Common Ground Tucson is hosting the first in a series of monthly events celebrating community. This coming Sunday, February 20, 2011, from 3-9 p.m., join other Tucsonans on the roof of the Pennington St. Parking Garage for sharing, learning, talking, and– most importantly– seeking common ground.

If you want to help Tucson grow, thrive, and become more sustainable, and you want to meet like-minded folks, you’re invited! Here is the scoop from the Common Ground Tucson website.

The invitation is to every group, organization, collective, congregation, school, club, small business and individual in the Tucson area to show up and share what they do and/or want to do to make Tucson (and the world) a happier, more peaceful, sustainable and balanced place.

The event is an orchestration of that sharing. It includes the usual tables and booths for displaying information and interactive outreach, but….

the real excitement is that it’s a continuous round of inventive ways to invite and inspire participation that connects people experientially with those resources and opportunities. It’s a showcase of local talent, musical, artistic, entrepreneurial and organizational, all designed for everyone to take part in right on the spot. It’s about healing, intervening, water, wildlife, food, faith, transportation and compost. It’s mini workshops, group games, challenges and dialogue. It’s singing and dancing and telling each other jokes, stories and imagined possibilities.

It’s everything we can imagine and set into motion, and yet, its true core intention, is about connecting with each other and the big picture of what that means to all our lives. Common Ground is a stage where everyone is a performer, quiet or loud, optimistic, pessimistic, young or old, no matter what you believe is true or isn’t, because…. Tucson is such a stage.

It’s finally time to get to know one another and we’re here to make that easy.

The Pennington St. Parking Garage is on the southeast corner of E. Pennington St. and N. Scott Ave. in downtown Tucson. Common Ground Tucson plans to hold monthly events on the third Sunday of each month at this time and location.
