Stewarding and growing resilience in sacred ground
Commonweal sits in a place we now call Bolinas and the Pt. Reyes Peninsula. The land where we come together to learn and celebrate was, for thousands of years, the home of the Coast Miwok people. Many of us are wandering people. We come from many cultures, many of them were disrupted and destroyed. We are now fortunate enough to be the stewards of this piece of land under our feet. We recognize that this is holy ground. We honor the Miwok elders, past and present. May our words and visions join with those of the ones who came before us and be medicine for the brokenness of time, place, and peoplehood. —Rabbi Irwin Keller. On this page, you can explore some of our work connecting people to the land at Commonweal—as well as the land under the feet of our community members around the world—fostering resilience, building stewardship, and healing the wounds of history and disconnection.
