Grounded & Growing

Preparing for The Tree’s New Home

We appreciate the experiences & expansion of this wellness community in our current home. However, our lease ends in 2027, and we believe the next best step for the sustainability of this work and community is to purchase land in South Central / South LA and build the expanded vision that you have helped co-create.

**RSVP for our free campaign launch event: Grounded & Growing on July 12th at 2-6pm**

Why Land, Why Now?

Since 2020, The Tree Yoga Cooperative has been serving community members in South Central and across Los Angeles in accessing culturally relevant yoga & mindfulness practices and education. This has created more resilience, personal and collective peace & power, as well as employment and employment opportunities.

Wellness & More Opportunities

In addition to expanding our yoga and wellness offerings to communities who need it most, this land will feature a community garden, indoor gathering spaces for collaboration and cooperative initiatives and an affordable space for local emerging co-ops.

Community & Social Justice

As we’ve grown, so has our commitment to our community. In response to a socio-political context of increasing violence by the state against our BIPOC, LGBTQ, and undocumented communities, we feel a duty to find new ways to deepen our support for our community members.

That's why we're establishing a permanent wellness hub on this land, a space dedicated to healing, care, and resilience for those who need it most in LA. This includes frontline communities facing ongoing threats, as well as the organizers and aid workers who are showing up every day to support them. By creating this hub, we're not only offering vital resources but we're also investing in the long-term well-being and sustainability of those leading the fight for justice.

Sustainability & Growth

This land is an opportunity for us to break free from the extractive landlords who terrorize our communities and to expand our own cooperative model by offering additional co-ownership and equity opportunities in the co-op for staff, students, and community. This creates more jobs, economic development, and community ownership.
