Holding Space With Hands in The Soil

Holding Space is a new monthly gathering and family-friendly event organized  by Hands in the Soil (HITS) at Arlington Garden this spring dedicated to rest, renewal, and collective healing in partnership with nature. Organized by Hands in the Soil (HITS), this free wellness pop-up is part of ongoing wildfire wellness support efforts, centering our community impacted by the recent fires. Through creativity, collective care, and connection to nature, we hold space for grief, renewal and resilience. Through intentional activations—ranging from movement and meditation to grief circles and creative expression—we cultivate spaces for all to pause, reconnect, and strengthen bonds within community.  The first event will feature Meditative Beading: A Practice of Remembrance & Renewal as a ritual of reflection and intention-setting through the art of beading where you can weave your prayers, memories, and visions into a tangible piece of wearable energy as well as a Balancing Emotions session provided by Isuini Martial Healing Arts. Please bring blankets or an outdoor rug, snacks, personal water bottle which you can refill at the free filtered water dispenser, and N95 mask or higher. This free event is open to all, with a high focus on on the givers, healers, first responders and community organizers.  For more information and to RSVP, please visit the Hands in the Soil website.
