 We're Here to Support the Flourishing of Contemplative Collaboration

Who We Are

Common Light is an impact advisory illuminating paths to ecosystem-wide flourishing. We guide individuals, teams, and organizations through a journey of self-directed inquiry, purposeful realignment, and contemplation, helping them cultivate cultures where human and nature’s potentials thrive.

What We Do

We empower leaders and teams to examine and realign their agreements—both implicit and explicit—with their deeper purpose and values. Through a blend of data-driven assessments, experiential learning, and tailored frameworks, we enable our partners to scale meaningful impact across their entire stakeholder ecosystem. Common Light is dedicated to kindling the spark of human flourishing in every individual, organization, and community we touch, creating a ripple effect of positive change in the world.

Why Common Light

We are the ideas we choose to illuminate.

Common Light works from a recognition of this inner light from which we can co-host new abundance-based agreements with ourselves, others, and Earth.

We are a holistic practice that draws upon the latest in humanistic management research and experiential learning.
