“A Winter Eden”
by Robert Frost.
A winter Eden in an alder swamp
Where conies now come out to sun and romp,
As near a paradise as it can be
And not melt snow or start a dormant tree.

It lifts existence on a plane of snow
One level higher than the earth below,
One level nearer heaven overhead
And last year’s berries shining scarlet red.

(Come by for the rest of the poem… )

Group Healing Circle- Welcoming in the New 2024 Energies
2023-12-30 16:00 - 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
We gather together to align ourselves to the new, powerful energies of 2024.
What is a Group Healing Circle?
Group healings are a powerful opportunity for participants 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, 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 people 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 people. 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

Natick Open Mic
2023-12-30 18:30 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
The Natick Open Mic welcomes performers of all kinds, although we ask that groups are limited to 4 people. Performances can be songs, poetry readings, story telling, dancing, pretty much any kind of live entertainment that you can create in the moment.

Each act gets 8 minutes of stage time, including setup, introduction and tear down, so be sure to be efficient with your use of time. We will supply a full PA and lighting system to make you look and sound great.

You can get your name on the roster ahead of the event, but if there is still room on the roster on the day of the show, you can still snag a slot. We’ll start taking names for the roster a week before the show (Bruno Giles will be the contact person for getting on the roster).

The order of acts will be determined by random selection on the day of the show, but you’ll be relieved to know that Bruno and Dave C will be the first and last acts, so you don’t need to worry about filling those spots.

A Course in Miracles
2024-01-03 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.
