Black Bodies Can't Do it Alone -
(Hue) mans fighting for Humans

At ASCENDtials, we believe the current education system sustains systemic racism and oppressive structures. We've worked to develop a teaching curriculum, for all ages, that offers alternative methods of thinking. We teach this curriculum through literacy workshops, retreats, yoga sessions, healing sessions, and environmental programs.

Designing From Whiteness to Oneness™

Designing From Whiteness to Oneness™ is the core of our curriculum. It is an exploration, understanding, and analysis of oppressive structures, while simultaneously developing new ways of thinking that challenge them. We want learners to critically, cosmically, and consciously engage in dialogue centered around Blackness.

These modules will be offered as an online, self-study option. There will be four 20-minute modules. If you'd like to learn more, or would like to be contacted when these modules are available, let us know here. This course will be available in April!

Night Sky Youth Camp at Oakoasis

A Monthly Overnight Experience for Youth, Rooted in Nature, Story, Movement & Ancestral Sky Knowledge

Welcome to Ascendtials’ Night Sky Youth Camp, a monthly overnight immersion at Oakoasis County Preserve designed for student groups seeking connection, culture, and adventure. Under the open sky, youth explore Kemetic constellations, hike through native habitats, drum around the fire, practice yoga, hear stories from community elders, and greet the morning with movement and sound healing.

This is a curriculum-based overnight program that blends cultural astronomy, ecology, wellness, and community-building.
