During the month of October we are pleased to offer a variety of exciting classes, workshops and events at Common Ground Spiritual Wellness Center.  New classes form weekly.  Be sure to check out our busy calendar for the most up-to-date listing.  

The theme for October's Sunday Inspirational Talks at The Chapel will be "Coming Home to Who We Are" based on David Richo's book of the same title.  Each week Reverend Glenda and Reverend Judy will help us explore the idea that we can cultivate the courage to open to whatever arises in our lives and trust that we humans are inherently pure goodness, consciousness, and love.  

Take time out of your busy schedule to nurture yourself, meditate, heal, explore new ideas, grow in awareness, and make a commitment to live your best life.

Get involved!  Share our commitment to be the change we hope to see in the world
Common Ground is founded on the idea of embracing humanity ~ our own and that of others.  We endeavor to serve and empower the local and global community,  to actively support efforts toward creating a sustainable planet, and to grow as individuals toward a healthy lifestyle ~ body, mind and spirit.

We are creative, innovative, and contemporary in our approach to learning and demonstrating practices to support us in navigating through the complexities of day-to-day life; including meditation, personal growth, and exploration of wisdom traditions

Please check us out to see if we are a fit for your spiritual journey.

WEDDINGS AT THE CHAPEL ON COMMON GROUND
 
The Chapel is one of Southern California's newest and most desirable niche wedding and special occasion venues. It is a picture-perfect turn-key setting for today's budget-conscious contemporary couples. Our tasteful styling offers a glowing backdrop and gives an intimate sense of quiet elegance.   

"Our personal gifts have only to be opened into their fullest emergent possibility, that of cocreating a brighter and kinder world.  This will take thinking big, a radical expansion of our imagination and our optimism.  It will mean taking on a four-part challenge: trust, vision, practice, outreach.  The spiritual power of grace will find ways to help us."  David Richo, Coming Home to Who You Are
