Immerse yourself in a diverse array of captivating workshops at our ASCEND to Kemet Fest, where we will delve into Kemetic Yoga, poetry, and artistic expression. The workshops will range from 20 to 40 minutes and center on holistic thinking, familial values, and knowledge of self–the core tenets of this vibrant culture. Beyond creative endeavors, the ASCEND to Kemet Fest strongly emphasizes environmental consciousness through the lens of our ancestors, underscoring the significance of climate, nature, and overall well-being. Additionally, we will feature foods from the Diaspora from East and West Africa, dance, drums, and an array of artisan vendors and performers. All registration/ticketing fees will be used to pay for the fees of the fest and create job assistance, internships for the youth, and a safer, communicative environment, with fun for all families, with fresh foods, and low-cost entertainment.
