About Our Name ‘Heart Comonos’

The word "commons" has captured our imagination! It offers such a compassionate contrast to much of the conflict, competition, isolation and inequity we feel in our world and communities today.  Commons is rooted in Latin, conveying the concept of shared spaces and experiences.  The actual word is "communis" - where "comm" means together and "unis" means One: "Together-As-One"!  So we created a word that combines the Latin and English: "Com-onos".  We love it! ‘Together-As-One’ is how we approach everything we do! 

We're always curious about what possibilities might emerge when we connect.  What benefits could happen when we see ourselves not as separate individuals or organizations, but rather as One, sharing and building supportive community together.  Heart Comonos is all about seeing the positive outcomes when our uniqueness and many diversities come together to make life better for everyone!  We felt this just a few years ago on an August Sunday afternoon in the heart of Cooksville.  A few people from several organizations met together and the possibilities for a more hopeful future started to glow in our hearts.  You are invited on this beautiful journey!
