Let’s meet!
There is a lot going on in the world. We cannot do it all. Not to mention: the times are urgent… we must slow down. That being said, we would still like you to know about some of the electrifying, worlds-worlding, side-eye-glancing, upside-down and inside-out events and occurrences that ten is hosting, supporting or uplifting. Our events are at the top for ease of access to ten’s programming.

{ten Kinship Event}
WHO: Thriving Community

Belonging is a radical act in a divided world. When we gather in community and come together across our differences, something bigger becomes possible. Our shared stories, struggles and songs become the threads of a living tapestry, a web of healing resilience and social renewal. Rooted in love and connection, we become stronger, wiser, and more whole. We unlock the power to transform the world.
Join us in Oakland and by livestream for Thrive’s 10 Year Anniversary Celebration & Benefit Concert “Our Time to Thrive: Rising in Beloved Community” with special guests Fania Davis, john a. powell, Melanie DeMore, Kazu Haga and Wildchoir.

The Playgrounds
{ten Public Event}
WHO: The Emergence Network
WHEN: Monday, November 9th to Friday, December 4th 2026
WHERE: Online everywhere (with some self-organized in-person events)
What if we approached playfulness as a blossoming of microcosmic revolutions, and laughter as a defiant, political act? We might first need to turn toward the reality that, for many of us, play has become a wound and a risk. The Playgrounds is an invitation to gather and co-create in playful inquiry. This four-week online event (with some self-organized in-person gatherings) will convene a diverse menagerie of playmates – human and more-than – to plumb the depths of the ludic with us
Registration opens October 1, 2026.
