And over time, the goal is to free ourselves from our unconscious programming we have built over our lifetimes and deepen our connection with Spirit.

The event is free and open to the community. Donations are welcome but not required and can be sent via Venmo to @Emmanuel-Weinman or by cash.

A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
2026-03-25 19:00 - 20:30, 2026-04-01 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.

Modern/Jazz Dance Class
2026-03-26 09:30 - 11:00

Buddhist Meditation Group (Tibetan Vajrayana)
2026-03-26 18:00 - 19:00 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Buddhist practice is not about retreating from our lives or rejecting the things that bring us meaning and joy. Rather, it is about cultivating our natural capacity for unconditional well-being; a well-being that is not dependent on external circumstances.
This unconditional well-being is not withdrawn, neutral, or indifferent. It is brimming with warmth and care for all beings. It is the source of universal love and compassion, what Buddhists call bodhicitta. It is not something we attain or manufacture; it is what we fundamentally are. The practices of this tradition help us identify and remove our internal impediments so that our innate enlightened nature can begin to outshine our habitual ways of thinking and relating to ourselves and others.
These weekly gatherings include meditation practice and discussion grounded in the teachings of contemporary meditation masters within the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition. Our emphasis is on integrating meditation into daily life and embodying loving-kindness and compassion in action. Each session includes guided and silent meditation, along with time for reflection and conversation.
Facilitated by Ben Draper, a longtime dharma practitioner and student of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche.
Open to both beginners and experienced practitioners.

SpiritDrum
2026-03-28 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.

Authentic Relating Games: Dreams and Desires
2026-03-29 16:30 - 18:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Dreams and desires often visit us quietly — sometimes when we’re asleep, sometimes as a subtle pull in the heart. They can feel powerful, exciting, and sometimes even impossible. Like something just out of reach… almost like forbidden fruit.
And yet, those dreams keep nudging us forward. They spark curiosity. They motivate us. They invite us to imagine something bigger for ourselves.

But what happens when we become truly honest about what we want?
What happens when we speak our dreams out loud?
When we let other people see our desires?
Do we fear we might not get the thing we long for?
Do we worry that chasing it could change the comfortable lives we’ve built?

Whatever lives underneath those questions, tonight we’re creating space to explore it together.
Through simple Authentic Relating games, we’ll gently bring our dreams and desires into the room — connecting more deeply with ourselves and each other. A space where what’s behind the surface can be seen, where curiosity is welcome, and where we’re invited to dream a little bigger.

Who knows what becomes possible when we share what our hearts are truly calling for.

Core Practices of Authentic Relating:
1) Welcome Everything
2) Honor Self and Other
3) Own Your Experience
4) Commitment to Connection
