A great option for all. As a community, we need more places like this. But if this were the only option, then what a great one it is to have.
So much is offered by so many, for so little. If you like any one of the number of types of meditation, yoga, support groups, community work, community gathering, community retreats, sharing tea with fellow traveleres, finding new ways to grow, or connecting with yourself, others, and universe around you, then Common Ground will certainly have something special for you. CG is also a fantastic transition for any that have meditated at a vipassana center before.

I was referred to Common GroundsDivorce Mediation. Dave Musselman helped us go through the process of divorce, he is comfortable to work with and very professional. I felt that he had our best interests at heart and took good care of us. We were able to come to an agreement that worked in the best benefit of our two children and us. Over the years I have kept in contact with Dave and he continues to give me sound advice when I have needed it. I have and will continue to refer friends in need of his services to him, everyone that I have sent his way have said that they are happy with the services they have received and I feel that they are in good...
