SUMMARY:Dub Yoga
DESCRIPTION:? UNIQUE EVENT ? Strictly Yard Ent. presents DUB YOGA Thursday\, July 18th I August15th I Sep 19th from 7-8 pm at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick\, MA. \n? This will be a special evening of Yoga\, Dub & Reggae\, and community featuring Yoga from Dr. Jen Kurz in tandem with live DJing from Selector Jah Rich! \n❤️ All levels of Yoga are welcome to this vinyasa flow\, there is plenty of parking\, and the cost is $10 or food pantry donations. All are welcome! \n?️ The beautiful Common Street Spiritual Center is the place to be\, and this venue continues to host and promote top tier spiritual entrepreneurship and community events in the MetroWest. \n? This is the second summer of DUB YOGA and last year’s sessions were well attended and received! \n? WHAT IS DUB\, might you ask?\nDub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae music. Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snipits of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful\, stripped down drum and bass. Dub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the musician as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument. An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus! Jamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is credited as the inventor of Dub\, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s. Today\, his innovation and influence is widely heard in genres like techno\, drum and bass\, and dubstep. Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music. Jah Rich 7/19/23 \nSuggested donation $10 or food pantry donations of non-perishable items. \nAll welcome!

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:Awakening - Exploring The Dance Of Light & Dark
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends\, \nYou are invited to join us for a unique and enriching spiritual experience at our gathering called Awakening. \nThis 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. \nWHAT TO EXPECT AT AWAKENING: \n– Brief Music/Meditation: Take a moment to settle in. Experience the power of mindfulness and connect with Spirit. \n– 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. \n– 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. \n– Stories From The Other Side: Hear stories from people who have had direct experiences with the other side. \n– 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. \nIS THIS FOR YOU? \nAt 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. \nCome 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. \nPlease RSVP to this event by grabbing your free ticket on Eventbrite. Your RSVP helps us ensure a meaningful experience for everyone. \nWe look forward to seeing you at Awakening. \nJason and Amanda
