​🍲Event Details:

​Part I: Workshop

​Food is more than sustenance—it is a medium for healing, belonging, and systemic transformation. This workshop will explore food sovereignty as a practice of reclamation, addressing historical and cultural disconnections while equipping attendees with tools for change. The session will weave together storytelling, innovation, gamification, and trauma healing, building on Jahnavi’s work in From Soil to Soul and Marilyn’s book Belonging: A Mini Memoir on Displaced Indigeneity and Allegiance to Ma Earth. 

​The workshop is led by Jahnavi Mange, Co-Founder, Regenerative Design Strategist, and Storyteller of From Soil to Soul; and Marilyn Cornelius, PhD, Author, and Founder of Alchemus Prime.

​Part II: Community Meal

​A community dinner crafted by Chef Crystal (Kickapoo Nation of Oklahoma), the Owner and Executive Chef of Wahpepah’s Kitchen in Oakland, CA. Crystal understands the deep and powerful role that food has in our lives and uses it as a bridge to connect others with Native issues that are important to her and Wahpepah’s Kitchen. By acknowledging the Indigenous inhabitants of the land upon which we currently live, we acknowledge and reclaim Native food ways. Through this connection, Crystal is then able to educate others on the health benefits of Indigenous foods through the knowledge that has been passed to her.

​🌱About the organizers:

​From Soil to Soul is an action-oriented documentary series and community initiative that amplifies the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers, thought leaders, regenerative practitioners, and food activists. Our mission is to inspire a global shift towards food sovereignty, reconnecting people with food and land while promoting climate resilience and systemic transformation. By blending storytelling with grassroots collaboration, the series provides a roadmap for creating equitable and sustainable food systems using regenerative practices and youth empowerment. 

Alchemus Prime facilitates solutions that bridge disciplines, silos, and hierarchies, while fostering play and innovation. We bring curiosity, creativity, and a holistic approach to all our work. All our services form a system that contains mutually reinforcing parts: behavior change, stress reduction and dietary improvement, generatively designing new solutions, and learning from nature.

Wahpepah's Kitchen aims to transform the future of food systems by using an Indigenous Food Sovereignty model that honors the origins, land, and Indigenous connection to each ingredient by cultivating and sustaining connections to Indigenous farmers and land stewards. The goals are reclamation, transformation and sustained changes to food systems that reflect rich, nourishing, and vibrant Indigenous foodways right in Oakland, California and beyond.
