Programs & Events
We host programs and events that teach, engage, and create change. Learn something new at one of our literacy workshops, buy locally grown produce and handmade crafts at our Farmers' Markets, or help us reduce environmental pollution at one of our highway clean-ups. There are so many ways to get involved!

At ASCENDtials, we recognize that the current education system fails to equip individuals with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to overcome systemic issues of racism and inequality. Our unique curriculum, Designing from Whiteness to Oneness™, shifts the focus toward empowering Black communities through dialogue and discussion. We host workshops covering topics of civic, environmental, financial, cosmic, and spiritual literacy for participants of all ages. Through education, we can create change.
