Life happens. If you enroll in the Treehouse and a family emergency arises, your kid's schedule changes or you simply have a change of heart. Regardless the reason, you can secure your spot by enrolling in Seeda School and rest assured you can receive a no questions asked refund if anything changes before accessing the Treehouse library on the first day of the retreat which starts January 27th, 2025.
We are unable to issue refunds after January 27th, 2025, when you will receive full access to the Treehouse library. With that said, we invite you to enroll with care and intention.
Ayana has created a thriving Black feminist counterpublic that combines the speculative imaginary with the power of presence and action to manifest worlds that exist outside of and beyond oppressive systems, reminding us that we don’t have to cut off any parts of ourselves in the work. As a participant in both the Seed a World Retreat and the Treehouse over the past year, I have found that accepting Ayana’s invitation into communal worldbuilding has completely transformed the way I think about both engaging with and funding my creative practice. Their gentle invocation around returning consistently to our work to build a nurturing cadence of outreach via the weekly dispatch, with its focus on curiosity and research, as well as their guidance on developing an income-generating offer has shown me the value of cultivating a creative ecosystem where all parts feed into and nourish each other. I came for the emphasis on grounding our art in interdisciplinary wildness and opacity. I stay for the soft weave of community that grounds us all together in what Alexis Pauline Gumbs calls “an interdependent ceremony.” Ayana and my fellow worldbuilders are holding each other through this time of escalating genocide and rising fascism worldwide and together we are creating full universes of possibility to, in Christina Sharpe’s words, “imagine otherwise.” Join us?
