Often times, surviving this world feels as if we are being forced to dim our light. That in order to fit in, we are told to hide essential parts of ourselves that do not fit the status quo. Or we are convinced that we must obey and submit to oppressive systems, at the cost of our authenticity, dignity, and integrity.

But, our light is a sacred part of who we are because it guides us back to our true selves, and is also a beacon to others. Our light shares and shows our spirit, soul, and humanity.

The Unlearning Community School wants to witness and spread your light with you. We want to illuminate one another, so the path to collective liberation becomes brighter.

"Spread Your Light!" is our next Unlearning Series event, as well as collaboration and grand opening of Spread Your Light Studios - an accessible community space in Downtown Oakland for events, workshops, and creative projects.

Meet us at Spread Your Light Studios on Sunday, January 19th, 2025, from 2pm-5pm at 339 15th St, Oakland, CA 94612.

Tickets are $35 sliding scale - proceeds will be shared with Spread Your Light Studios and the Unlearn Team as they build new offerings for our community in 2025. Register here

We have limited free tickets for artists, creatives, and makers who want to 'Share Your Light' during our Open Mic! This event is also a mixer to 'Connect Your Light' - meet, support, and link up with other artists, creatives, and makers during this event! The attire is cute and cozy! We will be serving teas, soups, and snacks! All participants will receive a goodie bag! Get ready to share your shiiiiine!
