An Open Door

We have designed our community to be like a living cell with a permeable membrane. You’re welcome to participate in any of our programs, events, groups, and gatherings without first becoming a member. The door is open.

Welcoming Leadership

We believe that each person has an inner “spiritual center,” a spark of light within. A central part of our mission is to help people get in touch with this inner guidance and inspiration, and to support them to manifest what flows from their spiritual centers. So we welcome your leadership, your desire to share what you are learning, to help others and to create a better world.

Definition of Membership

Members of Common Street Spiritual Center identify with our mission and vision, participate in the life of our community, contribute time and resources to support our mission, and live out our values within and beyond our community.

Non-Discrimination

As an inclusive, pluralistic community, we welcome people of all cultures and beliefs. We do not discriminate based on race, economic status, gender, age, sexual orientation or gender identity, marital status, ethnicity, nationality, handicap, or beliefs.

Experimenting Before Joining

People sometimes experiment with participation in various programs, events, and/or groups, before deciding to join. All are welcome to participate in the life of the Spiritual Center community before committing to membership. For example, you can simply show up at a discussion group, the drum circle, yoga, the open circle, or any other event on our calendar.
