THE VILLAGE COMMONS
Join us in the Village Commons
the Living Heart of the Convergence
The Village Commons is our collective expression of the world we are co-creating. It is the heartbeat of the Convergence and couldn’t be possible without the village coming together to manifest this vision each year. The Village Commons is a space for healers, artists, safer spaces, tea houses, children and families, community organizing and whatever else autonomously transpires throughout the weekend. These unique spaces exist at The Convergence to invigorate connection, healing, creativity, and collaboration across the various facets of life
In it’s 13 year of participating in the NorCal Permaculture Convergence, PLACE enlivens the Village Commons with offerings of community arts, gathering spaces, and ecological design.
In 2018, We Co-created the Following Spaces:

The Sun Temple cultivates a safe space for all who identify as men to practice and to tend healthy masculinity together for healing, happiness, and responsible contribution to the well being of our larger communities; including the deconstruction of patriarchy, colonialism, racism, sexism, genderism, and even egoism and anthropocentrism.
Grief and gratitude are deeply connected. Grief is a feral emotion. One that flows like water and needs to be witnessed in order to fully move. In western culture, we have the tendency to believe that we have to do it on our own. We are discovering, however, as we enter a new paradigm: we actually can’t and don’t have to!
