RECIPE FOR COMMUNITY
ANCESTRAL INTELLIGENCE
A COMMUNITY MARKET + EXPERIENCE
Saturday, October 31, 2026
11 AM–8 PM
Recipe Oak Cliff | Dallas, TX
Community doesn’t just happen. We make it.
Recipe for Community is a community market + experience bringing together food, local vendors, music, art, wellness, performance, creativity, conversation, and human connection.
Come for Kemetic Yoga and stay for the day. Grab some food. Shop local vendors. Plant a seed. Make something. Hear a performance. Learn something new. Meet somebody. Listen to some good music. Have a conversation. Or simply spend some time in community.
THIS MONTH’S THEME: ANCESTRAL INTELLIGENCE
What do we know because of those who came before us?
What wisdom lives in our bodies, our stories, our traditions, our food, our music, and our relationship with the Earth?
This month, we're gathering to celebrate ancestral intelligence: the knowledge, creativity, traditions, and wisdom passed from one generation to the next.
Through music, movement, storytelling, plants, creativity, and conversation, we'll explore what we've inherited, what we've forgotten, and what we want to preserve and pass on.
WHAT TO EXPERIENCE
🌱 Seed Planting + Plant Wisdom
Get your hands in the soil! Plant seeds from and take home something to nurture and grow.
🎶 Stevie Wonder: Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants
Join us for a featured listening experience celebrating Stevie Wonder's Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants, an extraordinary musical exploration of nature, life, and humanity's relationship with the living world.
We'll also share selected readings from The Secret Life of Plants, connecting music, plant wisdom, and conversation. Attendees will have opportunities to win copies of the book.

Our elders are living libraries. Gather for intergenerational storytelling, elder conversations, and the sharing of ancestral knowledge, cultural traditions, local history, and community wisdom.
