In Community with Place will illuminate the essence of “place”, as the principle that brings regenerative aspirations to the world of impact and action. It ensures we think holistically - about ourselves, our communities, our businesses, and our futures - with each decision we make. It introduces us to new people, and shows us new directions. It restores and teaches us, serving as grounding and guide. The Common Ground Summit seeks to embody this sense of place, giving us space to learn and grow together. And giving us new perspectives to bring to whatever we do and wherever we call home.
Theme Common Ground Summit 2024: Regenerative Leadership
The 2024 Summit will focus on the power of “place”as a foundation for regenerative, restorative community. Starting with our own location, the beautiful Island of Kaua’i, we’ll explore how deep engagement with the places we live and work – and the communities, cultures, histories, and people that bring them to life – can help us embrace a whole systems approach to regenerative change wherever we come from.
The Common Ground Summit In Community with Place will explore our relationship to Place along the following 5 tracks:
Food Systems & Culture
Community Engagement and Empowerment
Hospitality
Nature
Sourcing & Supply Chains
