Resonance: A Yoga & Sound Journey is a practice led by Pasadena-raised yoga teacher (and musician) Qur’an Shaheed with a guest musician on second Sundays of each month at Arlington Garden. The late morning/early afternoon session blends movement, breath, and live music outdoors to deepen the mind-body-nature connection. This immersive experience weaves together flowing asana, guided breathwork, and intuitive soundscapes, creating space for inner alignment and self-discovery. Rooted in both stillness and rhythm, each session invites you to tune in, release, and move in harmony with the present moment. Each month features a different musical collaborator.  Participation in yoga is optional, and if you just want to lay underneath the trees and listen that’s absolutely encouraged!   These limited capacity monthly classes are now free of charge thanks to a grant from the California Community Foundation.  Please register in advance for each month on the Living Earth website.

Drop in anytime between 12:30pm and 3:30pm on September 13 to contribute to a large community artwork called Watershed, a project by Pasadena-based artist Kate Lain who was awarded an Individual Artist Grant through the City of Pasadena Arts and Culture Commission in Summer 2026. At this first drop-in art-making session, you’ll use the analog cyanotype process to create designs and images on pieces of fabric that will later be sewn together into the large final community artwork - a 50-foot textile stream that will be installed in Arlington Garden in Spring 2027. The project's title, Watershed, is in homage to Eaton Canyon. It references both an area of land that channels water to a common outlet and also refers to a turning point, a significant moment or dividing point.

Participants are encouraged to bring along a small meaningful object to create an imprint to leave behind using the cyanotype process. Community members impacted by the Eaton Fire are especially invited to participate. Objects you may use to create a cyanotype might include something that has brought you comfort since the fire or something that survived the fire. Or it might be something else. It’s entirely up to you. (Note that you won’t be leaving your object behind, you’ll be taking it home with you once you use it to make your cyanotype!)

No experience necessary. All ages welcome. Registration is encouraged to have ample supplies.

This is part of a series of free outdoor art-making events in Fall 2026 and Winter 2027 with Kate Lain. The events contribute to the collaborative creation of Watershed, a post-wildfire community art project grounded in the idea that creating art in community with one another and with the environment can be healing.

Stay tuned for additional Watershed workshops. There will be announcements on Watershed’s Instagram and Facebook, and via Arlington Garden. Fall activities will focus on cyanotype-making, and winter workshops will focus on assembling, embellishing, and hand-sewing the individual fabric components to create the stream.

Watershed is hosted by Arlington Garden and made possible in part by the Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission and the City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division.

A fungi-focused community education group organized by mycologist Aaron Tupac, Exploring the Mycoverse meets to intentionally cultivate community and discuss how fungi can remind us of our interconnectedness. It is a values-based community inspired by fungi working together to learn how to be in better relationship with the more-than-human world. Each workshop is unique with a dedicated topic, and approaches to exploration have included guest speakers, book discussions, the Fungi Film Festival, and more.  All events are free and open to the public - you are always welcome to join! Founded by mycologist Aaron Tupac in July 2021, Mycoverse has hosted over 100 workshops, reaching more than 1,000 people. The Mycoverse usually meets twice a month on alternating Mondays, in the Olive Allée at Arlington Garden.

Learn regenerative gardening by doing it yourself with other volunteers! Every final Saturday of the month from 9:00am to 12:00pm join us for a Weekend Projects volunteer event. Participation is free and getting dirt-ish in a beautiful garden is enjoyable. All events that are part of this final Saturday program are project-based rebuild projects--learn how to garden regeneratively with native and mediterranean climate plants by working on a specific rejuvenation or rebuild in the garden. Examples of possible projects include replanting a native plant walk subsumed by CA wild roses and weeds, redesigning garden "rooms" damaged by heat and improving their irrigation, prepping beds for wildflower sowing, joining a garden survey to catalogue the different species found in the garden 20 years after our founding.

Hosted at Arlington Garden since February 2025, Holding Space is a gathering for all ages event organized by Hands in the Soil (HITS) dedicated to rest, renewal, collective healing, and community recovery in partnership with nature. Holding Space is a community gathering focused on deep listening, reflection, and collective healing in nature, with Arlington Garden offering a sanctuary for restoration and connection. This free wellness pop-up is an ongoing effort that supports and centers the communities and families who continue to heal from the impacts of the Eaton Fire. Intentional monthly activations—ranging from movement and meditation to grief circles and creative expression—cultivate a space for all to pause, reconnect, and strengthen bonds within community. Through creativity, collective care, and connection to nature, we hold space for grief, renewal and resilience. This program is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the California Community Foundation.
