When it comes down to it, we really don't spend much time taking care our beautiful Mother Earth, while our own carbon footprints are screwing us over in the long run. That's why sustainability collective Soul Mind Vibe brings seasonal pop-up events that bring environmental consciousness, music and food together to feed minds, bodies and souls while making an ecological impact. For their Summer Soulstice event, you can attend the beach clean-up at Bolsa Chica Interpretive Center, where DJs from electronic music collective GRN+GLD, Dank Radio and Blud Fiah mix beats while you beautify OC's wetlands. And come out to the Beat Therapy and Bonfire BBQ at Bolsa Chica State Beach for an open mic showcase and jam session while you chomp on some grilled meats. And true to the mission of SMV, admission is pay-what-you-can. No excuse to miss out on saving the Earth now.
