2025 Santa Ynez Ranch Retreat • Songwriting with Heroes

911 Project Harmony brings together first responders impacted by the 2025 Los Angeles Fire Disaster and songwriters to transform trauma into art.

In this retreat first responders and songwriters co-create original music based on their lived experiences. These journeys are documented to share the impact of trauma-informed care, culminating in a film that offers a glimpse into the hearts of first responders.

This weekend will transform lives and offer tools for reflection, healing, and hope.
