Ongoing programs and research at Northern Commons
Our Current Projects
Diverse Futures is a lecture series highlighting visions of a future that embraces diversity. This lecture series will begin in the summer of 2026. Northern Commons is currently seeking visionary humans interested in sharing their vision of a diverse future. Please see our request for proposals for more details.
Flourishing Now is an exploration of the capacities that allow us to be positively transformed by experience rather than just reacting to it. It’s for people who want to participate more fully, freely, and wisely in a rapidly changing world.
Urban Monk brings meditation and contemplative practice into everyday life through weekly online and in-person meditation and full- and half-day retreats. Whether it’s your first time sitting or you’ve practiced for years, you’re welcome to join us.
