Join Crystal Soto, Leanne Whitney & Steph Palomino for an evening of heart-opening ritual, reflection, and connection.
In the warmth of summer, we gather in community to honor the power of belonging—within ourselves, with each other, and with those at the margins of society whose dignity and rights call for our care.
Cacao, a sacred plant revered by Indigenous cultures for its ability to open the heart and connect us with the Divine, will be our guide. Known for its healing properties and loving energy, Cacao nurtures emotional and physical well-being, promotes spiritual clarity, and restores balance.
The evening will include journaling, intention setting, meditation, and an extended savasana accompanied by live sound healing with crystal singing bowls and other instruments—inviting deep restoration, clarity, and a renewed sense of communal care.
You’ll leave feeling grounded, nourished, and connected—to yourself and to the collective. We look forward to welcoming you!
This special ceremony will support essential legal services and advocacy that safeguard immigrant rights, with 100% of the proceeds donated to The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) chirla.org.
