Our Circles

 
Cultural Arts Circle 


Where Creativity Meets Ancestral Wisdom
 

The UCI Cultural Arts Circle weaves together the ancient wisdom of our Afro-Indigenous ancestors with the healing power of creative expression. Through storytelling, music, dance, and art, we not only honor our roots but reimagine a future where humanity and the Earth thrive together. From the Ubuntu Arts showcase to powerful collaborations, we spark a resurgence of interdependence, joy, and regeneration—an invitation to all who seek to heal and transform through art.

 
Power Circle


Reimagining Power for the Collective Good

The UCI Power Circle envisions a future where power is shared, not hoarded—where communities reclaim stewardship of the land, water, air, and energy. Grounded in bioregional living and a commons-based approach, we champion policies and movements that lift up marginalized voices and hold systems accountable. Our vision is bold: a regenerative economy that nurtures people and planet, forging pathways to collective resilience and justice.

 
Education Circle


Knowledge as a Pathway to Transformation

The UCI Education Circle reclaims ancestral wisdom to empower communities with the tools to reshape our world. Rooted in Afro-Indigenous teachings, we believe education is a pathway to justice, resilience, and personal growth. Through workshops, learning exchanges, and storytelling, we plant the seeds for a future where climate and social justice are intertwined, cultivating leaders who honor the Earth and each other.
