SpiritDrum
2026-01-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
A spiritual circle that is open to the public and is geared for adult participation (younger attendees must be able to maintain focus for the full 2 hours). SpiritDrum blends together meditative drumming, sacred chant and life-affirming ritual to create an experience that can bring inner peace and a sense of liberation. The primary instruments are frame drums played with beaters, as well as shakers and rattles. Bring your own if you can, or borrow from the extras on hand (please leave full-size djembe drums at home). People are asked to arrive before 7pm to settle in before the opening ceremony.
SpiritDrum is a unique gathering that combines life-affirming ritual with meditative drumming, sacred chanting and sound exploration for an overall intention of deepening connection between the Earth-mother and our inner selves. Partly facilitated, partly free-form, SpiritDrum creates an intimate space which allows us to express our spiritual aspirations through the vibrations of our drums and voices. SpiritDrum is unlike a typical drum circle — it is quieter, more contemplative and focused on healing through the medium of sound. For that reason, we ask two things: please leave large drums (such as djembes) at home, and please arrive before 7pm to minimize disruptions once the evening’s energy begins to flow. Extra drums will be provided for sharing, but you are encouraged to bring smaller drums such as frame drums, doumbeks, bongos and other instruments like rattles, singing bowls, chimes, didgeridoos and flutes. No prior experience is necessary. Young people must be able to maintain focus for the full two hours. Located on the 3rd level in the choir room. Come in through the School Street entrance.
Dave Curry is the creator of Drums For One & All, which includes facilitating public events, giving workshops, teaching private lessons, giving live performances, and doing drum repairs.

A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
2026-01-28 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
A Course in Miracles was channeled by Jesus in the 60’s to a Columbia University medical school faculty member, perhaps to help us remember the message he came to teach when he walked on this earth.
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.
We meet by ZOOM, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

JourneyDance™: The Dance of Connection
2026-01-30 19:00 - 21:30 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Join us for a movement exploration of how we relate: to ourselves, to one another, to the earth beneath our feet, and to the larger field of Life moving through us all.
Through music, movement, and gentle guidance, we’ll explore connection as a felt experience rather than a concept. Not something to perform or perfect, but something to sense, practice, and play with moment by moment.
As with all JourneyDance experiences, this evening weaves together solo exploration and consent-based connection, offering multiple pathways to engage. You are always in choice about how, when, and with whom you connect.
This is a grounded, spacious container where awareness leads, the body speaks, and relationship becomes a living dance.
All bodies celebrated here.
This is a substance-free, fragrance-free, barefoot-friendly space.
