Meetup for Racial Justice- Kemetic Yoga Hosted by ASCENDtials, RiseupSandiego, Nigel Zuniga
2022-07-31 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | WorldBeat Cultural Center, 2100 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA, 92101, United States
Kemetic Yoga is an ancient African Yoga art form that promotes African philosophy and practices that originated from the land of Kemet. This ancient Yoga art form emphasizes the rejuvenation of the body and mind as it attempts to provide BIPOC communities with cultural roots that stem from its antique African origins.-Y.R.H.
Our goal is to encourage participants to explore KOS-Melanin-ology™ for a stronger KNOWLEDGE OF SELF as a form of self-healing so that we may transform structures that prevent change. Many factors contribute to keeping structures in place. Our health, habits, and conditioning contribute to improper thinking and lack of awareness, but our ancestors designed a system that aids in understanding our body, mind, and breath through practice. We aim to get “straight” by embracing Ancient thoughts from our ancestors that we may become more aware of ourselves internally and externally in the detection of obstacles to our development. This program will also help to support our growing organization and mission.

KOSMelaninology ™ (Knowledge Of Self and the study of Melanin) BOOK CLUB
2022-06-23 12:00 - 13:00 | California
An event that will explore different topics related to Melanin and its benefits
About this event
With the topic of Mental health always in the news and its stigma gripping nations, we all must gain a better understanding of what our education has taught us or not taught us about our own mental health. We as Blacks, are affected immensely by not knowing ourselves and not understanding how to manage our overall health. Knowing thy Self and understanding the role of Melanin in our lives is certainly part of that. To reject the knowledge and application of tools our ancient ancestors left for us is in itself anti-blackness and signals great alarm. We aren’t all the same, and the fact that we’ve behaved the way we do, has caused great detriment to our health. I’m of the opinion that we must take greater control over “knowing thyself” which is written above many structures in ancient Kemet, and we want to embrace this wisdom of our ancestors, so that we might save ourselves from our current identity crisis and downward slope of “whiteness”. We want people to be able to understand the purpose of this melanin on the outer core of the skin, so as to inspire those who cannot pass as white, to reidentify with what “black” always is and has been (despite the propaganda that has everyone buying and drinking the Kool-Aid) and know that is a powerful conductor of energy, that needs to be harnessed properly or risk calcification and the ability to connect with our spiritual selves. If you need answers, you’ll surely find them here.
