This June, join thousands of people across North and Latin America, in over 60 cities, and walk to raise awareness for Save Soil. The next decade is our chance to overcome the soil crisis, and we can do it. Let us walk together to save soil.

• 52% of the world's cultivatable soil is degraded
• Over 2 billion people suffer from nutritional imbalances
• A tablespoon of soil contains more microbes than there are humans on the planet.

Our future, our children’s future, and this planet’s future very much depend on soil health.

Music guest and speakers:

Sounds of Isha( Bay Area Chapter)

Sounds of Isha is Sadhguru's own home grown, anomalous group of 'musicians' - inspired by their deep yearning and sense of gratitude. Dabbling with and melting into their instruments, their work is a subtle fusion of the rich and diverse beings that they are. Their melodies are a fusion of music from different parts of the world - traversing effortlessly and seamlessly across boundaries and cultures. Whilst the music of these songs sooth our minds and the melodies enthrall us, the true potential of the songs is in their capability to instill in us an element of the eternal silence that touches the core of the human being. The performances of Sounds of Isha are set apart to deliver a potent and intoxicating ethereal concoction, transporting those who listen into subtler states of being - becoming the basis for inner exploration.
