Steve Hillson

Steve loves Common Ground, both the retreat center and the city center, and he feels grateful for the opportunity to contribute to its beautiful mission of offering a safe, welcoming place to practice the cultivation of wisdom and compassion. He started connecting with Common Ground sometime around 2015. He has served as a program host, volunteer coordinator, kitchen manager, and a participant in work practice periods. He also assisted the CG leadership develop policies and practices related to COVID-19 prevention.
Steve (he/him) is a spouse (to Kristin), a father (to Maddy, Nate and Nick), a musician (trumpet), a sometimes woodworker, mushroom grower, and maple tree tapper, and he is a retired doctor (internal medicine). He feels deeply indebted to the Buddha and to the entire lineage of teachers for making this path available and accessible.
