Feast of the Deities
Summer 2022

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped create such a positive atmosphere. The experience was beautiful, healing, and crucial. Let's keep the momentum going. Note: this photo only captures a portion of those in attendance. There were so many divine spirits who came and each brought their own unique joy to the event. We're already looking forward to doing this again soon.

Feast of the Ancestors
Summer 2020

The Feast of the Ancestors was a healing ceremony honoring those who have passed away, hosted by a Sacred Drum Circle at the Cesar Chavez Solar Calendar. It served as a space to pay tribute to all those who transitioned in 2020 and prior. To see an article written about the event by the Park Administrators, click here.

Circle
Spring & Summer 2016

​
After frequenting the Ashby Drum Circle, Feq'ad (holding camera), Mesq'al (2nd to very left), and JR (extreme left) of the group decided to bring together a group of drummers and start playing by Lake Merritt. This led to the formation of the United Drum Circle, which brought the Lake Merritt community together through their drumming events. The group continues to thrive today under the name "Soul Beatz."
The Ethiopian Migration Project (2018)
In our excitement to share the realities of living in Ethiopia, we began a film project regarding our relocation from a Western Country to an African one. Immediately we faced issues producing content when it became clear stable access to WiFi with the capacity to upload videos was not an option. Since that time the project has remained dormant, but not forgotten.
