About us
The Pan Pacific Pagans and Radical Faeries are closely linked spiritual communities in Los Angeles that center on queer consciousness, nature-based spirituality, and radical self-expression.
Pan Pacific Pagans is a community of nature-oriented, queer, and non-binary individuals who congregate in and around Pan Pacific Park in Los Angeles.
The Grove and The Coven Network (also referred to as The Grove Coven Network) is an online resource and community hub for Neo-Pagan organizations and individuals in Los Angeles and Southern California.
As of January 2026, the network serves several key functions:
- Organizing Hub: It provides platforms for cross-over promotions between likeminded spiritual, nature-oriented, and queer-friendly organizations, such as the Pan Pacific Pagans and Radical Faeries.
- Resource Center: The network hosts online resources for local practitioners and maintains communication channels via Instagram and WhatsApp to coordinate events and share insights with organizers both locally and from out of state.
- Affiliated Groups: It is closely associated with the Coven of the Grove and the Solitary Mystics, which has historically held popular free Thoth Tarot and occult classes, as well as ritual circles for Esbats and Sabbats at Pan Pacific Park.
The network emphasizes values of shared growth, seasonal celebrations, and connection with the cycles of nature, often operating in a "loose though tight-knit" manner to welcome newcomers into the local occult and pagan scenes.

Weaving Our Voices and Music into Shared Community
Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Creators,
The Pan Pacific Pagans and Radical Faeries of Los Angeles are excited to highlight an incredible opportunity for harmony, collaboration, and collective joy.
The Unitarian Universalist Church of Los Angeles anchors a stellar music program led by Nathan Fratzke, Travis Reynolds, Carrick McCullough, and a host of talented performers.
Every Wednesday evening from 6:30 PM until 9:15 PM, the church opens its doors for a dynamic jam group and an inspiring series of choir sessions.
We believe this welcoming, creative environment serves as the ideal collaborative space for our communities to unite.
Music has a unique power to bridge traditions, heal spirits, and build collective strength.
By bringing the vibrant voices, unique instruments, and musical talents of the Pan Pacific Pagans and Radical Faeries into this existing circle, we can uplift one another and create a larger, greater communal purpose together.
Whether you are a seasoned musician, a shower singer, or simply looking to find your rhythm in a supportive environment, you are warmly invited to take a seat and join the song.
How to Get Involved:
If you feel called to this collaboration, or if you are interested in joining the Wednesday night UU jam group and choir sessions, please reach out to us directly or contact the church administrators to get connected.
Let's make some noise, build some magick, and sing our community forward.
In harmony,
The Pan Pacific Pagans & Radical Faeries of Los Angeles

Pan Pacific Park Circle
Pan Pacific Park, 7600 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036, USA, Los Angeles, CA, USOur Open Invitation to the Neighbors and Friends of Pan Pacific Park
Blessed Be, Neighbors and Seekers!
The Pan Pacific Pagans and the Radical Faeries of Los Angeles extend our hearts and hands to everyone who shares the soil, the shade, and the spirit of our neighborhood.
We invite all locals, neighbors, and wanderers to gather, connect, and re-enchant our beloved community commons at Pan Pacific Park.
🌿 Reclaiming Our Shared Soil: The Power of Public & Third Spaces
In a world increasingly dominated by private screens and commercial venues, true public spaces and "third spaces"—places outside of home and work where we can just be together without a price tag—are vital to our collective well-being.
Pan Pacific Park is a living sanctuary for outdoor recreation, mental respite, and intentional community building. It belongs to all of us. Let’s breathe life back into our shared commons!
🚶♀️ Ritualize the Route
We invite you to transform a simple walk into an act of mindful connection. Next time you tread the 1.1-mile perimeter loop, we challenge you to ritualize the walking route:
- Feel the pulse of the earth beneath the paved concrete.
- Give thanks to the ancient trees that offer us shade.
- Wave to your neighbors and weave a web of local visibility, safety, and mutual care.
📚 Gather and Ghost: Host Your Own Events
Let’s make the park a buzzing hub of culture and learning!
We encourage you to bring your passions into the open air.
Consider hosting your own book clubs, discussion circles, crafting groups, or wellness workshops right here on the grass.
Need inspiration? Look no further than the Grove Coven, who have beautifully modeled how to hold space under the open sky, turning shaded picnic tables into classrooms and circles of deep connection.
🌞 Aligning with the Earth: Wheel of the Year Observances
As earth-centered folks, we believe in honoring the natural rhythms of our environment.
Pan Pacific Park is the perfect backdrop for Wheel of the Year observances—from the high sun of the Solstices to the deep balance of the Equinoxes.
Marking the changing seasons together outdoors roots us to the land we inhabit and to one another.
✨ Manifesting a Dream: A Pan Pacific Pagan Pride Festival
By showing up, occupying our public parks with joy, and celebrating our diverse paths, we build the foundation for something even greater. Our ultimate vision is to manifest an annual Pagan Pride Festival right here at Pan Pacific Park—a vibrant, public celebration of magic, music, community, and local earth-stewardship.
But every great forest begins with a single seed. Come sit with us, walk with us, and help us dream this space into its highest potential.

How to connect: Bring a blanket, bring a friend, bring an open mind, and we'll see you on the loop!

The primary walking route at Pan Pacific Park in Los Angeles is the Pan Pacific Park Trail, a 1.1-mile loop that wraps around the outer perimeter of the 28-acre grounds.
It is a highly accessible, paved concrete, and partially paved path that takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes to walk at a casual pace.
Route Overview & Amenities
- Distance: 1.1 miles (approx. 2,500 steps)
- Terrain: Easy, flat-to-gentle rolling slopes with wide paths.
- Shade: The route features excellent tree-lined sections providing cool shade, making it comfortable even during midday.
- Dog-Friendly: Dogs are entirely welcome but must remain on a leash.
- Park Features Along the Way: As you follow the circular perimeter, the loop passes the public library, sports fields (baseball, soccer, and basketball courts), and shaded picnic tables. It also runs right alongside the newly expanded campus of the Holocaust Museum LA.
Extended Route Option
If you want to stretch your steps beyond the park itself, the loop seamlessly connects with the adjacent neighborhood landmarks.
You can easily walk right out of the east side of the park, directly into the pedestrian paths of The Grove and the historic Original Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax to grab a bite or extend your distance.
