A Course in Miracles
2025-04-23 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-04-30 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.

Cacao and Connection - Warm Cacao Ceremony & Deep Connection Mixer
2025-04-25 18:30 - 21:30 | Fellowship Hall @ Common Street, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Ever find yourself craving more meaningful connection—but not sure where to find it?
That’s exactly why I created this evening.
Most of us go through the week feeling disconnected.
We stay busy. Caught in our heads.
But underneath all of that, your heart is craving something simpler:
Real connection.
Cacao & Connection is a space to slow down, meet new people, and open up in a way that feels natural.
WE BEGIN THE EVENING WITH A WARM CACAO CEREMONY:
My cacao recipe is inspired by my time living in Paris.
The French have the richest, most luxurious hot chocolate in the world, and I’ve brought that same feel to this blend.
It’s ceremonial-grade cacao, blended with creamy almond milk, warming spices, and just the right amount of maple syrup.
It’s very tasty and heart-opening.
Once the cacao settles in, we move into connection games.
WHAT ARE CONNECTION GAMES?
They’re guided activities that make it easy to talk, listen, and actually feel seen.
No small talk. No pressure.
Just real moments with real people.
You’ll probably laugh. You might tear up. And you’ll leave feeling more connected—to yourself and to others.
To close out the night, we’ll share a warm bowl of homemade vegan soup to help ground yourself before heading home.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
– You want to meet people without the usual small talk
– You’ve been craving more depth and heart in your life
– You love cacao or intentional gatherings
– You’re curious about personal growth and real connection

Jason

Yoga in the Sanctuary
2025-04-28 19:00 - 20:00 | 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.

Book Club: The Power of Now
2025-04-29 18:00 - 20:00 | Meeting Room of CSSC
This group would be a good fit for people who follow or are interested in meditation and/or the spiritual teachings of Eckhart Tolle. We will read the book The Power of Now in our own time and come together as a group to share what stood out to us the most and reflect on how what we are learning applies to our own lives. Along with discussion, we will engage in meditation practice and journaling. A copy of The Power of Now would be needed to fully participate, but people are welcome to sit in on the discussion and participate in activities even if they don’t have the book. A journal/sketchbook would also be a supportive tool. We will meet every other week to allow time and space for reading, reflection, and processing on our own between meetings.

Men's Wisdom Council
2025-05-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Meeting Room of CSSC
Men’s Wisdom Council
We gather to explore what it means to be a man in today’s world. Society often hands us roles to play but offers little guidance. And the role models presented to us often fail to speak to our deepest concerns or the callings of our spirit.
For generations, councils have served as a sacred space for men to gather, share wisdom, and listen deeply. The Men’s Wisdom Council continues this tradition—creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can share our stories, voice our challenges, and learn from one another. Together, we explore what it means to move through the stages of life as men with authenticity and purpose.
All men are welcome to join the circle—whether for a single session or as an ongoing journey.
For questions or more information, contact Michael Corthell at michaelacorthell@gmail.com.
