About

Cultivating Inner Wisdom. Creating Connections. Living with Intention.

Kris Lehman, founder of The Common Thread

This organization is an offering -- a sharing of gifts that have been given to me through the grace of my teachers, mentors and community. I was fortunate to encounter opportunities for professional development, and discovered meditation and yoga that guided my personal development, and I want to offer those opportunities to others.

I struggled a lot in my youth -- with direction, structure, and confidence. I learned a great deal on those paths, and I wouldn't change a bit because I can relate to almost any challenge. I also know that if I had learned earlier in life how to work with my mind, my energy, and how to trust my own insight, I could have discovered even earlier that I held the key to unlocking my own growth, and that is when the fun really begins.

Understanding that inner wisdom, presence, and joy are not in opposition to security or success unlocks creativity and potential that everyone deserves.

Professionally, I have watched these tools in action. I love my career as the VP of HR for a nonprofit of 800+ team members, and I have been part of several senior leadership teams who have created financial success centered in curiosity and compassion. Commitment to continuous growth, new tools and resources is essential and I love development - particularly when it is paired with the opportunity to integrate the information in the moment, and with people I trust.

For many years, I felt that my personal and professional journeys were distinct. I was exploring grounding practices, energy work, and traveling the world. While I knew they inspired growth in my career, I kept them "separate" from my professional conversations. I know now those worlds were never separate and they supported the expansion of the other. I want to provide opportunities for exploration of both -- growth and contemplation -- in accessible and tangible ways.

What is The Common Thread?

The Common Thread is an organization dedicated to:

Connecting people who share something in common, who want to grow insight and create tangible outcomes and success in restorative and empowering ways.
Introducing the benefits of contemplative and grounding practices like meditation in an approachable way. These practices integrate learning and create improved opportunities for implementing the insights we gain.
Creating community that extends beyond the local and global events. Meet people who share your journey who want to live and lead the way you do!
