About the event
Organized by Hands in the Soil (HITS), A free monthly gathering dedicated to collective healing in partnership with nature. Through intentional activations—ranging from movement and meditation to creative expression—we cultivate spaces for all to pause, connect and heal within community.
Donations are welcome to sustain future Hands in the Soil community wellness initiatives.
Free and open to all
Join us for a special Holding Space gathering dedicated to Land Healing—a community-centered collaboration led by Soul Force Project, in partnership with Hands in the Soil (HITS).
This introductory session marks the first public Land Healing offering, opening a larger series of ceremonies that will continue privately with Altadena residents who lost their homes in the Eaton Fire. Together, we’ll honor the people, the land, and the spirit of Altadena through music, meditation, and ritual.
The afternoon will feature a soundscape by YD Nature, guiding participants into deep listening and reflection, and Raga Meditation for positive energy and peace led by Paul and Alma Livingstone of Soul Force Project.
As part of the ceremony, guests are invited to bring flowers, fruit, and coins (especially from other parts of the world) as offerings for the Earth-healing ritual led by Alma Livingstone—a collective prayer for renewal of the lands affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires.
This is a space for remembrance, reverence, and regeneration—where music and intention meet in service of healing the Earth and all who belong to it.
