Dear Community,
I am writing to thank you for your role in bringing to life the concept known as Compound.After much reflection, given the unprecedented and challenging funding landscape for nonprofits, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our doors.Our final day of public operations will be August 18.
The community and individuals activating our mission Culture Shifts Consciousness have left an imprint on my heart forever. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has devoted their energy, livelihood, and passion to this mission.
I birthed the vision of Compound back in 2013, with a deep yearning to bring greater healing, transformation and personal growth to individuals living a human experience. We officially launched in 2020, during one of the most trying times in human history.
While this new model for social change and transformation within the art/culture and wellness spheres faced many challenges, we had the privilege of working with 382 beautiful partners in showing what authentic community building means, something that is real and full of truth. We are saddened to pause our upcoming exhibition and participation in Long Beach Gives through our IN/Sight fundraiser.We will make sure our artists work is placed in other art spaces to further their careers.
We love our community of Long Beach with big heart and soul. I know we are beyond deserving of this sanctuary and celebration of Long Beach’s true essence as the “international city of love.”
I will always be proud of this work, people’s contributions, and what this work meant during this moment in time. The love of this project will never stop for me. I hope that Compound will live on in the future in a different iteration one day.
With love and well-being,
Megan Tagliaferri, founder, Compound

Had the awesome opportunity yesterday to film and interview some of the founders, actors, and filmmakers at the @diy.filmfest 🎥✨ Huge thanks to @compoundlbc for hosting such a creative and inspiring space.
In our continued summer series, @zaireblack.focus reflects on summer’s high vibrations—the warmth that expands your heart and your abundance. He opens up about joy finding him after a tough childhood, how teaching became his blessing, and how Compound’s healing energy and love felt like home.
If you’re feeling called, he’ll be holding space for Inner Wisdom Breathwork at Compound tonight Aug 8 at 6pm. Bring your breath, your heart, and your summer light. 🌞🫶

When the world feels noisy, your breath is your sanctuary.
Meditation isn't about silencing your thoughts, it's about creating space between them. A few moments of stillness each day can reset your nervous system, clear your mind, and bring you back to the truth: you are already enough.
✨ Pro tip: Start your practice with one hand on your heart and one deep breath in. Let that breath remind you—you are safe, held, and supported.
At Compound, we believe wellness should feel like coming home to yourself. Offering meditation, movement, sound baths and more, our programs are designed to meet you where you are.
🌿 Come sit with us. Your peace is waiting.

What does summer taste like to you?Our resident ceramist, Beth Bowman of @bowman_ceramics, spends her days in Long Beach letting the ocean air and heat of the season harden each piece she creates: mugs and bowls that don't just hold food, but capture the feeling of summer in your hands.
This is just one glimpse of how our artists shape summer.
Follow along as more creators share what this season means to them—and maybe find your own spark of inspiration in their stories.
