Common Ground Ensemble

Common Ground Ensemble is a collective of changemakers rooted in the yearning for connection to the essentials of existence. We create a safe space for difficult conversations and foster awe that becomes the gateway to a deeper sense of wonder and transformation. Through events, labs and media productions we accelerate the compassion and expertise of our members for change.

The Venue: Common Ground Kaua’i

Common Ground is a place-based hospitality company. Our Kaua’i campus is a 60 acres former guava plantation that is steeped in rich history. Always mindful of our impact we aim to be transformative instead of extractive.  From the way we grow food in a regenerative agroforst, to our community partnerships, investments in the local entrepreneur ecosystem, events that integrate culture and community and a restaurant committed to sourcing from local supply chains. We develop homesites, off-island partnerships and a membership program that reaches far beyond Kauai.

We are building spaces for shared experience, shared learning and deep human connection.

Each location is not just a stunning backdrop but a central character in the story we create — it's about feeling a deep connection to the land, its history, and its culture. This connection fosters a profound sense of belonging, both to the place itself and to the community that shares it. By immersing in the unique essence of each location, members and visitors find not just a physical space but a gateway to connect with themselves, others, and the environment. This deep relationship with place catalyzes authentic experiences, meaningful relationships, and personal transformation.
