The Echoes of "I": Self as a Fractal Experience
2025-06-07 13:30 - 14:30 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
“Echoes of “”I”” is a 60–75 minute eye-gazing and somatic regulation experience designed to dissolve the illusion of separation. Through individual and optionally paired partner work, participants engage in deep, conscious breathwork and sustained eye contact, allowing themselves to regulate their nervous systems while gently softening the mental constructs that create distance between “self” and “other.”
This journey invites you to use the gaze as a periscope—seeing not just the other, but the common Self contained between. Participants are guided to recognize how their perceptions of the other are shaped by projected thoughts and internal narratives. As the container deepens, a sense of inner spaciousness emerges, making room for the profound truth: that what we see in another is, ultimately, a mirror of what we allow ourselves to feel, believe, and become.”
Drew Grossmann is a clairsentient channel, channeling on topics such as consciousness, alignment, and intuition. A clairsentient since childhood, he has a lifelong dedication to the exploration of the fractal nature of Self, Spirit, and Source. Drew creates experiential spaces that reconnect attendees to themselves—and each other—through presence, perception, and poetic disruption.
Drew has written extensively on the nature of reality, bridging of the gap between the spiritual and physical for both the experienced and newly-curious spiritual explorers. His newest title, The Universe Doesn’t Speak English, explores the link between the Mind-Body-Soul channel in relation to manifestation and digital manipulation of the external world.

The Faces of Change: The Creator, The Sustainer, & The Destroyer
2025-06-07 10:00 - 11:00 | Moon Room @ Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, 01760, United States
Creation. Sustenance. Destruction. These aren’t just events—they’re archetypal forces, always at play in the cycles of your life. In this immersive workshop, we’ll explore the triad of The Creator, The Sustainer, and The Destroyer as essential patterns that shape how things begin, how they endure, and how they end. Through guided meditation, gentle movement, and intimate conversation, you’ll begin to recognize these forces not as external events, but as living energies within you. Which one is active in your story right now? Which one are you resisting? And what might happen if you embraced all three? Come with your questions, your weariness, your sparks—and leave with a deeper sense of your own unfolding. This workshop is a doorway into Unwritten: An Archetype Quest, a larger journey into the mythic patterns that shape our lives. Come discover your story.
BIO:

Tim Lewandowski has been many things—professor, musician, software engineer, dancer—but it was a month alone in the New Mexico desert that truly changed his life. There, he began seeing his experiences through the lens of archetypes, discovering not just clarity, but wonder—and now he helps others do the same, transforming fear into curiosity through the power of their own unfolding story.

A Course in Miracles
2025-06-04 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.

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.
