Polarities: Rooted & Rising, Hosted by Frida People Collective

Join us for an evening of music, art, and community as we explore the beauty in duality grounding ourselves while continuing to rise in these current times of uncertainty and new beginnings.

Expect vibrant performances, intentional connection, and creative expression from artists who are rooted in culture, healing, and transformation.

This gathering is for the dreamers, the disruptors, the healers, and the creatives. Let’s rise together! Come join us and be part of a night to remember!

Frida People is a community-centered collective rooted in mindfulness, creative expression, and cultural connection. Founded in 2020 in Oakland, we create spaces—both virtual and in-person—that uplift the voices of local and international artists, healers, and visionaries. Our events are grounded in the belief that it takes a village to grow, thrive, and heal, and we’re passionate about building community through art, wellness, and shared experience.#RootedAndRising #Polarities #FridaPeopleCollective #BayAreaEvents #CommunityGathering #ArtAndSoul #HealingThroughArt #LiveMusicSF #CreativeResistance #ConsciousCommunity
