SUMMARY:Rite of the Womb
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Rite of the Womb\, a monthly women’s circle\, typically held every third Saturday at Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick. \n\nThis sacred gathering offers a space to connect\, heal\, and celebrate your feminine essence through empowering workshops and sacred sisterhood. The evening culminates in the Rite of the Womb\, a shamanic ceremony for releasing fear and ancestral pain to reclaim your inner power. Throughout the evening\, you’ll be embraced by a supportive women’s community\, fostering connections that uplift and inspire.  \nThis month our women’s circle falls during the Spring Equinox\, the sacred turning point when day and night come into balance—and when the goddess Persephone returns to earth after her six-month reign as Queen of the Underworld\, bringing with her the energies of renewal\, fertility\, abundance\, and the awakening of spring. It feels deeply fitting to honor and embody the archetype of Persephone: the initiate who descends into darkness and returns transformed. Together we will honor the painful experiences that have carried us through our own underworlds\, recognizing that certain thresholds in life change us forever\, yet do not erase who we are. Like Persephone\, we learn to live between worlds- light and shadow\, maiden and queen\, loss and renewal- awakening the goddess energy within us that holds both tenderness and power. Through reflection\, ritual\, and shared sisterhood\, we reclaim the wisdom born from hardship and transform it into personal sovereignty. And as the Spring Equinox marks Persephone’s radiant return to the living world\, we will celebrate with lightness\, dance\, laughter\, flowers\, and abundance—joyfully welcoming the season of growth\, blooming life\, and new possibilities. Together we honor that we\, too\, have emerged from the underworld carrying both our depth and our radiance. \nIf you feel called\, a few items you may want to bring: \n\nA snack to share with the group\nA personal water bottle\nAny items you would like honored on the collective altar\nDivination tools you work with (examples: crystals\, cards\, smokes\, etc)\nMusical instruments such as drums or rattles\nAnything else that you feel will support the space!\n\nContact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or via text or WhatsApp at 617-980-6022 with any questions or concerns. \nAlthough preregistration is not required\, it is helpful for event preparations. Suggested donation to support the center\, workshop supplies and the group is $22 to $44\, although no one will be turned away for financial hardship.   \nPreregister using the following form link: https://forms.gle/SiZUYrMemju433yK8

SUMMARY:Rite of the Womb
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Rite of the Womb\, a monthly women’s circle\, typically held every third Saturday at Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick. \nThis sacred gathering offers a welcoming space to connect\, heal\, and honor the feminine through shared practice\, reflection\, and sacred sisterhood. \nIn February\, the gathering will be guided by Pooja Mahtani\, founder of Akasha Codes\, who holds grounded\, compassionate healing spaces rooted in presence\, energetic awareness\, and deep listening. Through gentle guidance\, intentional space-holding\, and womb-focused energetic work\, participants will be invited to soften the nervous system\, reconnect with the womb as a center of memory and creation\, and tend to layers of identity shaped by lineage\, experience\, and lived history. \nThis work supports the remembrance of the womb not only as a physical space\, but as an energetic center of intuition\, creativity\, belonging\, and self-trust. The healing invites the release of inherited patterns\, emotional imprints\, and internalized narratives that may no longer serve—making space for clarity\, sovereignty\, and embodied presence. \nThe evening culminates in The Rite of the Womb\, a shamanic ceremony focused on releasing fear and ancestral pain\, allowing participants to reclaim inner power and wholeness. Throughout the evening\, you’ll be held within a supportive women’s community that fosters connection\, safety\, and inspiration. \nIf you feel called\, a few items you may want to bring: \n\nA snack to share with the group\nA personal water bottle\nAny items you would like honored on the collective altar\nDivination tools you work with (examples: crystals\, cards\, smokes\, etc)\nMusical instruments such as drums or rattles\nAnything else that you feel will support the space!\n\nQuestions or concerns:Please contact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or via text or WhatsApp at 617-980-6022. \nEnergy Exchange:Although preregistration is not required\, it is helpful for event preparations. A suggested donation of $22–$44 supports the center\, workshop supplies\, and the group. No one will be turned away due to financial hardship. \nPreregistration:https://forms.gle/SiZUYrMemju433yK8

Throughout the evening\, you’ll be embraced by a supportive women’s community\, fostering connections that uplift and inspire. \nAs the year winds down and the emotions stirred by holiday gatherings rise to the surface\, we’re offered a powerful moment to pause\, reflect\, and reset. This threshold between one year ending and a new one beginning is an ideal time to release what no longer serves and consciously invite in what you wish to cultivate. For this month’s Rite of the Womb\, we will be working with the elements through powerful water and fire ceremonies for cleansing and transformation. Through the soothing\, nourishing flow of water and the igniting\, transmutative energy of fire\, you’ll be guided to let go of the old while awakening clarity and intention for the year ahead. Honoring the complementary forces of the elements\, we create a sacred ceremonial space with ritual practices to dissolve the past\, open the heart\, and manifest new possibilities with purpose and renewal. \nSuggested items to bring if you feel called: \n\na waterbottle or personal beverage\na snack to share with the group\njournal and/or writing utensil\ndivination tools you work with\nList of what you would like to release and/or what you would like to manifest\nOfferings for the fire and water\nitems to be honored on the communal altar\ninstruments\, rattles or drums\nanything else that you feel can support you or the space\n\nContact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or via text or WhatsApp at 617-980-6022 with any questions or concerns. \nAlthough preregistration is not required\, it is helpful for event preparations.

SUMMARY:Rite of the Womb: Mother's Blessing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Rite of the Womb\, a monthly women’s circle held every third Saturday at Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick. \nThis sacred gathering offers a space to connect\, heal\, and celebrate your feminine essence through empowering workshops and community. The evening culminates in the Rite of the Womb\, a shamanic initiation for releasing fear and ancestral pain\, and reclaiming your inner power. Throughout the evening\, you’ll be embraced by a supportive women’s community and sisterhood\, fostering connections that uplift and inspire. \nThis month’s workshop explores how the feminine path to spirituality is rooted in the body\, offering daily invitations to surrender\, trust\, and deepen our intuition. When we think of spiritual practice\, we often picture structured rituals like meditation or retreats. But for women\, spiritual growth is also built into our biology—through menstrual cycles\, pregnancy\, birth\, motherhood\, and menopause. Instead of forcing ourselves into linear routines\, we’ll reclaim the wisdom of our natural rhythms and reconnect with the power already within us. \nA unique and exciting celebration that will be taking place this month will be a Mother’s Blessing Ceremony for a sister in our community. A Mother’s Blessing is a sacred rite of passage that honors the emotional\, spiritual\, and physical journey into motherhood. Rooted in ancient feminine traditions\, it shifts the focus from baby to mother—celebrating her body\, intuition\, and inner strength. Surrounded by a circle of women\, she is supported through ritual\, storytelling\, and shared wisdom\, inviting deep surrender and connection to the cyclical power of creation. This ceremony is a return to embodied spirituality\, where motherhood is honored as a sacred threshold. \nWhat to bring to the Mother’s Blessing: \n\n\nAn offering for the mother to be can be energetic or material\, some examples: \n\n\nFlowers \n\n\nPersonal elements like a song\, prayer or scripture \n\n\nMeaningful keepsakes for her to put on her altar in her birthing space \n\n\nJewelry/crystals \n\n\nMassage/foot soak \n\n\nSimply yourself \n\n\n\n\nA snack to share with the group \n\n\nA personal water bottle \n\n\nAny items you would like honored on the collective altar \n\n\nDivination tools you work with \n\n\nContact Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com or 617-980-6022 with any questions or concerns. \nSuggested donation to support the space and group is $33\, although no one will be turned away for financial hardship \nPreregistration highly recommended: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mothers-blessing-ceremony-at-rite-of-the-womb-tickets-1763473519769?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl

SUMMARY:Kundalini: Tradition\, Myth\, and Personal Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Join Monty for a grounded yet illuminating exploration of Kundalini—its roots in ancient tradition\, its evolving role in modern spirituality\, and how it can enrich your personal journey of healing\, growth\, and transformation. \nYou’ve likely heard terms like “Kundalini energy\,” “Kundalini awakening\,” or “Kundalini yoga” in spiritual communities and online spaces. Yet despite their popularity\, these concepts are often misunderstood—or presented in ways that feel vague or even contradictory. If you’ve ever felt confused or curious\, you’re not alone. \nSo what is Kundalini\, really? Why does it matter—if at all—on your path? And how might a deeper understanding of this energy support your everyday life? \nThis class is designed for anyone seeking a clearer\, more holistic understanding of Kundalini from both a philosophical and personal perspective. Whether you’re completely new to the concept or looking to deepen your knowledge\, you’re welcome here. \n— \nWhat to bring:\n– Comfortable clothing\n– A pen and notebook (if you’re the note-taking type)\n– Optional: Your favorite snacks (some will be provided)\n– Water (we’ll have extra too!) \n— \nAbout the Teacher \nMonty is a certified Kundalini yoga instructor currently living in a remote village in Thailand. She received her training in the Himalayan tradition while residing at an Ashram along the Ganges River in India. Drawing from personal experience\, traditional philosophy\, and years of practice\, Monty brings a grounded\, heart-centered approach to her teaching—making deep spiritual wisdom feel accessible\, relevant\, and real. \n___ \nJune 28\, 2025\nArrival time: 2:45\nPromptly begins at 3:00\nIn the Moon room

SUMMARY:Introduction to Shamanic Journeying
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Shamanic Journeying  \n“Shamanic journeying is the inner art of traveling to the invisible worlds beyond ordinary reality in order to retrieve information for change in any area of our lives\, from spirituality and health to work and relationships” (Sandra Ingerman\, 2007). \nSpirit allies and power animals are an elemental component of shamanism and all shamans work with these helping spirits to help bring about spiritual\, physical and emotional healing at the soul or spirit level. All of us have access to these spirits and they want to work with us!   \nIn this workshop\, we will review energetic cleansing\, setting sacred space and spiritual protection for shamanic practice. You will practice using your intuitive senses to understand how to communicate and receive information from the spirit realms. You will then be guided to independently travel to the shamanic lower world through a meditative journeying state and meet a spirit ally or power animal. In this space you will discover the various ways to work with spirit allies in daily life and to assist in understanding specific intentions or gifts they have to offer.  \nIt is recommended you bring any items that will help you descend into this state of consciousness. Such materials can include an eye covering\, pillow\, blanket\, mat\, and wearing comfortable clothing.\nA limited amount of cushions\, yoga mats\, and blankets will be available for use.  \nIn your shamanic journey space\, you may gain information from the lower world spirits or power animals. Bringing a journal can be valuable to record the messages received for further integration and referencing.  \nNo prior shamanic or journeying experience necessary. All levels of shamanic practice are welcome! \nPlan to arrive upstairs in the Studio approximately 15 minutes early (6:15pm) for check in and set up. \nEmail Sherry at owls.rising@gmail.com with questions. \n**Space limited to 12 participants\, preregistration required by following this link: \nhttps://forms.gle/o6D4Ux33nqLLpnEbA \nRecommended donation $22-$44 \n*Of note- this workshop will be a recommended prerequisite to a future monthly shamanic journeying group

DESCRIPTION:Shamanic Tools Workshop \nSunday\, April 7th 5pm to 9pm- arrive 10 minutes before start time for check in Supplies and space limited- pre registration required (link below) \nEach participant will be receiving a “tool bag” with resource information and supplies used for smudging\, protection and percussion. \nEmbark on a transformative journey within\, accessing your profound inner wisdom for personal guidance and healing. Engage with your innate intuition and embrace the shamanic perspective\, viewing the world through the compassionate lens of the heart and the insightful gaze of the third eye. \nA great deal of information will be covered and practiced in this transformative workshop. These topics will include: \n● Various techniques for energetic cleansing and hygiene (one example is smudging) to clear out energies that are not serving us or our space. We will practice using our intuitive senses with each other and within the space with items provided in the “tool bag” that each participant will be receiving. \n● There is a quality of sacred space necessary for this work when establishing an authentic connection with spirit. We will be teaching the components of sacred space with invocation of the medicine wheel and benevolent helping spirits. A printed reference for setting sacred with the medicine wheel directions\, elements and cyclical information will be provided in the “tool bag” as well. \n● Energetic boundaries and protection are indispensable both in daily life and when working in the spirit realms- we will be reviewing and practicing the application of these protective rituals. \nThe above mentioned practices are necessary before moving into the deeper realms of our consciousness\, where we will be traveling in the second half of the workshop: \n● Our breath is an invaluable tool which we will be using to release old energies and blocks that may be hindering connection with spirit. The breathing exercise is very powerful and individuals often note connecting with the divine during the experience. \n● The shamanic journey is an ancient visionary technique used to enter the invisible realm of spirit for healing and guidance. It is the most direct and practical tool for engaging your own inner knowing. Through your journeys you can explore the hidden universe of spirit in the wise and loving care of your spirit allies. Everyone has spirit allies. They are the power animals and helping spirits in the spirit world who protect and help to awaken your dormant spiritual abilities. We will learn the various ways to enter a trance state to traverse the shamanic worlds and enter into our shamanic journey where we will retrieve our individual spirit ally who wants to work with us on our spiritual process and inner healing. \nIt is recommended you bring any items that will help you descend into this state of consciousness. Such materials can include an eye covering\, pillow\, blanket\, mat\, and wearing comfortable clothing. A limited amount of cushions\, yoga mats\, and blankets may be available for use. \nIn your shamanic journey space\, you may gain information from your spirit allies or power animal. Bringing a journal can be valuable to record the messages received for further integration and referencing. \nNo prior shamanic or journeying experience necessary. All levels of shamanic practice are welcome! \nRegistration Information:\nhttps://forms.gle/7DAUBWp6tjf1Jxdo6 \nRecommended minimum investment: $80 \nScholarships may be available for those who are driven by this work but are facing a financial barrier. Email owls.rising@gmail.com Include in the email how you will be using the tools and experiences gained from this workshop. \nFor those who are able to contribute\, please consider making an additional donation upon checkout to apply toward a scholarship providing access for someone in need. \nContact us at owls.rising@gmail.com for other ways to assist. \nLet’s come together to support each other on our spiritual paths!

SUMMARY:Introduction to Shamanic Journeying: Connect with Your Power Animal
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Shamanic Journeying:\nConnect with Your Power Animal \n“Shamanic journeying is the inner art of traveling to the invisible worlds beyond ordinary reality in order to retrieve information for change in any area of our lives\, from spirituality and health to work and relationships” (Sandra Ingerman\, 2007). \nPower animals are an elemental component of shamanism and all shamans work with power animals to help bring about spiritual\, physical and emotional healing at the soul or spirit level. One or more power animals may help us throughout our lives. All of us have access to our power animals and our power animals want to work with us! \nIn this workshop\, you will be guided to independently travel to the shamanic lower world through a meditative journeying state and meet your power animal. We will also discover the various ways to work with power animals in daily life and to assist in understanding specific intentions or gifts they have to offer. \nIt is recommended you bring any items that will help you descend into this state of consciousness. Such materials can include an eye covering\, pillow\, blanket\, mat\, and wearing comfortable clothing. Cushions\, yoga mats\, and blankets will be available. \nIn your shamanic journey space\, you may gain information from the lower world spirits and your power animal. Bringing a journal can be valuable to record the messages received for further integration and referencing. \nNo prior shamanic or journeying experience necessary. All levels of shamanic practice are welcome! Email Sherry @ sherrysolchnp@gmail.com with questions. \nSpace limited to 12 participants\, preregistration required by following this link: https://forms.gle/bjvX7HqCAhXo2TK38 \nExchange $30
