SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles
DESCRIPTION: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.” \nHas 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?\n\nWhether 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.\n\nhttps://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/91709436048?pwd=eXpvM2dpYlhPNE1aNGE5cEFtOER4Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 917 0943 6048\nPasscode: 695321\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,91709436048#\,\,\,\,*695321# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,91709436048#\,\,\,\,*695321# US (Chicago)

SUMMARY:Community Healing Circle + Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Our community is coming together to create a healing circle\, a brave space where we can be real about feeling the pain in our lives and moving through that together into a deeper joy.\n\n\nWe invite you into a space of vulnerability and healing. You’re welcome to bring your pain\, your trauma\, and also your strength and intentions to hold space for others in their healing. Together we will find balance and a reassurance that we are loved and we are OK\, together. Our intention is to create a held space within which we can trust ourselves to feel the pain we need to\, on the way to wholeness\, and on the way to a life of greater balance and joy.\n\n\nAfter our circle process\, we’ll have space to connect together over a shared meal\, to decompress\, allow our normal boundaries to come back\, and move ourselves gently through sustenance and nurture back into the world.\n\n\nThe circle is from 2-5\, the potluck is from 5-7 (and is optional).\n\nThe Community Healing Circle is free and open to the whole community. Please RSVP below so we know who will be there!\n\n****\n\n\n\nAn Invitation to Brave Space \nBy Micky ScottBey Jones inspired by a poem by Beth Strano \nTogether we will create brave space\nBecause there is no such thing as a “safe space”\nWe exist in the real world\nWe all carry scars and we have all caused wounds.\nIn this space\nWe seek to turn down the volume of the outside world\,\nWe amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere\,\nWe call each other to more truth and love\nWe have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow.\nWe have the responsibility to examine what we think we know\,\nWe will not be perfect.\nThis space will not be perfect.|\nIt will not always be what we wish it to be\nBut\nIt will be our brave space together\,\nand\nWe will work in it side by side….

SUMMARY:Community Yoga Class FREE
DESCRIPTION:YOGA COMMUNITY CLASS with Dr. Jen Kurz \nThis is a free offering but donations to Common Street are welcome. \nPlease register by email to doctorjenkurz@gmail.com \nYOGA: (yoga citta vrtti nirodah): Translates\, from Sanskrit\, as “the cessation of the fluctuations of mind.” Patanjali\, a great yogi sage\, defines it in his “Yoga Sutras” as the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction\, without distractions. \nFor many westerners and Americans\, yoga practice involves particular asanas\, or mat exercises and stretches\, which build strength\, flexibility\, and balance. It may also be a way to find stillness in the mind in the effort to reach a state of focused attention and self-awareness — through guided sound\, breath\, and posture. This class will be geared towards those who are looking for a moderate to fast paced flow\, as well as a deeper understanding of the mind body connection. \nDr. Jen Kurz is a pain management physiatrist (www.doctorkurz.com for further information). \nDr. Kurz witnesses the limits of conventional care in the treatment of conditions as complex and difficult as chronic pain\, addiction\, and related mood disorders. If we lose our ability to move due to chronic pain\, we know the central and peripheral nervous systems are involved. Neurons that fire together\, wire together. Can we redirect our minds and rewire neurons towards health and wellbeing? \nYoga is a powerful healing and preventative practice for chronic\, painful physical conditions – including chronic spine and joint pain\, muscle pain\, weakness\, tightness\, and postural imbalances. Yoga may enable you to awaken to root mental causes\, conditions\, and obstacles that may be overcome with practice. Previous experience with yoga is recommended for this class.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles
DESCRIPTION: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.” \nHas 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?\n\nWhether 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.\n\nhttps://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/91709436048?pwd=eXpvM2dpYlhPNE1aNGE5cEFtOER4Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 917 0943 6048\nPasscode: 695321\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,91709436048#\,\,\,\,*695321# US (Washington DC)\n+13126266799\,\,91709436048#\,\,\,\,*695321# US (Chicago)
