Who we are
Mixtape Praxus is a learning and leadership design studio where theology, culture, and community meet. We create curriculum and experiences that help people and organizations adapt to change without losing what matters most — their integrity, their sacred inheritance, and their commitment to collective transformation.
Founded by Dr. Tamice Spencer-Helms, Mixtape Praxus emerged from decades of fieldwork, academic research, and deep listening across church, campus, and community. We exist to bridge theory and practice — to make spiritual and leadership formation rigorous, embodied, and liberative.
Whether through retreats, incubators, live courses, or long-term partnerships, we create space for people to move beyond diseased imagination and toward something more just, more whole, and more alive.
Everything we do is with the intentionality curated like a mixtape: multi-voiced, culturally rooted, rhythmic, and designed for resonance.
MIXTAPE METHODOLOGY
Mixtape Methodology is a pedagogical and spiritual approach rooted in curation, creativity, and context. Mixtapes, draws together diverse voices, cultural texts, sacred traditions, and lived experiences — layered with intention to provoke resonance, not conformity.
Rather than relying on a single voice or a rigid formula, Mixtape Methodology builds each experience as a composed learning journey. We intentionally bring in expert facilitators, artists, theologians, and practitioners whose lived experience and wisdom align with the theme of the gathering. These voices don’t just supplement the curriculum — they are the curriculum, forming a vibrant chorus of insight, tension, and transformation.
The methodology follows a rhythm of Exegete → Engage → Embody — so that participants move beyond abstract knowledge into communal reflection and applied practice.
