There’s a conversation in this room that only these people can have. Find it!

Our Vision

Every innovator is rooted in the relationships and resources needed to fulfill their deep purpose.

Our Mission

We nurture fertile ground where entrepreneurs, organizers, and artists connect and flourish.

OuR How

  • Owning and operating collaborative workspaces, like our workspace at Commongrounds.

  • Developing and facilitating networks of peer support, like our Office of Possibilities and other Grove Gatherings.

  • Attracting new resources to nurture social innovators, like our TC SOUP and Dune Bus events.

The world’s best gardeners don’t weed. They don’t pull, prune or fertilize. They barely even water. 

They know they don’t need to.

They just focus–endlessly and obsessively–on building healthy soil.

The plants know how to do the rest.

We’re following this wisdom to unite and support our local changemakers.
