A Course in Miracles
2024-03-27 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.

Awakening - Exploring The Dance Of Light & Dark
2024-03-28 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Dear friends,
You are invited to join us for a unique and enriching spiritual experience at our gathering called Awakening.
This is definitely not a traditional church service. Awakening offers a space where individuals can come together to explore and deepen their spiritual journey in a supportive community setting.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT AWAKENING:
Brief Music/Meditation: Take a moment to settle in. Experience the power of mindfulness and connect with Spirit.
Interactive Exploration and Discussion: Explore both the light and dark aspects of life (and of yourself) with nuance and compassion instead of rules and judgment.
Engage in meaningful reflection, open dialogue, and explore innovative perspectives. Do you disagree with commonly held ideas about our Divine nature?
BRING IT!
This is a place where you have permission to share and explore your truth with other intelligent beings who have similar questions.
Stories From The Other Side: Hear stories from people who have had direct experiences with the other side.
Coffee / Chai Hour: After our gathering, join us for a relaxed coffee hour where you can connect with fellow attendees, discuss ideas, and deepen your sense of community.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
At Awakening, there are no experts or authorities dictating how you should think or live. Instead, we embrace curiosity and inquiry, encouraging questions that expand our possibilities and foster personal growth.
Come be a part of this experiment with us. Let’s create something beautiful together. All that’s required is an open mind and a willingness to explore.
Please RSVP to this event by grabbing your free ticket on Eventbrite. Your RSVP helps us ensure a meaningful experience for everyone.
We look forward to seeing you at Awakening.
Jason and Amanda
