Offered by Ife & Lev ShepsuMa'at
GATH3R is where Lev and Ife bring our skills, passions, and proclivities together to offer our work to group settings in three ways.
Multi-modal music, story, and movement productions — from around a bonfire to a main stage.
Guided group processes, online media, ebooks, and courses — inner technologies you carry home.
Infrastructure and resources that support wellness, resourcefulness, and community resilience.
Stories, performed
Our tales are presented in the ways of our ancestors — intended to be intergenerational, with insight and clarity deep enough that an elder could value them, and enjoyable enough that a child would love to listen, sing along, and play along with us.
Through poetry, prose, and song of our oceanic origins, we remember our journey becoming on this planet, losing our connection, and joyfully reclaiming it.
Through breath, song, and story we affirm the connection that's always there.
Originals and covers amplifying deep wellness and connection to our inner w.i.s.dom, each other, and all.
Short stories that explain wellness, interconnection, and sovereignty in easy-to-understand and easy-to-remember ways.

Skills, supported
We guide a group of people through a process that leaves them confident they can apply the inner technology they've learned — grounded in their own skill set and their own clarity. Catered to any age range, from simple introductions to deep-dives for those who know the foundations.
From picky eater to nourished foundation — sneaking in nourishing foods and restructuring the microbiome from the inside out, with very little resistance.
The foundations from ten-plus years studying the Weston A. Price principles — how people who lived this way for generations nourished themselves, all over the world.
Transitioning from toxin-laden fluoride to re-mineralizing teeth in simple ways — what we've lived, learned, and continue to study.
Introducing Capoeira Angola through its history, music, and movement.
Natural incense harvesting and bundling, palmetto weaving, and wild herb foraging walks.
From backyard first-tent to forest nights — walking you every step of the way, so nature connection feels nourishing and easeful.
Simple, inexpensive, non-toxic methods of cleaning and maintaining one's living space — ever increasingly sovereign.
Two techniques fine-tuned over eight years — gentle, easeful, light. Without drama, tears, or pain; supporting freedom and play.

Solutions, offered
Every tool that we have here, we either have access to or have experienced — and can tell that it could be significantly beneficial for an individual or a community effort toward the w.i.s.e values we intend to support in the world.
An infrastructure we utilize to support the wellness of our body, both internally and externally, and also to clean our spaces.
We believe it is the evolution of a relationship with water. Just as we have gathered around water since the beginning of our journey on this planet, we believe this tool could be pivotal in reclaiming those gathering spaces — and supporting each other to recognize the ways we can impact each other's lives to save money, become more resourceful, and ultimately heal this planet.
A piece of infrastructure that has been really helpful for feeling a deep sense of security in times when we really don't know what could happen in the future in relationship to the food we have. Whenever we experience abundance, we do everything we can to make that abundance last — and this is a tool that can make it last the longest and maintain the most nutritional value. We recommend it, have utilized it immensely, and intend to continue to do so.
A tool at the leading edge of the evolving science of studying water. Very simple, and much more accessible than our wellspring infrastructure — and at the same time a very profound technology that can help us reclaim some of the deepest qualities of water in our life, by something so simple as a wand placed in the water.
When we began to understand the ways that water is impacted by our thoughts and actions — and by the chemicals and aggression toward this planet — we realized how important it is to reclaim the wisdom and intelligence that is always accessible in water. This wand brings the strongest energy possible into the water through their wonderful year-long technique of seeding the water with the beneficial energies of the Earth. In this way we can reclaim our waters not only structurally, but energetically as well.
GATH3R works on the same principle as everything we do: reciprocity, spoken out loud. We can talk about cost directly and early.
This work is project-based. Each gathering is priced as itself — the workshop, the performance, the full arc of what we’re making together — not by the hour. Time is a tool here, not the measure.
We're open to a range of ways to be paid:
Sometimes entrance into the event is payment enough. A full room of the right people is its own kind of wealth — we can talk about what you bring versus what you pay.
Priced per gathering and group size, scaled to who’s in the room and what we’re building.
A single rate for the piece itself, agreed before the doors open, so the art is never haggled over.
Longer collaborations priced as a whole arc — workshop series, residencies, gatherings with a life of their own.
Rates vary by workshop, and that’s on purpose — each gathering asks something different. Bring what you have; let’s find the exchange that lets everyone arrive feeling well.

Whether it's a tale around your fire, a technique for your family, or a tool for your community — the journey begins with a conversation.
