welcome

Welcome to the Common Ground web site.

Common Ground's Spring-Summer Bulletin was delayed by a serious software crash that made it impossible to send the completed layout to print until well after the deadline. We installed new software worked with the printer to get the Spring-Summer Bulletin in the mail. Most participants received it just before the start of Spring classes in April.

CG email recipients will receive a reminder listing of June and July programs in early June.

It's a terrific schedule. We look forward to seeing you.

 

NOTE that the following CG Satellites are on hiatus until Fall 2010: Crystal Lake, Elmhurst, Palatine, Theosophical Society, and Warrenville

 

What's Happening?

Common Ground is a center for inquiry, study, and dialogue. Our primary concern is the human quest for understanding and the human pursuit of significance. While our endeavor began with the study of world religions and the commitment to inter-faith dialogue, our range of program offerings has been greatly expanded over the past several years.

Today, our primary focus is on the world's great cultural, philosophical, religious, and spiritual traditions and their implications for every dimension of human experience. Our course offerings include a tremendous variety of topics, including, but not limited to: history, literature, art, science, psychology, business, relationship, health, and personal growth. Our programs are shaped to meet the needs of all who are excited by ideas and serious about the quest.

Common Ground is for those who are already deeply grounded in their own traditions and for those who are still searching. It is a place for all who are fascinated by the convergence of the ancient with the modern, of East with West, and of spirituality with planetary reality. Common Ground brings together a knowledge of the past and a vision of the future for a better understanding of the present.

Common Ground is a fully registered not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.
