Release A Creative Offer in 9 Weeks

Register for this free workshop to learn more about Seeda School's 9 week program and worldbuilding framework which helps interdisciplinary creatives like you get clarity on what’s for sell and what’s sacred inside your practice. As an artist whose practice has been sustained by institutions for a decade, I can’t tell you how empowering it is to have clarity on which nodes in my creative ecosystem are personal and which nodes I can leverage to fund the rest of the map. 

What we will cover in this workshop

 At the end of the workshop you'll have clarity on the practice inside your creative ecosystem most aligned with your deep desire, your Element X. This clarity is key inside Seeda School because your Element X will be positioned in the center of your creative ecosystem map and all sacred practices and offers to monetize will emerge from this central location of alignment.

  1.  We will define "Element X". N.K. Jemisin describes “Element X” as a creative device that powers speculative fiction. She frames it as a, ““What if...” question that establishes some foundational oddity”. Inside Seeda School we frame it as a “What if...” question that establishes clarity on your deep desire.
  2. We will locate your Element X by using Seeda School's "Element X Quadrant" Resource.
  3. We will share affirmations for rooting our creative ecosystems in deep desire.
  4. We will explore Seeda School's Seed A World framework, a worldbuilding framework helping you get clarity on what’s for sell and what’s sacred inside your practice.
  5. We will explore Seeda School's Seed A World Retreat, a retreat for seeding or returning to an interdisciplinary practice and releasing a creative offer in 9 weeks.
  6. We will leave space to answer any clarifying questions you might have.

Meet The Artist & Teacher Behind Seeda School

Hi! I'm happy you're here. Allow me to introduce myself, I am a transdisciplinary artist and co-author of the non-linear, speculative fiction novella Cykofa: The Seeda Origin Story written during my Ginkgo Bioworks residency in collaboration with creative writing software I engineered at the Recurse Center. I am also the founder of Seeda School, which hosts a digital retreat for worldbuilders with a desire to seed or return to an interdisciplinary practice. 

Leveraging over a decade's worth of experience visioning and releasing interdisciplinary projects, today I enjoy a transdisciplinary practice where I'm able to braid opportunities in form of fine art and biotechnology residencies, software engineering fellowships, guest lecturing on design, invitations to creative conferences, acceptance into artist focused business incubator, institutionally sponsored writing retreats and more by using the framework of worldbuilding to weave and clearly communicate my constellation of skills and curiosities.

Your Genius is Your Generosity

 

Think about all the systems or tools in your work or practice. What is the insight that would have saved you the most time, money or unnecessary suffering if you learned it earlier? Perhaps that’s your offer or the seed of your own framework you can share with others. Your container for sustainable generosity is your genius. Let’s release it together.

This Workshop and Retreat Is For You If

You are wanting to seed or return to an interdisciplinary creative practice.

You are a multi-hyphenate creative with a constellation of skills and curiosities.

You have an interdisciplinary practice but need support with crafting and communicating the narrative thread that weaves together your research, project and offer.

You thrive in a communal learning environment and benefit from structured frameworks, templates, timelines and accountability.

You have an existing, income generating, creative practice but lately it has felt misaligned with your deep desire keeping you in loops of procrastination, disinterest and burn out.

You have an existing creative ecosystem but need clarity on what practices are sacred and what skills can be monetized as offers to the community you serve.

You want to start the new year with an income generating offer that has the potential to support your entire creative ecosystem.

What Seeda School Learners Are Saying

A magnificent learning adventure/voyage I am currently experiencing. Ayana and Seeda School are brilliant! If you would like to learn coding through the teachings of black feminism + do so with a lovely mentor, look no further.
