SUMMARY:Embodiment and Movement Day
DESCRIPTION:In America today\, we’re more disconnected and disembodied than ever. We spend our days in front of screens\, rarely moving\, quietly overwhelmed\, and holding onto stress and emotion we don’t always realize we’re carrying. So many of us have grown to fear physical connection\, a fundamental human need. In the wake of the pandemic and an epidemic of loneliness\, we’ve become more sharply aware that we are starved for presence\, community\, and physical connection. Fortunately\, it doesn’t have to be that way. We can come back to ourselves\, to our hearts\, to community\, and the parts of us that we have been disconnected from through safe\, non-sexual touch\, movement\, somatics\, and shared presence. \nJoin us for an Embodiment & Movement Day\, a full-day community event designed to create a safe place to explore\, learn\, and connect through different embodiment and movement modalities and consent work. There will also be opportunities to meet different bodywork and energy work practitioners in the community. This is a space to soften what’s been hardened\, to move what’s been stuck\, and to remember what it feels like to belong: in your body\, and in community. The day culminates in a live DJ jam session\, where we welcome the different types of embodiment and movement explored in workshops to be combined in a safe\, full-community container. \n* Participants must attend at least 1 workshop to participate in the jam. No one turned away for lack of funds. Contact us if cost is a barrier. $15-$20/workshop $40-$60 for full day/unlimited workshops $10-$20 for open jam \n~~~ \n**Workshop Schedule** \n9:30am: Opening Mindful Movement with Grant Rizvi • 20 minutes \n10:00am: Compassionate Touch for Deep Connection with Tim Lewandowski and Becca Phillips • 90 minutes \n10:00am: Vibrating into Vibrant Aliveness: Tension Release Exercises (TRE) with Matt Krolick • 90 minutes \n11:45am: Reiki Dance: Energy Healing Through Movement with Daniel Montoya and Dani Bentz • 90 minutes \n11:45am: Thai Partner Massage with Lee Ann Song • 90 minutes \n1:15pm: Potluck Lunch and Community Consent and Harm Reduction Talk with Adam Greenberg • 60 minutes \n2:15pm: Sonic Shake-Up with Wren Medina • 20 minutes \n2:45pm: Embodied Vocal Expression with Selah • 90 minutes \n2:45pm: Contact Beyond Contact with Nathaniel Mahieu • 90 minutes \n4:30pm: Mirror & Merge: A Contact Improv Workshop with Gabrielle Fiedor • 90 minutes \n4:30pm: Soul Dance with Shün • 90 minutes \n6:00pm: Dinner Break 60 minutes \n7:00pm: Open Jam live DJ set by Smalankas • 2 hours \n___________ \nIf you have any questions\, contact Becca Phillips: \nPhone: 781-690-0525 \nEmail : rebeccajemmaphillips@gmail.com

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:Somatic Grief Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Grief can feel isolating and overwhelming\, but it is also deeply human—something our bodies are wired to move through together. In a world that has forgotten how to grieve in community\, this gathering is a return to ritual\, to connection\, and to the possibility that grief\, while painful\, can also be a teacher—tender\, transformative\, even generative.This ritual is an invitation to experience the power of moving through grief in community. We’ll spend time in stillness and sound\, with nature and with each other. There will be gentle invitations for writing\, sound & movement\, a co-created altar of natural objects\, and shared music to hold what words can’t. Personal and collective losses are welcome here. \n  \nCost: $10-$20\, no one turned away for lack of funds \nDoors open: 7:15pm \nCeremony starts: 7:30pm \nWe invite you to bring with you photos of loved ones or anything that moves you. \n  \nFacilitators: Gabbi Fiedor & Becca Phillips \nSound Bath Artist: Abby Frechette

SUMMARY:Cacao & Connection - Cacao Ceremony & Deep Connection Mixer
DESCRIPTION:When was the last time you felt truly seen and connected with others? We’re creating an intimate space where you can open your heart and experience meaningful connections. \nWe start the evening with a beautiful heart-opening cacao ceremony. Our ceremonial-grade cacao from Prophecy Chocolate is enhanced with almond milk\, warming spices\, vanilla\, and maple syrup\, creating a unique and creamy blend that opens the heart while gently stimulating and expanding consciousness. \nThis helps you drop into a more heart-centered place where you can feel the warmth of your own love. From this place\, you can connect more easily and deeply with others (and with yourself). \nNext we move into playing some connection games \nWHAT ARE CONNECTION GAMES? \nRather than having a bunch of polite small talk\, we will focus on playing games that create heartfelt connections with each other. \nBy participating in these eye opening (and heart opening) games\, you’ll not only have a lot of fun\, but you’ll learn a so much about yourself and the people around you. \nAnd on a practical level\, you’ll also learn tools that you can use in your everyday life to create a deeper connections with others. \nDoes that sound like music to your ears? We are excited to co-create this intentional social / ceremonial gathering together with you. \nGIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF AN OPEN HEART \nWe all long for love and connection in our lives. This is your invitation to experience something truly special – an evening of opening your heart\, making meaningful connections\, and nourishing your body and soul. \nI’ve spent years perfecting my cacao recipe\, drawing inspiration from my time living in Paris to create something extraordinary. The result is a luxurious blend that rivals French hot chocolate while maintaining the potent\, heart-opening properties of ceremonial cacao. \nWe complete this sensory journey with a comforting vegan soup\, which will help ground you in your body as we close the evening. \nDoes your heart whisper “yes” to this experience? We’d love to share this sacred evening with you. \nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS \nWhere is it? – The event is held at the Common Street Spiritual Center in Natick\, MA which is a beautiful facility for an event like this. \nWhat time? – We start promptly at 6:30pm and go until 9:30pm (with a break in the middle). Please plan on arriving by 6:15pm so you have time to settle in and meet the other members. \nHow much? – The cost is $45 which is makes this a very affordable experience for anyone. This includes the cost of the cacao and the homemade vegan soup that’s provided at the end to help ground you. \nHow can I best prepare? – We will send you some instructions ahead of time. It’s best to not eat 2-3 hours beforehand so your body can quickly absorb the cacao\, and you can drop into the experience. \nWe’re looking forward to seeing you there. \nWarmly\, \nJason & Amanda

SUMMARY:Inaugural Class - Intuitive Dance
DESCRIPTION:With joy and presence\, I invite you to join the inaugural event of my dance method – a free gathering held in a space of spirituality\, care\, and transformation. \nIn this gathering\, I will present the foundation of my signature method\, which was born from a deep listening to my own body in motion and is nourished by multiple sources: Gypsy dance\, theater\, bioenergetics\, somatic education\, intuitive dance\, biodanza\, among other practices of reconnection and expression. \nMore than techniques\, what I share here is a lived path.\nMy body is living proof that movement can heal\, release\, and awaken dormant potential. \nThroughout the experience\, I will also guide somatic practices\, allowing you to feel this approach in your skin\, your rhythm\, and your soul — and to sense what it may awaken within you.

SUMMARY:DUB YOGA x Reggae Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, June 30th\, Strictly Yard Music presents a unique night of Yoga\, Reggae\, and Community!  At 7 pm\, Dr. Jen Kurz will teach a special DUB YOGA class in step with the sounds of Reggae and Dub music courtesy of DJ Jah Rich.  This vinyasa flow will have a “taste of the Carribean” as DJ Jah Rich spins the Jamaican music to the beat of the class!  All the action goes down at the popular Common Street Spiritual Center\, a homebase for spiritual entrepreneurship in the MetroWest (MA).  Admission is $15 or a donation to the Food Pantry at the center. \nAt 8 pm\, the lights turn down and the music turns up!  DJ Jah Rich will spin the best in Reggae from Studio 1 treasures to Rub-a-Dub bangers\, all the way to Dancehall hits and the latest from the ever expanding world of Reggae music.  There will be LIVE performances by Ian Mevorach and Nyjah DiOrganizah\, who recently released an EP titled\, Who Is Nyjah?  Vegetarian food will be available on site\, and there will be a toast at 9 pm to celebrate the birthdays of Jen and Nyjah.  This Reggae Dance Party is free and family friendly.  There is plenty of parking and a comfortable atmosphere.  This unique event is a one-two punch that shouldn’t be missed! \n#dubyoga  #dubyoganatick  #natickyoga  #metrowestyoga  #selectorjahrich  #jahrich  #nyjahdiorganizah  #ianmevorach  #commonstreetnatick  #natick  #metrowestma  #dub \nWhat is Dub music?   \nDub is one of the many sub genres of Reggae.  Dub is instrumental Reggae that is artistically enhanced and layered with effects like echo and reverb as well as production techniques like splicing in snippets of vocals or sporadically dropping out all the instruments except for the powerful\, stripped down drum and bass.  Dub gives the recording engineer the opportunity to become the musician as their multi-track mixing console acts as the instrument.  An engineer making Dub is like a chef creating a unique meal not often seen on most menus!  Jamaican producer and engineer King Tubby is credited as the creator of Dub\, as he first experimented with ways to manipulate and “dub out” his instrumental tracks in the early 1970s.  Today\, his innovation and influence is widely seen in genres like techno\, drum and bass\, and dubstep.  Dub stands as another example of the rich contributions of Jamaican music.  Jah Rich 7/19/2023 \nFlyer Design by @DawnDawta

SUMMARY:Sufi Zikr and Whirling
DESCRIPTION:Mevlevi Sufi Zikr in the tradition of Rumi with Karim and Noor Kerima Payton\, Suleyman Loras and musicians friends. \nJoin us for a magical experience of Mevlevi Sufi dancing and singing in celebration of Divine Presence. For over forty years\, the Mevlevi Order of America has offered gatherings with music\, poetry and dervish whirling and chanting. We will lead a Zikr practice in the tradition of Rumi. \nThe Mevlevi tradition hearkens back to Sufi master Rumi (1207-1273)\, who has become the best-selling poet in America. Rumi’s poetry is filled with a longing for God the Friend and the Beloved. His realization expressed the Source of all religions and spiritual paths\, the Way of Love\, that unites those of many cultures and traditions. \n‘Zikhr’\, a Sufi chanting practice\, means ‘Remembrance of God’. It awakens us from the state of forgetfulness\, forgetting why one has come to Earth. It is a channel opener which helps with attaining true knowledge. \nThe Musicians will share devotional music played on traditional instruments. Everyone attending a Zikr is a participant; as the gathering unfolds\, all are tuned\, by the music and language of the Heart\, to the baraka (blessing)-filled atmosphere of love. \n“When a human being performs zikr\, their spirit—their heart starts to open.  Their intelligence becomes more refined and more expansive.  Their bodies become healthier.  A beautiful condition comes about—similar to the one that is brought about by good music.  The whole being opens up like a flower\, and the divine secret—the things you couldn’t understand or know about before—begin to be revealed to you.” \n\nSuleyman Hayati Dede\, founder of the Mevlevi Order of America\n\nSuggested donation: $20+ (cash or Venmo at the door) \nAdvance registration available at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sufi-zikr-and-whirling-tickets-1406406382349?aff=oddtdtcreator \nAbout Mevlevi Order of America: \nhttp://hayatidede.org/aboutmoa

SUMMARY:Yoga in the Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Yoga is a practice that brings together the mind and body.  In fact\, yoga means “to yoke” or unite.   It is an ancient healing practice that is both physical and spiritual\, incorporating postures\, breath\, and meditation.  Yoga heals!   Yoga provides relief from numerous forms of trauma\, anxiety\, and physical stiffness.  It also builds a strong physical and spiritual core.\n\n\nJoin 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.  There is no registration required\, and the cost per class is $10 or a food pantry donation (the pantry is located outside the center).  Class will not meet on federal holidays.  Venmo: Jennifer-Kurz-2.
