in the middle). Please plan on arriving by 6:15pm so you have time to settle in and meet the other members.
How much? – The cost is $45 which is makes this a very affordable experience for anyone. This includes the cost of the cacao and the homemade vegan soup that’s provided at the end to help ground you.
How can I best prepare? – We will send you some instructions ahead of time. It’s best to not eat 2-3 hours beforehand so your body can quickly absorb the cacao, and you can drop into the experience.
We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
Warmly,
Jason
