Livity Rising is a healing arts, community service organization committed to making Holistic Wellness Services accessible, equitable, and inclusive.

Livity is the life force that exists within and flows through all living things. Livity is a Rastafari concept meaning “lifestyle” or way of life. In the context of Livity Rising, it’s being open, connected, and creative with your life; the quest to live with reverent ingenuity and reciprocal blessings. A positive livity signifies living in harmony with self, community and nature in ways that support the health and wellbeing of the Earth and all life.

The impact of Reggae music and Rastafari have been an integral part of the lives of many of our team members. The sweet rhythms and powerful lyrics of Reggae music have uplifted, soothed and deeply inspired us. Reggae, which has deep roots in Rastafari spiritual beliefs and practices, spreads the message of “One Love,” unity and the need for humankind to dismantle oppressive systems across the globe.

CARE Clinics

CARE (Community Alliance for Resilience and Equity) is a collaborative project by three organizations — Livity Rising, Acupuncturists Without Boarders, and the Integrative Healers Action Network – whose partnership was forged helping California communities heal from the 2020 CZU fires.

Today, we bring our shared knowledge and experience directly to farmworkers and other vulnerable communities on the Central Coast who are affected by disasters, environmental devastation, poverty, and social injustice. We work alongside social and cultural organizations already rooted in these communities and show up consistently, so that families can receive care without fear.

CARE provides 3 monthly clinics offering acupuncture, massage, chiropractic care, nutrition, and self-care education. Our patients report a myriad of benefits including a notable reduction of pain, stress, anxiety and depression. In 2026, CARE reached a major milestone, delivering over 13,000 free treatments.

CARE also recently launched a three-year initiative for adults over 60, with the intention to reduce chronic pain, improve mobility, and support the overall well-being of highly vulnerable elders.

Our Response
to Systemic Racism:

Dear Community,

Our Livity Rising family feels deep grief over the many Black (and Brown) lives lost due to racial injustice. We stand in solidarity with the groundswell of action against racism and believe it is our duty to demand and work for systemic change to end the epidemic of racism and blatant inequality.

We strive to be part of the solution. We pledge to seek, learn, listen, and to rise up against systems of racism and injustice wherever we can. We must root out the deep unconscious racial bias and white supremacy that permeates our culture. We will support policies that help to eliminate racial inequality, speak up for and continue to be of service to those persecuted based on the color of their skin.

We acknowledge there is a lot of work to be done. We are inspired by the voices of change, and we join them in the hope of seeing racism totally eradicated. This time of crucial uprising deepens our commitment to our mission of making Holistic Wellness Services equitable and accessible to all members of the communities we serve.
