Becoming a Member

Common Street Spiritual Center is an inclusive and diverse community rooted in love. We support each other on our journeys, express our creativity, collaborate on projects, and build relationships based in acceptance, friendship, compassion, and respect.

We welcome others to join us in building a community that is dynamically creative, radically centered in love, and which seeks to create a more just, peaceful, and compassionate world for ourselves, future generations, and all beings.

Becoming a member of the Spiritual Center is like adding a stitch that strengthens the fabric of our community. You become an integral part of our growing community.

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.

No Barriers to Participation

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. Simply show up at a discussion group, the drum circle, yoga, the open circle, or any other event on our calendar.

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 then support people as they manifest what flows from within. So we welcome your leadership, your joy, your openness to share what you are learning, and your desire to help others and create a better world.

Non-Discrimination

As an inclusive, pluralistic, non-sectarian 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.
