Led by People’s Kitchen Collective and rooted in Octavia E. Butler’s Parables series, the legacy of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, and the diaspora of the global south, EARTH SEED centers a pilgrimage through California from present-day Los Angeles to Mendocino Woodlands, visiting people and places building models for survival and our collective future.

Enjoy a meal from Pure Soul Vegan with us as we screen the film and host a community conversation with local food justice orgs on lessons to take with us. Free to attend with RSVP, masks required and provided.

In our final Sunday Service, we turn toward the visionary brilliance of Octavia E. Butler: speculative fiction writer, Afrofuturist oracle, and architect of imagined worlds rooted in transformation. Her Earthseed series taught us that “God is Change,” and that adaptation, vision, and community are our greatest tools in shaping the future.

This gathering invites us to close the year with reflection, ritual, and radical hope. Together, we’ll explore the power of imagining beyond the limits of the present—planting new seeds for the worlds we are building. With readings, grounding practices, and shared conversation, we’ll honor Butler’s legacy as a prophet of possibility and draw on her wisdom to guide us into a new chapter.

Come rest, imagine, and remember:
“All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you.”

This 12 week class blends breath‑led, gentle flow with slow, supported deep stretches. Designed for all levels, offering variations so you can move with confidence, strengthen your foundation and meet yourself where you are.

Class begins with breathwork to invite awareness, slow gentle deep stretches and gradually builds up to soft, flowing sequence where each movement is guided by breath then settling into longer-held, resting poses.

This month, Sunday Service honors the life, legacy, and living wisdom of Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray: poet, priest, lawyer, and architect of liberation. In collaboration with the Pauli Murray Center, we invite you into a sacred reflection on Murray’s lifelong commitment to justice, and their powerful refusal to be defined by the constraints of the world they inherited.

Born in Durham, Pauli Murray spent a lifetime challenging the systems that sought to erase them. From pioneering legal strategies that laid the groundwork for civil rights victories to becoming the first Black person assigned female at birth to be ordained in the Episcopal Church, Murray’s journey is one of prophetic courage, complexity, and devotion to truth.

Together, we will explore the theme of naming - how we name ourselves, our struggles, and the futures we long for. Through storytelling, spiritual grounding, and collective honoring, we will trace the ripple effects of Pauli’s work and reflect on how we too can be visionaries of a freer world.

Join us in lifting up a hometown ancestor whose life continues to shape what is possible.

Join us for a soul-stirring Sunday Service celebrating the legacy of Katherine Dunham: dancer, anthropologist, choreographer, and revolutionary artist. Guided by the wisdom of Dunham’s radical kinesthetic practice, artist and healer Ifasina Clear will lead us through a reflection on the body as an archive, a site of resistance, and a vessel of transformation.

Katherine Dunham was not only one of the most influential dancers of the 20th century, but also a cultural worker who deeply understood the political power of movement. She preserved Afro-Caribbean and diasporic traditions through her technique, research, and choreographic work, refusing to sever art from its spiritual and historical roots.

Through somatic practice, music, and ritual, we will explore what it means to reclaim joy and move together toward liberation.

This offering is part of our ongoing Sunday Service series at NorthStar, where we draw wisdom from revolutionary ancestors to imagine freer futures.
