The ASCEND to Kemet Festival is coming up this Saturday on April 20th at the Black’s Beach in La Jolla.The ASCEND to Kemet Festival will highlight the wisdom of our ancestors in the land of Kemet. The festival will promote Kemetic culture through music, art, poetry and yoga sessions on this ancient wisdom.
This event is set to be an extraordinary celebration that not only honors the insights of our forebears but also pays tribute to the cultural richness and warm hospitality of San Diego. Beyond the creative endeavors, our festival strongly emphasizes environmental consciousness, underscoring the significance of climate, nature, and overall well-being through the lens of our ancestors. This profound connection to our heritage inspires our expert-led sessions, featuring a seasoned Kemetic Yoga teacher and healer, talented poets/performers, and skilled artists.

Learning Sessions
Learning Sessions
Learning Sessions serve as mini tutorials about tasks or procedures that teammates need to understand to fulfill their responsibilities. Any staff member may suggest a topic for a Learning Session. Each team is responsible for conducting at least one session a month during their team meeting or an all-staff meeting, whichever is appropriate. Sessions will occur only during regularly scheduled meetings to avoid creating additional time commitments. The sessions should last about five to seven minutes. No more than six sessions a month should be offered.
