ASCENDtials is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit specializing in critical consciousness, by providing thoughtful holistic educative tools, resources, and training programs that prepare, are preventative, and instill and reinforce a deeper appreciation for self and community, a oneness that builds capacity, and environmental care. Since 2014, we have been committed to developing leaders who will chip away at the structures impeding progress to build more systems based on truth, and science, equitable, diverse, fair, and inclusive of communities that hold everyone accountable. We strongly believe in providing support by enhancing, emphasizing and reinforcing increased problem-solving skills, offering dialogical engagement within familial, academic, and community, and an ongoing relationship building with these parties to increase civic and social competency. The true intent is to bring about self-awareness and create technologies that are good and humane while sustaining constant collaboration with community businesses and leaders to strengthen and secure these ties.For more information, please contactAscendtialsat info@ascendtials.orgASCENDtials’ (pronounced Essentials) focus is on re-developing skills in problem-solving resulting from societal issues. And, Societal issues result from a system that imposes the Oppressor/Oppressed model and standard of life. This requires new thinking based on Knowing Thyself, knowing the true science of self, instilling and abiding by certain principles of nature to keep in balance with this knowledge to transform problem-solving abilities with Melanin in mind.For ASCENDtials, ascending with proper tools is an ancient African way of thinking, Knowing Thyself, following natural laws and maintaining balance, applying this knowledge, and transforming systems for the benefit of all. You can’t transform the problem if you don’t focus on the system at play, which itself is flawed.ASCENDtials has four fundamental goals:Focusing on structures that are oppressive by designBringing awareness of Knowing Thyself, thy purpose and place and science of scienceCreating/growing and maintain balance by adhering to and applying this knowledgeTransforming structures to ensure all are benefiting

Kemetic Yoga with ASCENDtials at Mt Hope Community Garden

Mt Hope Community Garden

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.Our instructor is Mika, who has been practicing yoga for over 25 years, but has recently sought Kemetic yoga as a means to connect with the ancestors as she has become more intentional and focused on increasing breath and decreasing blockages to remain in alignment and reach the next levels. Practice takes place at Mt Hope Community Garden for a special session. Please bring your mat, water, and towels. Experience healing on the spot with Mika and Monét while you enjoy the fresh farmers market. Enjoy this inviting community and get access to fresh food!First-time participants, please fill out our intake and waiver form here. https://tinyurl.com/yogaintakeform
