Stress is everywhere. Connection is the cure.

Upward Together is your trusted creative partner in wellness, offering creative nervous system regulation through art and mindfulness. Based in Los Angeles, we work across schools, workplaces, and community spaces to support emotional wellbeing in a world shaped by stress and constant demand.

Through our Calm Class platform, we extend this work into the classroom—bringing simple, daily regulation practices into the school day through a scalable, teacher-facing tool that supports both students and educators.

Like ancient Sequoias that have thrived for over 3,000 years by growing together, the strongest communities build resilience through a sense of belonging and shared practice. 

Our process-over-product philosophy transforms art into a form of meditation. Each session offers a space for emotional regulation, creativity, and connection. 

Through a culture of calm, we offer a comprehensive range of programming—from weekly sessions to seasonal retreats—creating a consistent rhythm of support and creativity for participants in Los Angeles and virtually.
