This Shape Change Weekend is for our joy, our blessing, and our communal calling to create and build the world that we all need.
About this Event

As we continue to move through this era and Age of Aquarius, we know we must prioritize our collective survival, healing, liberation, and thriving. We have the tools, when we align with and stand in Spirit, to learn from our past and shape our present and our future. Sankofa. When we understand our interconnections and interdependence, we have the power to shape change. Ubuntu.

This Shape Change Weekend is for our joy and our blessing! It is an opportunity for us to step into our communal calling to create and build the world that we and our descendents need. We will celebrate and honor some of our incredible teachers, learn more about Land Based Jawns, and enjoy intentionally curated dishes of the diaspora. Our silent auction will feature goods and services such as private dinners, self-defense lessons, go/grow bags, herbal medicines, and more.

The Gala will be held on Friday, September 19th at Awbury Arboretum. This Spirit-led affair will feature live music, poetry, and dance. Come adorned in outfits or costumes that embody what you believe it means to Shape Change. We especially appreciate earthy, floral, cosmic, and ethereal elements.

What are we fundraising for?

We have some big dreams and hopes to 1) secure land and space to grow, 2) host a fourth Earthseed Skillshare, and 3) evolve and expand Land Based Jawns educational offerings. To do so, our initial goal is to raise $500,000. Can we shape change together? Will you eat, dance, dream, and build with us? Join us as we lean into our joy and celebration.
