About
LA Compost's Grounded Wellness Program offers free, hands-on workshops at Community Compost Hubs throughout Los Angeles, focusing on wellness through soil health, personal well-being, and community connection. Amid environmental crises, building resilience is crucial. Led by local experts, these sessions highlight the links between healthy soil, a thriving planet, and our well-being. Each workshop celebrates the earth’s gifts while fostering connections with nature and neighbors. Join us to cultivate wellness—nurture the land, invest in yourself, and grow together.

The foundation of all life, soil teaches us about resilience, transformation, and interconnectedness. By nurturing the earth, we cultivate abundance and recognize the vital role soil plays in sustaining our health and well-being.
-
Personal well-being is deeply tied to the rhythms of the natural world. This theme invites us to find balance, care for our mental and physical health, and embrace transformation. Through shared learning and reflection, we strengthen our capacity to navigate uncertainty, root ourselves in purpose, and embody resilience.

Summer in California is dreamy yet brings extreme weather. Our team slows down, prioritizing staff and community well-being by minimizing extra work at composting sites. While we continue composting, we embrace the season mindfully—appreciating all the abundance summers bring as well as enjoying the biodiversity we support at our sites, as we prepare for the next fall.Take care, stay hydrated, and keep visiting our Farmers Market drop-offs and volunteer opportunities, where we follow a special heat protocol. See you in the fall for more Grounded Wellness around the compost pile!

True wellness flourishes in collective care. By coming together to learn, create, and connect, we strengthen the social fabric that sustains us. Through workshops and gatherings, we co-create spaces of healing, empowerment, and collective action.
Hey! We’re social too!
