Call-and-response with Culture Kinesis

Join Culture Kinesis and our dynamic community of Black women for a monthly, virtual session dedicated to witnessing, truth-telling, and reflection.

Along our collective journey, we identify the impact of society's harmful ideologies, collaborate to remove their residue, and chart a path toward liberation.

This space is facilitated by Rachel Wyley, Culture Alchemist, CEO + Founder of Culture Kinesis.

  • UNLEARN (February-April): Fulfilling our respective legacies requires that we unlearn the non-native ideologies that we have been indoctrinated into. In our first quarter, we will embrace unlearning as a critical component of individual and collective recovery.

    EXCAVATE (May-July): The process of excavating something involves careful and systematic removal of that which covers or impedes it. In our second quarter, we will focus on excavating our most authentic selves and granting those selves permission to lead.

    REIMAGINE + ALCHEMIZE (August-October): We can unwittingly become double agents for oppressive ideologies if we do not create countercultures. The "countering" process requires deep creativity. In our third quarter, we will become (re)acquainted with our innate selves and leverage them to reimagine a better future.

    The Call-and-response team takes a hiatus each year from November through January.

  • “Rachel’s framework is straightforward, empowering, and applicable to so many aspects of life. I’ve never felt more connected to people I’ve just met, and on Zoom no less. This space is a must if you are looking for community, support, and growth to live a more authentic and purpose-driven life.” -S.R.

    “Call-and-response is an intentional, conscious, safe space where you can show up and be welcomed as you are. As a Black woman navigating the intersectionalities of life, I am grateful to have been welcomed to a space that sees me, heals me and uplifts me when I need it most. Every woman of color deserves to experience [this]!” -K.B.

    “Call-and-response sessions with Rachel have been a transformative and powerfully inspiring experience. Grounding and musing over shared growth plans with fellow Black women continues to be a remarkable and vital tool for my personal and community development.” -C.W.

When Black women convene, magic abounds.

As we prepare to be our most well and most liberated selves, we must center ourselves in ways that our mothers, our grandmothers, our ancestors could not always. Take three minutes to learn more about Call-and-response’s evolution and 2023 relaunch.
