SUMMARY:Yoga in the Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Yoga is a practice that unites 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!  From numerous forms of trauma\, anxiety\, and physical stiffness\, yoga provides relief and builds a strong physical and spiritual core. \nJoin 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).  Venmo: Jennifer-Kurz-2.

SUMMARY:Heart Mandala on Gaza
DESCRIPTION:When twelve hundred Israelis have been killed by Hamas\, over eight thousand injured\, and over two-hundred taken hostage; when over forty-two thousand Palestinians in Gaza have been killed\, and over ninety-eight thousand injured; when hundreds of thousands of Gazans are starving and living amidst rubble\, in tent cities without sanitation\, in terror\, despair and hopelessness; when Israelis are also living in constant fear of attack; when over sixteen thousand Gazan children have been killed; when many credible experts and humanitarians believe that the threshold of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has been met*: there are no sides.\n\nOur community members do not all agree about whether the Israeli government’s military campaign against Gaza constitutes a genocide\, but we are all horrified by the suffering of the Palestinian people. We have also been mourning the victims of the heinous October 7th attack and are concerned about the safety and well-being of Israeli citizens who are caught in the crossfire of this conflict.\n\nThere are no sides in a crisis like this. This gathering is not about who is to blame\, or which side is better or worse\, it is about paying attention to the suffering that is taking place\, truly feeling the horror of it. This spiritual practice is about finding our sense of purpose and agency to stop this downward spiral of hatred and violence and to move instead towards a loving\, just\, and peaceful solution\, one that allows both Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace and safety\, with equality and justice.\n\nWhy would we at the Spiritual Center community be concerned about events happening seemingly so far away from us? Because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Because our own government\, the United States\, is the primary funder and supplier of the weapons being used to kill Gazans. The U.S. military-industrial complex is profiting immensely off of this war and others. U.S. militarism in general is a highly relevant moral problem in our national politics: we have a right and duty to raise our voices in protest when the precious resources that our nation gathers via taxation are being spent primarily on wars that destroy life rather than on programs like education and healthcare that uplift and support human flourishing.\n\nAs an essential part of the civil discourse and moral evolution of this nation\, religious and spiritual communities have always risen up to call for justice in the face of injustice\, to call for peace in the face of war\, to call for equality in the face of racism\, sexism\, and poverty\, and in general to call for humanization in the face of dehumanization.\n\n*****\n\nOn Oct 21st\, we will gather as one human family\, as equals\, without distinctions\, to experience and hold our truths together. We welcome all perspectives\, all expressions\, all the love and truth and feeling we can muster to meet this moment together in unity and integrity.\n\nFollowing the spiral process of the Work That Reconnects\, we will ground in gratitude\, honor our pain for the world\, see with fresh eyes\, and go forth with purpose.\nIn the Heart Mandala\, the central ritual of the evening\, all are welcome to share their fear\, their anger\, their sadness\, their emptiness\, and whatever other feelings want to be expressed. Without cross talk or criticism\, we will witness each other in a sacred circle of trust\, confidentiality\, and love.\n\nThe process will be facilitated by Rev. Dr. Ian Mevorach\, director of Common Street Spiritual Center.\n\nThis sacred gathering is offered free and is open to the public. All are welcome\, without distinction.\n\nYou are welcome to bring candles\, flowers\, incense or other sacred objects to place on the altar table at the beginning of the process.\n\n*****\n\n*According to the March 2024 report of Francesca Albanese\, the United Nation’s Special Rapporteur for human rights in the Palestinian territories\, “[T]here are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating Israel’s commission of genocide is met.”\n\nIn specific\, the Special Rapporteur identifies three genocidal crimes against Palestinians\, which together meet the threshold of genocide: (A) “Killing members of the group\,” (B) “Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group\,” and (C) “Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”\n\nTo read the full report\, please use this link: https://commonstreet.org/…/2024/10/a-hrc-55-73-auv.pdf\n\n**The University Network for Human Rights has also determined that a genocide is taking place in Gaza and published a report to this effect on May 15\, 2024: “In partnership with students and experts at Boston University\, Cornell\, University of Pretoria\, and Yale\, the University Network published Genocide in Gaza: Analysis of International Law and its Application to Israel’s Military Actions since October 7\, 2023. The report is the most thorough legal analysis to date of the “crime of crimes” expressed in the 1948 Genocide Convention and the related international jurisprudence\, as applied to the facts on the ground in Gaza since October 7. It concludes that Israel’s actions meet the legal threshold of genocide\, producing legal obligations for Israel and the international community to end the slaughter.”\n\n***There are many within the Common Street Spiritual Center (CSSC) community and the wider Natick-Metrowest community who do not agree that genocidal acts are taking place in Gaza\, or who believe that the language of “genocide” in the context of this political discourse is at least at times being used in antisemitic ways. We are aware that there has been discomfort about this event in particular\, and its framing in the original event description; we have received and reviewed considerable feedback from our neighbors about this\, and so we have amended the description to be more inclusive and sensitive to their concerns. Our community stands against antisemitism\, Islamophobia\, and racism of any kind. Also\, we love\, respect\, and accept people of various views and warmly welcome people of all perspectives\, including various political orientations and religious backgrounds\, to participate in this particular event and in general to be a part of the life of our community. CSSC is an inclusive\, love-centered community.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles
DESCRIPTION: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. \nEach 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? \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. \nWe meet by ZOOM\, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \nZOOM LINK: https://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/92894618915?pwd=brWWjSasbqK5tCarEqlP4NUnpA5F3T.1

SUMMARY:Bwiti Fire Talk: An Introduction to African Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:The Bwiti tradition is a spiritual practice that originated in southern Gabon but has now spread in different branches throughout Gabon\, Cameroon\, Congo\, and beyond. Bwiti is not a religion\, but a traditional spiritual path known to initiates as the “art of knowing” and the “study of life itself.” \nThe fire talk is an essential element of Bwiti healing practices. Every ceremony begins with a fire talk where Bwiti teachings are shared. In order to promote wisdom and groundedness in the village\, elders and medicine carriers (Ngangas and Maboundis) provide counseling rooted in the Bwiti teachings before the community partakes in ingesting medicine. \nThis fire talk session will be co-facilitated by Pamela “Ngondet Na Di Puma” Rosario Pérez and\nWill “Etsika Mbudi” Dickerson II. Ngondet and Etsika are traditional medicine and culture carriers of the Missoko Bwiti lineage\, initiated by the 10th-generation nima Papa Moughenda Mikala.

Maybe\, just maybe\, you will feel this all land in your body like a nourishment. \nOnly together can we create the kind of gatherings that bring strength\, healing and connection to our communities. Let’s do this! \nRegister through Maggie at learn2relax@yahoo.com or Kat at kathleensuwalski@gmail.com so that we know you are attending and know how many people to expect (or so that we can let you know if anything changes).\nInvestment: $25 if pre-registered and $35 at the door.
