A Course in Miracles
2023-12-06 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.

The end of the year is near. As one chapter ends another one begins. In this unique 90 minutes experience Somatic Breath-work, Sound, Vibration and Frequency therapies are combined. Somatic Breath-work is an inward journey, where you explore and encounter who you truly are at the root of your soul through breath. Transmuting what no longer serves you so that you can make decisions in your life from a clear perspective. Synchronizing back to your heart beat. As we move through life we have traumatic experiences and those experiences get stored in our bodies and energetic fields. Through breath and sound we are able to transmute those emotions and receive clarity to be present in our relationships, our passions and in our lives. Sound/Vibration allows every cell in your body to be cleansed, restored and rejuvenated creating an invigorating encounter in the journey of life allowing true healing to happen. If you are ready to transform and create space to reconstruct the life of your dreams this event is for you.

“Śakti – Power of the Divine Feminine” — yoga and self-empowering workshop
An energetic afternoon of dynamic yoga, deep reflection, breath-work, mindful meditations, beautiful music, and insightful yogic philosophy workshop to learn, explore and activate our Śakti energy.
We will explore the history and sacredness of the divine Feminine – Shakti.
How Kundalini shakti is the very energy of consciousness, which, when aroused, brings higher states of awareness. A powerful energy, when activated, may manifest our physical, mental, and spiritual lives. More importantly, how we can cultivate & harness Śakti & Kundalinī energies to help live a purposeful and balanced life of strength, resilience, and compassion.
“When the sleeping goddess Kundalini is awakened, through the grace of the Guru, all the chakras and the bonds are readily pierced through and through.” (Siva Samhita, 4:13)”
If curious, please just come out to learn about Śakti feminine energy and experience the power & joy of Kundalinī Yoga.
Workshop is free and open to the public. Of course, donations to the Common Street Spiritual Center are always encouraged.

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.
