Land Healing Altadena

This summer Soul Force Project is offering music meditations, song and ritual for Altadena residents who have lost their homes in the Eaton Fire. ‘Land Healing’ sessions will take place on impacted properties alongside individuals, couples and families who wish to bring resolution to the land and provide space for contemplation or prayer with healing intentions and discernment for future direction.

These healing arts sessions will be offered at no cost.

The intention is to shift the emotional energy around loss, release trauma, heal the land from any past violence as we acknowledge the fire, its cleansing and the opportunity for change upon us.  We are working to open heart-space to allow families to create a positive vision in their neighborhood and the future renaissance of Altadena, one that supports one another from the level of the soil we walk upon.

Displaced Altadena artists Alma Cielo and Paul Livingstone bring decades of experience with raga music of India, song and chant to the sessions and may bring supporting musicians and artists. Paul and Alma believe that the work will nurture hearts and protect the soul of Altadena and our future together as they provide our people with an introspective healing experience. 

Land Healing Session Flow may include (as residents feel comfortable)

  • music meditations (with positive constructive intentions spoken or silent expressed) 

  • healing ritual and song

  • sharing and dialogue

The work dovetails projects we are undertaking including:

  • ‘Heal Altadena’ concerts in various communities

  • ‘Thru the Fire’ recording/film/performance project celebrating Altadena’s artistic history

  • ‘1000 Voices Mosaic’, public art project utilizing ceramic/pottery shards from burned homes

Note: all spiritual traditions (or none) will be respected
