Collaboration:

This event is a collaboration between Negus In Nature and Touchstone Climbing Gyms, showcasing the power of community and inclusivity in the outdoors.

Eco-Afro Futures aims to spark creativity, collaboration, and grassroots action in Black, Indigenous, and communities of the global majority. Regardless of your level of environmental knowledge, your perspective and lived experiences are welcomed and valuable. We're beyond excited to be in community with you all to reimagine and build a world beyond our present constraints. A world free from extractive economies and oppressive systems. A world where all beings and ecosystems are honored and flourishing, and the collective liberation of all oppressed peoples is realized.

Reach Your Peak Climbing Series is a collaboration between Negus In Nature and Touchstone climbing facility. The goal of the series is to provide knowledge and guidance for up-and-coming climbing enthusiasts to help them get started on the wall. The series will utilize the Touchstone network of climbing gyms located in the Commercial Districts & Corridors to introduce people from historically underserved areas to the sport of climbing and encourage them to explore outdoor climbing as well.

This compelling documentary, produced by Langstyn Avery Williams, founder of Negus In Nature, in collaboration with Touchstone Climbing Gym and directed by Michael Alfonso and JP of Outpost Cinema, explores the transformative power of climbing and community. The story follows a Bay Area-based organization as they challenge traditional narratives of who belongs in the outdoors.

From climbing meet-ups in Oakland to an inspiring journey to the Ice Climbing Festival in Ouray, Colorado, the film showcases the resilience, passion, and commitment of a group redefining outdoor adventure. With breathtaking visuals and authentic storytelling, “Reaching New Heights” highlights the joy of climbing, the strength of community, and the importance of representation in outdoor spaces.

Step into another way of calming the mind through the body with Tai Chi! Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art and system of calisthenics, consisting of sequences of very slow and controlled movements. It has become my Art, my dance, my play, my practice, my WAY of life and I hope to pass these “physical prayers” of self-transformation onto opens hearts. - Santos Soul
