SUMMARY:Buddhist Meditation Group (Tibetan Vajrayana)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis unconditional well-being is not withdrawn\, neutral\, or indifferent.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. \nThese 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. \nFacilitated by Ben Draper\, a longtime dharma practitioner and student of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. \nOpen to both beginners and experienced practitioners.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nEach 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.” \nHas 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? \nWhether 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. \nWe meet by ZOOM\, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \nZOOM LINK: https://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/96121486527?pwd=yGb8KTplkphzCL5uuOh85wkEMuZERj.1

SUMMARY:Open Circle and Community Brunch
DESCRIPTION:On the first Sundays of the month\, we combine our Open Circle Gathering with a community potluck brunch.\n\nWe gather and connect in a more relaxed\, less structured way\, yet with threads of meaning and spirituality tying it all together.\n\n\nYou’re welcome\, if it would bring you joy\, to contribute a food or drink item to share as part of the community brunch. Another option is to bring non-perishable food or toiletry items for our free mini-pantry.\n\nOur 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.\n\nWe welcome folks of all beliefs and backgrounds to build community with us as we align around a hopeful sense of common purpose.

SUMMARY:SpiritDrum
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSpiritDrum 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. \nDave 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. \n4th Saturday monthly\, 7pm to 9pm (setup starts at 6pm)\n$10 per person (cash/check/venmo/paypal) \nWebsite:  www.DrumsForOneAndAll.com\nEmail:  Drumhead@DrumsForOneAndAll.com\nFacebook:  www.facebook.com/groups/DrumsForOneAndAll

SUMMARY:Buddhist Meditation Group (Tibetan Vajrayana)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nThese 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. \nFacilitated by Ben Draper\, a longtime dharma practitioner and student of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. \nOpen to both beginners and experienced practitioners.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION: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. \nEach 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.” \nHas 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? \nWhether 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. \nWe meet by ZOOM\, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \nZOOM LINK: https://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/96121486527?pwd=yGb8KTplkphzCL5uuOh85wkEMuZERj.1
