Book Club: The Power of Now
2025-05-27 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.

Spirit Drum
2025-05-24 19:00 - 21:00 | MA
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.

Mai-Tri Method - Deep Energy Cleansing and Harmonizing
2025-05-24 15:30 - 19:00 | Sanctuary at Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA, 01760, United States
Mohanji Foundation invites you to experience the Mai-Tri Method, a profound method of deep cleansing and harmonizing of body, mind and soul.
Through this method, deep-seated subconscious blockages are removed, even from the subtlest layer of our existence – the causal body – where seeds of karmic impressions are stored.
While the cleansing reaches deep into the energy records, it is important to note that Mai-Tri Method does not interfere with the destiny aspect of karma (as this is what has been chosen at the soul level, be it pleasant or unpleasant to our mind).
The program runs from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM. You may register and select a time slot that suits you. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes.
There is a suggested donation of $30, with 50% going to ACT Foundation USA to help feed the needy.
Register here: https://forms.gle/kcLPxuz3xq7r7NRz5
Specific information about MaiTri Method can be found here :https://mohanji.org/mai-tri-method/

A Course in Miracles
2025-05-21 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.
