Our Art in Nature series continues with the work of vocalist Odeya Nini. Join us as we explore her sounding practice that frequently takes her into natural landscapes.

Odeya Nini is a Los Angeles based interdisciplinary vocalist, composer, vocal embodiment coach and sound meditation practitioner. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur.

She has performed internationally from concert halls to caves and is a member of the 3 time Grammy nominated ensemble Wild Up. Her album ODE was recognized by The New Yorker Magazine as a notable recording of 2022 . She is the founder of Free The Voice and leads vocal sound meditations, workshops and retreats exploring the transformative and healing qualities of embodying the voice. See her work and sign up for her workshops at www.odeyanini.com

The Angeles Chapter is proud to explore the work of artists who practice in, are inspired by, and collaborate with nature. Join us as we learn about their practices and remind ourselves why protecting our environment is so important.

The Activist Academy is a climate and environmental justice leadership program for young people 18 to 35 who are advancing their impact on local conservation issues. Participants gain fundamental campaign planning and community organizing skills, amplify their relationship building tools, and make connections with peers and environmental leaders.  

Many of the Academy graduates have become leaders and mentors in conservation organizations including the Sierra Club and many are able to use this educational program to build viable careers in the field.

The Angeles Chapter prioritizes accepting participants who are living in communities that are most harmed by poor air quality (including due to pollution from freeways and warehouses), are park-poor, and are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

The Angeles Chapter takes an inclusive approach to recruitment and largely eliminates cost and location as barriers. Registration is free and the Angeles Chapter offers stipends to participants to offset the burden of cost on their time, transportation, childcare, and missed school or work.
