Chanting and Meditation Group
2025-09-23 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-09-30 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
This chanting and meditation group is designed to tap into our inner freedom. We will have two 15 minute sessions of chanting and two 30 minute sessions of meditation. Through the actions of chanting and meditation, the aim is to free all the thoughts and emotions stuck within our minds and bodies. 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.

For any questions or comments, please contact Emmanuel Krishna by email: emanwman@gmail.com or phone: 978-578-9707

A Course in Miracles
2025-09-24 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-10-01 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.

Spirit Drum
2025-09-27 19:00 - 21:00
WHAT: Spirit Drum
WHEN: Every 4th Saturday monthly, 7:00pm to 9:00pm
WHERE: Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick MA, 3rd floor
HOW MUCH: $10 per person (cash/check/venmo/paypal)
WHO / WHY: 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.
Dave Curry is the creator of Drums For One & All, which includes facilitating public events, giving workshops, teaching private lessons, giving live performances, and doing drum repairs. Every month, Dave has lead the popular FreeDrum event since 2001, and the SpiritDrum event since 2006. Dave is co-creator and organizer for the Eastern Mass Rhythm Festival, which is entering its 18th season. Dave is the author of two books on hand drumming, and has taught drum classes at the Assabet school since 2009. Dave is the creative director of the Drum Nomads performance ensemble. Over the past 22 years, Dave has lead well over 1000 drumming events at schools, churches, colleges, libraries, retreat centers and other institutions across New England.

Somatic Grief Ritual
2025-09-27 19:30 - 22:30 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Grief can feel isolating and overwhelming, but it is also deeply human—something our bodies are wired to move through together. In a world that has forgotten how to grieve in community, this gathering is a return to ritual, to connection, and to the possibility that grief, while painful, can also be a teacher—tender, transformative, even generative.This ritual is an invitation to experience the power of moving through grief in community. We’ll spend time in stillness and sound, with nature and with each other. There will be gentle invitations for writing, sound & movement, a co-created altar of natural objects, and shared music to hold what words can’t. Personal and collective losses are welcome here.

Cost: $10-$20, no one turned away for lack of funds
Doors open: 7:15pm
Ceremony starts: 7:30pm
We invite you to bring with you photos of loved ones or anything that moves you.

Facilitators: Gabbi Fiedor & Becca Phillips
Sound Bath Artist: Abby Frechette

Our community is finding a creative place in the spiritual world, where new forms of spiritual practice, artistic expression, and self-awareness are emerging to support humanity to meet the challenges of our times. We are finding balance within ourselves, making peace across differences, and stepping up to protect the Earth.

We welcome folks of all beliefs and backgrounds to build community with us as we align around a hopeful sense of common purpose.
