Common Ground

Common Ground is a farm-first hospitality destination where people reconnect with the land and each other. Rooted in heritage, we honor culture, community, and place—stewarding a living food forest as a symbol of interdependence and regeneration. We source all food locally, create opportunities for our communities, and design immersive experiences that spark awe & curiosity and cultivate connections that matter between people, place and possibility.

Our Kaua’i campus is a 60 acres former guava plantation that is steeped in rich history. Always mindful of our impact we aim to be transformative instead of extractive.  From the way we grow food in a regenerative agroforest, to our community partnerships, investments in the local entrepreneur ecosystem, events that integrate culture and community and a restaurant committed to sourcing from local supply chains. We develop homesites, off-island partnerships and a membership program that reaches far beyond Kauai.

We are building spaces for shared experience, shared learning and deep human connection.

Common Ground Ensemble

Participants in the Common Ground Summit become part of the Common Ground Ensemble -a collective of changemakers. We create a safe space for difficult conversations and foster awe that becomes the gateway to a deeper sense of wonder and transformation.
