We don't need more cafes and social clubs to feel less lonely. What we need are more spaces that can help us feel fundamentally okay and seen in our deep aloneness.

We are all alone on this journey. Following the telos of our unique unfolding purpose is ultimately our own cross

Eye contact event last night The Commons: By the end everyone was 1) very comfortable with eye contact (at least within the group) and 2) making ~100% eye contact while speaking, listening, and thinking, both 1on1 and in group conversation. I'm still smiling about it the event

Running eye contact Monday The Commons

With a playful, heart-filled, and exploratory winter / spring campus wrapping up, we’re getting excited for the summer campus 🌞

We need more 'third spaces' in NYC for young people to find community

Impressed with what Patricia Mou and team are building with The Commons

The loneliness epidemic is partially due to the lack of community spaces

City Campus vibe via The Commons:
-Third spaces: community hangout spots
-Coworking: community offices
-Living near friends: including co-living, cohousing, or villages
-Intentional culture: people around you are passionate and have actively chosen their path through life

humanism & community

a deep value placed on personal growth, sustainability & human agency keeps its citizen's attracted to the city. the friends you make, the conversations you enjoy embeds a deep sense of belonging.

weekly nomz and hang 🍲 hosted by the amazing Dan Jung and Neha Kay

An incredible weekend for the artist guild at The Commons.

We came together and explored different mediums, and shared our curiosities and what makes us come alive.

We danced, wrote, sang, laughed, and co-created.

This is the artist way.

so grateful for The Commons - my spiritual home, this place gives me hope - studying “the war of art” how to fight the battle to make the potential genius inside actuality
