OUR STORY
Overview
Inspired by native and classical wisdom traditions, Soil & Soul has been working to cultivate and elevate the voice of wisdom in us and around us since 2007. We believe the voice of wisdom and the voice of nature are one and the same.
Our full-time staff is 100% people of color (50% black, 50% hispanic). Our part-time staff is 100% black. Our board of directors is 80% people of color (60% hispanic, 20% black). We serve teens, adults, parents, and children, the majority of whom are people of color (80%).

THE IMPACT
People who spend time with Soil & Soul change their habit energies. Through mindfulness, they enjoy more peace of mind and less negativity bias. Through time in nature, they feel more awake and alive. And through economic solidarity, they improve their financial wellness. We come together to do what we cannot do alone.
