SUMMARY:Ecstatic Flow and Soundbath: exploring the rhythm of life
DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to announce the next Ecstatic Flow: exploring the rhythm of life on May 21st from 6:30-8pm at the Common Street Spiritual Center (13 Common St\, Natick).\n\nThis authentic movement exploration will take place in the sanctuary. The high ceilings\, stained glass\, woods floors and gorgeous sound will give us the foundation to move freely and connect into our primal movements.\n\nWe guide you into some yogic movements infused with fluid elements and encourage you to engage with the senses while deeply listening to your body.\n\nOver time the fluidity of movement turns into your own intuitive expression which some might call dance. As you tap into this harmony between your body and mind you become totally absorbed by the moment beyond the point of distraction and free yourself beyond the confines of your mind.The class ends with a blissful sound bath to soften the body\, relax the nervous system and glimpse into the oneness of consciousness.\n\nPlease bring your yoga mat and blankets\, pillows or anything to make yourself comfortable for the ending Soundbath meditation. Sliding scale offered. Investment for the 90 minute class is on a sliding scale of $20-40 (with options for a need based barter).

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)

SUMMARY:Natick Music Makers
DESCRIPTION:What:  Natick Music Makers  \nWhen:  Friday\, May 26\, 2023\, 7-9pm \nWhere:  Common Street Spiritual Center\, Upstairs \nHow much: Cost; 100% of your $10 entry fee goes to the center to support its mission* \nWho:  You & Us!! ? \nHello! We want to play music with YOU! \nIf you have a basic musical ability (play an instrument\, know your chords)\, We welcome you to bring your instrument; guitar\, bass\, drums\, keyboard\, ukelele\, voice\, and more – for a night of playing songs together. We’ll finish out the night with a jam. \nPoint of the event is to have fun and make music together. There is little expectation beyond that. \nFormat of the event:  we’ll play relatively easy songs which are 3-5 chords. We’ll have a list to choose from for this event\, and we’ll cast them on a screen / or have on poster-boards\, so everyone can see the chords and lyrics. We’ll draw numbers from a hat @ 7pm and that will be the order of those wanting to lead a song. If you just want to play\, then just play! \nGenres include but not limited to Rock\, Pop\, Folk\, Blues. Typically\, we’ll be mostly in 4/4 time to keep things simple. I’ll start off the 1st song to get us warmed up\, then we’ll take turns leading a song (optional if you desire to). \nNote: we’ll play mostly “clean” in terms of sound\, but some basic pedals / effects are permitted such as Wah\, Compressor\, Reverb\, Delay\, etc. Ear plugs will be available. \nAlso Note:  respectfulness of everyone’s ability level is expected\, kindness is appreciated. This is for fun\, and there is no expectation that the songs will sound like the original nor do we really desire for it to. \nKeep your alcohol and drugs and pets at home. \nWe’ll take a break about halfway through to socialize and munch on snacks. \nIf you have any questions\, you can reach me by email: MrDaveStewart@gmail.com \nHope to see you there! \n\nNatick Music Makers \n\n  \n*Free if you’re a member of Common St. Spiritual Center.  See this link if interested: https://commonstreet.org/membership/

SUMMARY:Alex Cook Art Opening
DESCRIPTION:Alex Cook is a public artist who had created over 220 murals in 20 states around the US and 4 countries. (www.stonebalancer.com) As creator of the YOU ARE LOVED Mural Project he works with organizations of all types including schools\, prisons\, shelters\, and government organizations. These collaborations create love-focused murals (like the one downstairs at Common Street Spiritual Center!) that bring together the power of art and community to support a warmer\, more loving society. (www.youarelovedmurals.com) \nAlex will speak about his nation-wide work with the YOU ARE LOVED Project as well as show pictures of the process. Beyond the paintng process Alex will share how bringing this message of love to all kinds of locations has created conversations and even saved lives. On exhibit in the sanctuary are 10 of Alex’s newest works. He will discuss how creating YOU ARE LOVED murals opened the door to creating new work\, revolutionizing his creative process. \nARTIST STATEMENT: \nFor most of my 30 years of art making my inclination has been to make representational art – pictures of things to tell a story or express a feeling.\nThe 10 works currently on display in the sanctuary represent a departure from that style. Having spent the last several years working on YOU ARE\nLOVED murals whose content is only the lines\, colors\, and contrasts of words and letters\, I have found myself much more interested in how to make\nsoulful\, heartfelt work that uses only formal elements – line\, color\, and contrast – to create beauty. \nThe earliest of these works (on the right wall) were created improvisationally. I created patterns of color on the individual papers and\nthen arranged them to create the larger final piece. Later I realized I could arrange the papers first and then\, still using the geometric patterns on each\npaper\, make a single image that would unify the piece. I began simply with the green and red rings and quickly moved to more complex images like the Floating Man. \nIn these 10 works you can see the development of my thinking from the earlier purely geometrical pieces on the right to the pieces on the left which\neach contain an image created by or event through the geometrical patterns.\nEnjoy!\nAlex Cook\, May 2023 \nAlex Cook is a public artist who had created over 220 murals in 20 statesaround the US and 4 countries.

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:Men's Wisdom Council
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a “Man”? \nMost 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. \nCouncils 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. \nOur 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.\nPlease contact Michael Corthell (michaelacorthell@gmail.com) for any questions that you may have. \nMeets upstairs in meditation room. Enter through school street door.
