Returning to Our Ancestral Knowing with Mika Marzette of The Ascendtials

Over time + through oppressive systemic change, we lost our innate connection with our ancestral roots of healing, natural movement, nurturing our land + organically feeding our bodies.

The mission of The Ascendtials, a San Diego-based nonprofit, is to empower BIPOC communities via their own ancestral wellness practices: Kemetic yoga, organic gardening, financial literacy, community connection + spiritual healing sessions.

In this week's episode, Mika Marzette, Founder + CEO of The Ascendtials discusses:

• the educational gaps in our society that led to the foundation of The Ascendtials
• Kemetic Yoga - what it is + where it comes from
• how yoga can lead to self-empowerment + help transform our entire community
• the need for inclusive dialogue + listening to our indigenous leaders to help heal our planet + our communities
• how you can get involved in transforming + supporting our local communities through ancestral wellness practices
