Lace up your hiking shoes & we’ll see you atop David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive!
Once a month we gather with our local heroic environmental stewards of TreePeople to love on live music and hot tea along a ridge trail of the Santa Monica Mountains. Once we’ve held time together to share in meaningful art, warm tea, (sometimes) a sunset, and good conversation, TreePeople’s eco educators then split us into three different hiking groups for peoples of all ages and abilities to learn more about the native ecology and history of these mountains.
To settle into this season of long nights, we’ve invited our friends and gentle music aficionados soft future to nourish our spirits with their dulcet tones. A fluid and mesmerizing project of Lani Trock and David Moses, soft future is improvisatory in nature and sure to soundtrack a most loving of moonrises for us this evening that we can’t wait to inhabit together.
Bring a blanket, pour some tea, and bliss in.
Check-in begins at 6:30pm, music shortly after 7pm, and we split into our hiking groups promptly at 8pm. Parking is limited so we ask that you please rsvp with us in advance.

soft future is an ephemeral music collective stewarded by Lani Trock and David Moses. The group's central intention is to transcend limits and touch spirit. Their performances are improvisational, multi-sensory journeys, activating the language of music as a transmitter of universal consciousness. Often participatory in nature, their work invites audience members to co-create together, opening portals to imaginal worlds and new dimensions.
Born in 1973 from the hopes and dreams of a teenager, TreePeople is now one of the largest environmental organizations headquartered in Southern California.
They have inspired, engaged, and supported more than 3 million people to take action for our environment by planting and caring for more than 3 million trees in our local forests, mountains, parks, and our neighborhoods. Through on-the-ground research and educational programs, TreePeople shares knowledge with policymakers, students, educators, and communities around the world.
After fires burn, TreePeople reforests. When schools are covered in concrete, TreePeople creates green schoolyards. When communities experience food insecurity, TreePeople distributes fruit trees. When California is drought-stricken, TreePeople designs solutions to capture rainwater. As the world faces increasing threats from a more hostile climate, TreePeople helps create actionable solutions.
