Join host Serena Bian in conversation with Anne and Terry Symens-Bucher, founders of Canticle Farm, a land-based community in Oakland, California, inspired by Franciscan spirituality and Joanna Macy’s body of teachings known as the Work That Reconnects.

Join us for a live conversation with Jerry Millhon—father, life partner, friend, educator, and founder of Thriving Communities—as he reflects on the life-changing impact of a devastating bike accident. Together, they reflect on vulnerability, healing, perseverance, and the daily, courageous work of believing in what’s still possible.

Host Rabbi Irwin Keller sits with Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen to explore the influences of her childhood and young life on her lifelong calling as a healer and teacher.

Join us for the third in a series of sacred music celebrations at Commonweal, this time with Manik Khan (sarod) and Nilan Chaudhuri (tabla). Held at the solstice and equinox, the concerts—and gatherings afterward—are designed to bring people together in a convivial setting around music which delights, inspires, and elevates the soul. 

Join Host Cassandra Lynn Ferrera with Rako Fabionar as they share about how they are personally and professionally engaging in place-based liberation work—and how the kinds of wayfinding and inhabited learning they are exploring to grow and deepen kinship might be of service to other place-based and bioregional projects.

Join us for writing, dreaming, and discussion about the earth around us in this culminating event with our 2025 summer visiting scholar Craig Chalquist.
