about wildseed society
The WildSeed Society's mission is to help us get free from capitalism and domination
To do that, we are cultivating a spiritual community that supports activists and organizers in Movement:
- Rebels holding the line of defense and buying us time to get out
- Nurturers seeding and growing the future we can move into
So we can all get our needs met with dignity and in caring community.

The WildSeed Society is...
A movement of science fiction characters who we read about and needed to be real.
It is a manifestation of the world we knew was possible because we knew this world would never be enough.
It existed in the collective imagination of people who knew they were not fully free -
Long before Octavia Butler wrote her brilliant and life changing novel, Wild Seed.
A book where a small group of weirdly gifted individuals raised descendants who would build a powerful interconnected network.
A Church in the Wild.
A space in the backwoods where enslaved peoples could practice their spirituality on their own terms.
A land of grief and praise where we can practice being who we truly are.
An iterative, stateless nation where the oppressed, the colonized, and the marginal find refuge for themselves by offering it to others.
A space where the broken are not broken.
Where the captive are not captive.
Where oppression holds no power.
An Incubator and Accelerator For The Future
Â
We engage in the deep collective work of bringing the future into the present.Â
This is done through our collective world building both in form of comic books, spiritual talks or other media and in real world structural interventions.Â
We design, prototype and make replicable new ways of being together, meeting our needs with dignity and relating to all that is:
*New Systems of Care
*Communities of Shared Risk
*Wrap Around Support for Movement Stewards
*Vehicles For Stewarding Communal Luxury
*Avenues For Rest and Regrounding
An invitation to create a different future for us - by being together differently.
We invite you to practice building the social, economic, political and spiritual conditions from which our Liberation could actually arise.Â
We don’t have to wait for Liberation. Glimpses of it are created every time we come together to enact rituals of Liberation communally.
Thus the revolution transforms from a struggle to bring about, and win, a final confrontation with Empire -
To a praxis of learning to support the iterations of our dream society longer and for all of us.
Our Spiritual Practices
The WildSeed Society defies any easy description.
It is first and foremost a spiritual community. We come together for shared ritual, growth, and fellowship.
Yet it is a spiritual community that is based in a belief that spiritual and social liberation are different sides of the same coin.
We believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
As spiritual beings we are fundamentally one - individualizations of the universal spirit called many names.
Yet our society trains us to think of ourselves as separate from each other and from the very earth that nourishes us.
As human beings, we are all tied together in countless webs of interrelations.
Yet histories of colonization, genocide, slavery and exploitation complicate our ability to live into our shared belonging.
We believe that these social systems that situate us in exploitative and extractive relationships with the earth, our bodies, and each other hamper our spiritual development.
Our spiritual underdevelopment in turn leads us to double down on these parasitic social systems until we forget that we are all spiritual beings who are inherently worthy of love, belonging, and the resources necessary to get our needs met with dignity.
We believe that neither spiritual enlightenment nor political liberation are possible separately.
We must abolish the systems that no longer serve us while building communities that truly hold all of us; spiritual and human, brilliant and broken, and in all the beautiful iterations that humans come in.
Thus we seek to bring together people who recognize that the world that is currently dying is one that needs to die.
In its place we will build a world capable of holding multiple worlds, which is to say, a world where multiple visions of liberations coexist and mutually support each other.
We come together to find refuge by offering it to each other.
In that refuge of human fellowship, we hope to support each other in exiting the soul sucking hamster wheel of racialized capitalism through mutual aid and developing an ecology of purpose driven community work.
At the same time we hope to pool our resources to support autonomous projects that can transform the wider world around us.
