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.

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 Healing Goddess Circle
2024-01-06 16:30 - 18:30 (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.

Intro to Shamanic Journeying
2024-01-07 16:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
“Shamanic journeying is the inner art of traveling to the invisible worlds beyond ordinary reality in order to retrieve information for change in any area of our lives, from spirituality and health to work and relationships” (Sandra Ingerman, 2007).
Power animals are an elemental component of shamanism and all shamans work with power animals to help bring about spiritual, physical and emotional healing at the soul or spirit level. One or more power animals may help us throughout our lives. All of us have access to our power animals and our power animals want to work with us!
In this workshop, you will be guided to independently travel to the shamanic lower world through a meditative journeying state and meet your power animal. We will also discover the various ways to work with power animals in daily life and to assist in understanding specific intentions or gifts they have to offer.
It is recommended you bring any items that will help you descend into this state of consciousness. Such materials can include an eye covering, pillow, blanket, mat, and wearing comfortable clothing.
A limited amount of cushions, yoga mats, and blankets will be available for use.
In your shamanic journey space, you may gain information from the lower world spirits and your power animal. Bringing a journal can be valuable to record the messages received for further integration and referencing.
No prior shamanic or journeying experience necessary. All levels of shamanic practice are welcome!
Plan to arrive upstairs at the Moon Room approximately 15 minutes early for check in and set up.
Email Sherry and Colleen at owls.rising@gmail.com with questions.
