• Kindred Spirits Care Farm

  Kindred Spirits Care Farm is not only the home to many sentient beings, it offers a warm loving environment where compassion lives in every nook and cranny as well as a safe place for high school kids to feel accepted, useful and part of a community. It’s amazing how showing up to help others ends up being so rewarding, every — single — time.

• Sunset With the Wolves

  with Wolf Connection

  This was our first sunset with the wolves habitat cleaning at Wolf Connection and it was a huge success. Not only did we have a blast clearing out the habitats, we had a magical time meeting the pack.

  

• July 2019

  Pick Up For Paradise with a Silent Disco!

  We did something a little different this time by starting with a meditation led by the founder of Engage the Vision, Greg Kinsey, and following that with a silent disco! One hundred and fourteen people showed up to clean our coastline and we couldn’t be happier.

  

• Our 10th Pick Up For Paradise

  with Heal the Bay

  Our 10th Pick Up For Paradise, can you believe it? Everyone was all smiles picking up trash on a sunny California day — as you can see, in the lower right picture, we are grooming our future board members. We collected 3,094 pieces on this clean-up and in total we have picked up 40,447 items! It’s amazing what we can do when we come together.

  PS — We love that the boys are joining us with our beach efforts!

• Pick Up For Paradise with Los Angeles Circle of Giving

  with Los Angeles Circle of Giving

  This cleanup was very special for us as we brought inner-city kids to the beach. A lot of them had never before been to the beach. We started the day with an introduction by our founder Sparrow Heatley followed by Greg Kinsey from Los Angeles Circle of Giving leading a powerful meditation.

  Following the meditation the kids picked up over 2,000 items from the beach. Afterwards we showed them the sea creatures in the aquarium under the pier. It was a full fun day for the volunteers and the kids.

  

• Pick Up For Paradise — Girls Only!

  with Heal the Bay

  Sometimes we like to leave the boys at home and bring a bunch of amazing ladies together to get their hands dirty and help breathe some life back into our oceans. Don’t worry boys — most of our Pick Ups are co-ed.

  

• Pick Up For Paradise

  with Heal the Bay

  We try to host Pick Up For Paradise at least 3 to 6 times a year. These events are led by Sparrow Heatley. From The Heart Tribe’s clean up efforts have allowed us to adopt a piece of Santa Monica Beach, Malibu and Venice/MDR.

  

• Wolf Sanctuary — Girls Only

  with Wolf Connection

  Sorry boys, this one was girls only too! The ladies showed up in full force to help Wolf Connection clear branches to create a proper and safe hiking path for the wolves.

  

• Wolf Sanctuary — Removing Foxtails

  with Wolf Connection

  We are helping the Wolf Sanctuary remove foxtails from within the wolves’ enclosures. Afterwards we were able to meet the wolves and receive their affection.

  

• Getting Warm n Fuzzy with Friends

  with Farm Sanctuary

  Farm Sanctuary strives to educate through compassion and facts about the mistreatment of our animals in the meat and dairy industry. We brought a group of open hearts to learn and connect with these fuzzy friends that all need our help.

  

• 2017

  Fire Relief

  with Humane Society Ventura County

  From The Heart Tribe was getting calls and texts asking where to help out during the fires of 2017. We decided we had to do something, so last minute we put up a post with information on how to help out some of the animals who were displaced. A few of us jumped in our cars and drove up to Ventura County to help out at the Humane Society.

  

• Documentary Screenings

  Good for the mind, good for the soul. We love to come together to watch documentaries that highlight issues regarding our world. Our events foster an atmosphere of openness, and allow everyone to freely discuss.
