Mai-Tri Session
2023-12-26 16:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Mohanji Foundation is organising a session of MaiTri Method, a deep energy cleansing, healing and harmonising process on Dec 26th at Common Street Spiritual Center.

Mai-Tri Method is a profound method of deep cleansing and harmonizing in which deep-seated subconscious blockages are removed, even from the subtlest layer of our existence – the causal body – where seeds of karmic impressions are stored.

While the cleansing reaches deep into the energy records, it is important to note that Mai-Tri Method does not interfere with the destiny aspect of karma (as this is what has been chosen at the soul level, be it pleasant or unpleasant to our mind).

The actual word meaning of “Mai-tri” is friendship, companionship, collaboration, or simply togetherness. “Mai” means mother. The word mother represents unconditional love, protection, care, consistency of emotions, continuity, life, creation etc. Mother also represents levitation, as in the womb experience. Womb represents the creation as well as healing.

The program is scheduled between 4-7pm. You could register and select one time slot, which suits you. The duration of the session is 30mins. There is a suggested donation of $30, of which 50% would be used to feed the needy.

A Course in Miracles
2023-12-27 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.

Men's Wisdom Council
2023-12-28 07:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
What does it mean to be a “Man”?
Most men find that there is no clear answer to that question. It’s never been easy being a man. We take on the roles that society assigns us, without being given clear instructions. Role models that are offered up to us don’t speak to our deeper concerns, or rarely reply from the depths that our spirits require.
Councils have long been used by many traditions and cultures as a way to come together and gain a greater understanding of the world. The Men’s Wisdom Council continues this sacred tradition of sharing and deep listening.
Our circle we will strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can take turns telling our stories, sharing our concerns, and learning from each other—as we explore how we, as men, walk through the stages of our lives.
Please contact Michael Corthell (michaelacorthell@gmail.com) for any questions that you may have.
Meets upstairs in the “studio” space. Enter through school street door.

“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
