Yoga in the Sanctuary
2025-03-03 19:00 - 20:00, 2025-03-10 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Yoga is a practice that brings together the mind and body. In fact, yoga means “to yoke” or unite. It is an ancient healing practice that is both physical and spiritual, incorporating postures, breath, and meditation. Yoga heals! Yoga provides relief from numerous forms of trauma, anxiety, and physical stiffness. It also builds a strong physical and spiritual core.

Join us every Monday from 7-8 pm for a vinyasa flow that will strengthen and energize as well as promote flexibility and balance. We will also experience inner peace by the closing meditation called Shivasana. Please bring a mat and water bottle, and the class meets in the beautiful sanctuary. There is no registration required, and the cost per class is $10 or a food pantry donation (the pantry is located outside the center). Class will not meet on federal holidays. Venmo: Jennifer-Kurz-2.

A Course in Miracles
2025-03-05 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.

Who all can attend this course?
Almost about anyone! No experience is necessary.
Anyone seeking improved mental health, focus and clarity. This practice makes me feel happier every time I practice it 🙂 I could say, anyone looking for more happiness and joy that is unrelated to external situations and circumstances, but is rather originating from within.
If this is Art of Living Part-1, is there a Part-2 course?
Great question! Yes, the Art of Living curriculum is a two part curriculum. You can do these workshops independently. Having completed part-1 you will be eligible to do a part-2, which is a deep dive.
One of my favorite retreats, part-2 or silence workshop builds on your Part 1 experience with a unique blend of advanced breathwork, guided meditations, daily yoga, and profound insights into the mind. This is all designed to provide an optimal environment to break free from a busy mind, dive deep within, and experience transformative shifts—fresh perspective, deep insights, and clarity. These moments supercharge the rest of your year, making it more vibrant, productive, and full of energy.

Here are the details…
-Doors open at 6:30 for stretching, snacking, and socializing while music in the background sets the mood.-There will be an intention-setting meditation a little after 7:00pm.-We will then transition into dancing to delicious exotic jams, with both DJ set/performance and live (often improv) accompaniment on a variety of instruments. This will be the ecstatic dance portion of the event.-Then, cool down and ground with a soothing sound bath meditation.-Stick around, have snacks, and socialize for a bit after the sound bath if you wish!
There is a suggested donation of $25-35 for this event, but if funds are a barrier to entry for you, don’t let that stop you from enjoying this releasing, healing, and uplifting community event… just donate whatever you can. Every contribution will help us to keep putting on these events, as we would like for this event to keep happening on a regular basis!
To create a conscious container for all the ways folks might wish to explore and experience this event with movement, consent, and inner emotional processing, this is an adults only event. Nothing R rated will occur, just not the right container for kids.
Bring anything you might want… hoops/poi/etc. for flow arts, a yoga mat/blanket/pillow for the sound bath, water for hydration. The center will have some yoga mats, meditation cushions, and blankets available for borrowing as well.
I hope to see you there to jive, shake, wiggle, jump, twirl, and other words that describe movement…
Peace & Respect,Jason A. Karol
