Spearitwurx has a story and a
​mission to transform our world

Our Story
Spearitwurx emerged from the union of two lives: Mizan Alkebulan-Abakah, MPH and Sizwe Andrews Abakah. ​This husband and wife team have over 35 years of combined experience in youth programming and education, developing innovative programs and engagement strategies for youth. 
​
Mizan and Sizwe joined forces in 2004 and officially created Spearitwurx to expand their impact to include culturally-based, gender-specific Healing Circles, as well as Wilderness Camps, Experiential Retreats, and Community Education Workshops that have served thousands of youth and their families across the Bay Area.

We understand that experience is the best teacher and that it is through these visceral moments that transformation happens. Therefore, every Spearitwurx workshop, retreat, event or training offers experiences and opportunities for reflection, connection and transformation.

Our Mission
To develop young peoples ability to actively contribute to the transformation of their families,as well as to the creation of healthy and sustainable communities in which they live.

To equip youth development professionals with the sustainable tools in order to successfully engage, motivate and empower youth toward health and wellness.

Simply put we want to provide experiences that transform our world!
