Common Street Spiritual Center

Chanting and Meditation Group
2025-12-09 19:00 - 20:30, 2025-12-02 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

Sound Journey: Healing through Sound, Meditation on a Cellular Level
With Dave Fiuczynski (Professor at Berklee College of Music) & Nissa Diantina-Weiss (Yoga Teacher and functional movement specialist)

Description:
Sound journey is an immersive sound healing event that combines gentle movement, breath, and groundbreaking live music. This offering is ideal for studios and wellness centers seeking to expand their programming with a deeply transformative, one-of-a-kind experience. Bring your own mat and pillow for a comfy experience.

What It Includes:
10-15 minutes of guided breath and gentle stretching led by Nissa Diantina, designed to ground participants and prepare the body to receive sound.
40–45 minutes of live, meditative soundscapes created by Dave Fiuczynski on his custom double-neck guitar, tuned to healing frequencies.
10-15 minutes of closing integration and reflection.
The journey blends subtle movement with powerful sonic vibrations that support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and inner transformation.

Why It’s Unique:
Unlike traditional sound baths using bowls or gongs, this event features a live musical performance by a world-renowned guitarist who weaves frequencies, microtones, and ambient textures in real time. Combined with mindful movement and breathwork, this format invites participants into a multi-sensory, soul-centered journey.

The Art of Receiving© for Women & LGBTQIA+
2025-12-07 14:00 - 16:00 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Many of us know how to give.
But receiving? That’s where it gets tender. Vulnerable.
To receive support. Compliments. Space. Beauty. Love. Care.
To receive without shrinking, apologizing, or giving something back immediately.
Receiving is a practice.
A somatic one.
And it’s sacred.
Welcome to an intimate cozy space to let your truth move through breath, movement, reflection, and expression.
Come as you are: messy, soft, wild, curious
Only 12 spots available for this event.
Tickets will be available at www.ecstaticdancema.com

A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
2025-12-03 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.
