Join us on an uncommon journey to the heart of sustainability

"BE the CHANGE you want to SEE in the WORLD"

Together we'll explore organic farms and intentional eco-communities where you'll be able to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty as you participate and become part of the sustainability movement that's sweeping the planet and restoring the order so necessary to our world.  You'll experience and learn about permaculture up close and firsthand.  You'll join with leading authorities in sustainability and take part in designing a sustainable society.  You'll be able to turn your words to deeds, to live your commitment to the earth and most of all have a fabulous time. 

"The best way to FIND YOURSELF is to LOSE YOURSELF in the SERVICE OF OTHERS"

Common Circle Expeditions are a meaningful, experiential education intensive for all who participate.  Acting in service to progressive communities enriches the intention of the journey, the experience of the individual, and plants the seeds for the pro-active germination of a conscious movement.  By contributing our skills and energy to each of the communities that we visit, we'll be creating positive change, making meaningful connections, and empowering individuals with practical knowledge on ecological agriculture and design.  Engaging in team building exercises, we will demonstrate the strength in numbers that exists when a group works cooperatively to facilitate change.  What you'll do, and what you'll see will make this a learning and living experience few tours can match. 

Whether you come as an individual or bring along family, friends or that significant other, Common Circle is a ride on the wild side for every level of cyclist.  You'll love our organic, vegan meals, you'll love the company, you'll love sharing the sun on your face and wind in your hair with others who share your passions and your values.  In a world of plastic places and artificial adventures, Common Circle Expeditions are truly authentic, one of a kind, down to earth experiences filled with wonderful people and wonderful places. 

"LIVE as if you were to DIE TOMORROW.  LEARN as if you were to LIVE FOREVER. "

As a cyclist on one of our trips, what you put into your experience is what you'll get out of it.  The more questions you ask, ideas you challenge, connections you make and old habits you break, the more enriching and empowering the adventure will be! We encourage you to prepare for this journey by simply opening your mind to the wealth of opportunities that await you. 

Each tour starts with an in-depth orientation which helps build a healthy traveling community -- gets everyone introduced, covers basic bike mechanic and touring safety skills, and provides other bits needed to make a successful tour.  Bright and early the next morning, we hit the road, supported by a gear van that carries all of our gear and provides basic on-road support. 

Roughly a third to half of the time is spent biking, the other time spent at host sites, doing service projects, in discussions, and simply chilling out.  We also offer a number of extra options on our tours, such as kayaking.  The group quickly comes to function as a self-sustaining pod on wheels seeking higher meaning, authenticity and community, as the ropes are learned. 

Few things in life allow you to do so much good and have such a good time doing it.  Common Circle Expeditions are the place where intention + presence + permaculture design and healthy communities = sustainability.  Our tours are truly trips to the extraordinary designed to preserve our planet and create positive, permanent change in all of us and everything we do.
