The Soil Sponge Collective is the collaborative effort of volunteers belonging to various advocacy groups such as Woodshed Gardens, BirdHouse, SoCal350, Hollywood Orchard, Pachamama Alliance, and the Tongva and Chumash Ancestors.
Together we are committed to serving the healing and regeneration of all life.
We engage in projects of varying scales that regenerate soil, restore village-minded consciousness, and respond to the deep calling of our time. The environmental, social and spiritual challenges before us require that we individually and collectively return to Nature — for healing, for sustenance and for clues to the way forward. The future will emerge out of our love for and responsibility to this planet.
We tend to the Earth to respect and reconnect to the natural cycles and rhythms of life. By healing ourselves, we heal the world.
