Green Arrow CoLab

09/25/2026

🍂Now that fall has arrived, we wanted to take a moment to look back on this Summer full of growth. This season, Green Arrow welcomed new staff to our team and celebrated our 5th fellowship cohort. We showed up for our community through our own different workshops, learned from other organizations at theirs, and deepened partnerships across the city. We also graduated from an incubation academy, created a new garden space for youth, working to regenerate another and even went on a hike during an eclipse, where we got to watch it together. 🌒

We’re so grateful to continue shring gardening, mindfulness, and somatic practices to youth and people across the city. In a time when so many are carrying stress, uncertainty, and disconnection, these practices offer something simple but powerful , which is a chance to slow down, breathe, and feel grounded again. 🪴

Putting our hands in the soil reconnects us to the earth, to where our food comes from, and to each other. Mindfulness and somatic work help us listen to our bodies and heal from what we carry.

For the communities being impacted the most, these aren’t luxuries they’re tools for resilience, wellness, and hope. 💚

Thank you to everyone who grew alongside us this summer ☀️🌒

✨ Congrats Cohort 4 ! ✨

We just wrapped another beautiful cohort with our Green Arrow Colab Earth & Liberation Fellowship. Friends, relatives, and loved ones showed up to celebrate this incredible group of participants and the love and joy in the room said it all. 💛

Grateful for every hand that helped build this moment, and even more grateful for the community that keeps showing up for each other, cohort after cohort. 🌱

Thank you to our teacher assistants and facilitators who are helping make this fellowship grow and thrive in its own way.🌼🌎

🌼🎼 This past Sunday An Invitation to Rest brought together the Green Arrow community, staff, alumni, volunteers, friends, and partners for a shared sound bath, guided meditation, and reflection guided by Xochitl Ximehua Palomera at the ESCG .

💗Which was followed by an invitation to walk across the street to the Mercado Del Pueblo Co-op community swap meet to enjoy a complimentary and delicious Green Arrow health juice prepared by Wellness | Boyle Heights Juice and spend time with the community we’ve been rooted in for the last three years and has welcomed us.

🦋This gathering was our invitation to reclaim something simple: the right to rest, not as a reward, but as a practice that sustains us and the work we love. Many of us on the Green Arrow team are system-impacted ourselves, and we’ve chosen to spend our lives serving formerly incarcerated communities.

🟢 That work is deeply personal, and unaddressed burnout can create friction and disconnection both within teams and between staff and community. Through this gathering, we wanted to come together in a shared restorative practice through sound and meditation and interrupt the cycle where burnout turns into disconnection. To those who joined us we hope you left with at least one practice or intention to carry back into daily life.💚

🪴A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers, for their support throughout the entire event from securing mats to capturing beautiful moments and keeping everything running smoothly. 💛

And again special, heartfelt thank you to Xochitl Ximehua Palomera , and ESCG whose energy and support behind the scenes helped make this whole event possible. We couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏

💚To everyone who couldn’t join us this time we missed you, and we hope to see you at our next gathering. Stay tuned, we’ve got more gor more events coming soon. 🌱

🪣👖👕💙 We had beautiful time at our latest workshop on the ancient, natural practice of indigo dyeing. For our gardening and mindfulness teachers and earth/liberation fellow alumni It was not just about the color; it was also about the slow, intentional, and sustainable practice in itself that weekend.

🦋🩵Thank you to our very own for taking that weekend to teach us that we can carry the Indigo dyeing process as a symbol for personal and collective transformation. We spent our time together exploring the ancient plant dye indigo while examining the the expired stories—both personal and of our shared world—and reimagining what a more just, loving, and equitable world would look like.
