KIn CONTEMPLATIVE commons OF SANTA BARBARA
is a community of everyday people who are committed to nurturing
a more connected, compassionate, and just world.

Kin Commons is a space where ancient spiritual practices meet the longings of this moment located at a historic downtown Santa Barbara church. In the midst of a frenzied and fragmented world — where so many of us feel overwhelmed and disconnected from one another and what is sacred — we gather to be grounded in presence, to belong to a community shaped by love, and to become people who cultivate lives of shared responsibility for recovering wholeness and neighborliness in our time.
