Let's Light the Path Together

We support people and organizations to develop flourishing leadership through workshops, events, and advisory services.

Within each of us flows an endless wellspring of creativity, offering to be in service of the world.

We can learn to see this abundance streaming forth from everything we encounter, even our purpose.

Embracing abundance invites us to step beyond old habits and into fresh ways of engaging the world.

Common Light nurtures this capacity, with a little help from Mother Nature, to serve what calls you forward.
