Upcoming Events

ASCENDtials provides events and programs for our communities to equip them with tools and knowledge for societal change and awareness.

We are constantly updating our calendar with transformative events to help out community, and would love for you to join.

Featured Events

Kemetic yoga

Kemetic Yoga helps participants to identify with their ancestors and not be distorted by modern versions of yoga that don’t give the full representation of what yoga truly is. Now is the time to remember who you are. Our community has suffered trauma and conditioning, but we can thrive if we embrace what our ancestors left for us.

Everyone deserves fresh produce every day!

Our Programs

Workshops

From holding community events to providing learning sessions, ASCENDtials aims to improve society through our offerings. We provide tools for those wanting to overcome life’s obstacles.

Environmental Programs

ASCENDtials’ environmental programs have two objectives: bring awareness to current US farming systems and their role in depleting soil health and polluting water, and address individual practices that are holistic, and inform how we might embrace holistic thinking, so we can sustain a healthy environment and bodies.

Service Learning Program

ASCENDtials’ Unique Service Learning Program Offers Real-Time Volunteer and Internship Roles, Providing Students with Opportunities for the Practical Application of Knowledge that Heals. 

LEgal Aid Programs

 ASCENDtials’ Legal Support Program is committed to empowering BIPOC communities in San Diego by offering essential legal services. We welcome practicing lawyers and recent law graduates to volunteer, with a focus on criminal law, comprehensive legal support, and community engagement. Our program promotes professional growth through policy advocacy, mentorship, and pro bono services for startups and nonprofits. Join us in ensuring justice, educating the community, and addressing systemic challenges faced by underrepresented groups.

ARTS Science Consciousness Education Nature Development fellowship (ASCEND) program

Our fellowship program offers yearly up to 12 awardees from institutions across the US and internationally, to tell their story of struggle through the decolonization of ancient Kemet, as they see it, with purpose, through artful expression.

Women and Girls Program

Our programming provides women and girls right and left-minded tools to ensure synthesis, union, or global development of the brain. Our hope is that the more we define and understand our internal organs and external environment, from the male and female principle, this balance will ensure success.

Youth Programs

Our youth programs help give skill sets and knowledge to help youth be aware of their environment. We provide activities and events to guide the youth in expanding their knowledge of nature and the world around them to set them up for success.
