Common Ground originated in 1979 as "The Everett House Healing Center" and consisted of wellness practitioners, a hot tub and sauna facility in the 2917  building.  In 1981 the 2927 building was added to the facility.  In 1983 the name was changed to "Common Ground". The words of a Paul Winter song (from which we adopted our name) accompanied the sign:

  "in a circle of song, in a circle of sound...all our voices will blend when we touch common ground..."

Over many years, these grounds have become the home base for many of Portland's finest wellness practitioners.  The community has come to know Common Ground at the Everett House as a gathering place as well as a place of healing and inner peace. As times change we are changing our name to The Everett Healing House and hope to continue to serve you on these grounds with the best of community services in wholistic health, healing and education.

 (Though they were previous tenants of ours, we are not affiliated with the Common Ground Wellness Center)
