We walk to heal, we connect to grow.
Raíces Movement is a bilingual walking community rooted in wellness, connection, and reflection. This is a space where we share knowledge, honor each other's wisdom, and each decide what we want to apply to our own lives. Connection to ourselves, to each other, and to nature.
Este es un espacio donde compartimos conocimiento, honramos la sabiduría de cada quien, y cada uno decide qué quiere aplicar en su propia vida. Conexión con nosotros mismos, con los demás y con la naturaleza.
Built from within.
We knew the power of friendship. We knew the power of creating something rooted in love. What we needed was a space that could hold all of us — our families, our languages, our bodies, our paces. So we built it.
We brought to life the space we needed — to honor ourselves, to honor our lineage, and to welcome anyone who feels called to join.
Dimos vida al espacio que necesitábamos — para honrarnos a nosotras mismas, honrar a nuestros antepasados, y dar la bienvenida a quien se sienta llamado a unirse.
We gather on the ancestral lands of the Gabrielino-Tongva people. We honor their care for this land — past, present, and future. As we begin the Spring Equinox, may we walk with gratitude, awareness, and care.
Nos reunimos en las tierras ancestrales del pueblo Gabrielino-Tongva. Honramos su cuidado de esta tierra — pasado, presente y futuro. Al iniciar este Equinoccio de Primavera, caminemos con gratitud, conciencia y cuidado.

La Mirada Creek Park is a green space centered around La Mirada Creek. The 0.9-mile loop wraps the park's perimeter with two scenic bridges. Mostly gentle with some moderate sections, 32ft elevation gain, and 30–60 min estimated. Benches along the path for rest. Restrooms and water fountains near the trailhead.
Multiple entry points around the loop — from Santa Gertrudes, Stamy Rd, Kibbee Ave, and Golden Lantern Ln — so you can start where it makes the most sense for your body. We are still learning the path together and will share more details as we go.

Shared wisdom, shared healing.
Four times a year — one each season — we gather after the walk for a community offering. Aligned with the cycles of the earth, each gathering is led by a rotating facilitator from within the circle: a neighbor, healer, artist, or storyteller offering their gifts.
Offerings from the Circle
Herbal & ancestral wisdom · Somatic grounding · Creative expression · Emotional wellness · Mindfulness & atención plena · Pláticas

0.9-mile paved loop, mostly gentle with some moderate sections. At least 3ft wide. Benches along the path for rest. Restrooms and water fountains near the trailhead.
Mostly accessible for strollers, wheelchairs, and mobility equipment. Step down at mile 0.4 and stairs near mile 0.9 can be bypassed or turned around — the loop always brings you back to the start.
Significant sun exposure on the trail. Shade trees present but limited. Always bring water — fountains near the trailhead. Hats and sunscreen strongly recommended.
We walk a closed loop with no traffic — everyone finds their own pace and naturally returns to the circle. Walk alone, in pairs, or with the group. You always come back. 🌿
Rain or Shine. Extreme heat (95°F+) or lightning: shortened shaded gathering or reschedule via community chat. Safety always comes first.
Multiple entry points around the loop — choose what works best for your body. Main lot at 12021 Santa Gertrudes Ave. Additional access at 15392 Stamy Rd and Kibbee Ave & Golden Lantern Ln. More details coming as we learn the path together.
