APPRECIATION AND JOY

Common Ground is pleased to celebrate the coming of spring, the time of regeneration of life and sacred beginnings.  

As community, during the month of March we will work together to create beauty and become more connected to our own soul's growth as we each evolve according to our own natural flow.  

Together we will celebrate life and invite wholeness and harmony into our lives.  We will be invited to embrace the idea that we are all part of an ever-growing creativity where everything is interrelated and interdependent.  

We will work towards the capacity to appreciate the beauty and creative potential all around us as we rejoice in the grace and blessing of renewal.  

Please join us every week for an hour of inspiration, music, message and meditation.  Everyone is invited and included.  

Come as you are.  As you are is perfect.
 
In addition to Sundays at The Chapel there are many opportunities at Common Ground each week to grow in awareness.  Be sure to check out our busy calendar for the most up-to-date listing.
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 AND SPECIAL EVENTS 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 in today's budget-conscious economy.  Our tasteful styling offers a glowing backdrop and gives a refined and intimate sense of quiet elegance.   Common Ground is pleased to partner with Blue Truffle event management. 

"We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden".

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What's New?


TRANSFORMATION THIS SPRING
  
Common Ground is pleased to have received approval from Church of the Foothills to improve a landscape are near the entrance to The Chapel.  
 
The project will transform a currently unused area into a pleasant gathering space for everyone's enjoyment.  Sustainable  materials and drought tolerant plantings will compliment the shady area beneath the beautiful Carrotwood trees there.  

Tables and chairs will be installed to create a welcoming place to enjoy hospitality. A garden arbor will be installed to create a symbolic transition from 'the world as we know it' into the calm space of the garden which will also feature a place for quiet contemplation.
