About us
Northern Commons is a community practicing the art of being alive together.
We’re a group of curious people with diverse interests who gather for discussion, meditation, shared meals, music, and play. Some of us love poetry, complexity theory, and math. Some are artists, technologists, scientists, contemplatives, organizers, builders, and wanderers. What matters most is curiosity, sincerity, and a willingness to be changed by encounters with other people and ideas.
Our world is complex and fast-moving. Let’s slow down to cultivate the perspective, presence, relationships, and practical wisdom needed to live thoughtfully, creatively, and courageously.
If that sounds like something you’ve been looking for, come join us!

Evening Sound Bath & Bedtime Tea
Northern Commons, 308 E Prince St #246, St. Paul, MN, USJoin Marc Anderson for healing, connection, and meditation through immersive sound!
Sound baths are meditative experiences where participants are "bathed" in sound waves and vibrations produced by instruments like gongs, singing bowls, chimes, drums, and hand pans. Designed to induce deep relaxation, lower stress, and improve mood, they act as a form of sound therapy, often helping participants feel calmer and more centered.
There’s a growing body of research suggesting that sound healing practices can positively affect our physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. But beyond the science, sound baths are also a chance to slow down, tune in, and rest while doing nothing for a while. As a shared experience, they can create a surprising sense of connection and togetherness (like a group nap for the nervous system, but with better acoustics).
Stay for herbal tea after the sound bath!
