Wecome to Re-Seeding Imaginations;

This is a collaborative learning space to radically imagine an enchanting future for multispecies flourishing. Seeds, food, culture, creativity, community, and reverent curiosity; hosted by me as an Indigenous seed-keeper/storyteller.

Every person supporting this space supports my creative contributions to the world. Your support is a tangible way to honor what I have been called to share and also directly supports our Indigenous Seed Bank stewardship at Sierra Seeds.

Reciprocity for supporting “Re-Seeding Imaginations” :

In the spirit of reciprocity, I offer a Book Club ( monthly live discussions and a private chat) to those who generously support my creative writing efforts here. Reciprocity is a core value for me, culturally.

In the spirit of inclusion, I made the decision not to paywall any of my posts. Inclusion and equity are core values for me, culturally.

I am so grateful to feel the support from so many who genuinely want to nourish my creative writing endeavors, who see that their gift supports the culture work that is needed to birth new worlds. Those who want to uplift an Indigenous woman's voice in these turbulent and transformative times.

I feel your support as relational and an authentic embodiment of a little vestige of the gift economy. I love practicing reciprocity in a world steeped in transactionality. It's a radical act.

The primary purpose of a gift economy is to strengthen social relationships and build community, where people care for and support each other, which is at the heart of what I strive to cultivate with my rhizomatic sharing in "Re-seeding Imaginations" and also with the world I'm dreaming and seeding for future generations.

This community is a Participatory Rhizomatic space!

This space will always be free and accessible for all who want to meander in and read, comment, and learn from what I am seeding in my posts and essays. I am committed to learning out loud and not paywalling for my essays for the time being. Please read, comment, and share ideas, links, and thoughts that come up for you when you read what I am sharing. I already love some of the dialogue and sharing that is happening in the comment threads; such good connections are emerging. I am always so thankful when we are in a call and response in the comments where resources, questions, and thoughts are shared from all of you here in the community.

The community is the curriculum.

The nodes and roots and shoots are growing and helping us reimagine and birth new worlds on the horizon. I engage in a type of nodal writing from the comments and interactions that take place in the comment sections. Nodal writing is where you allow for rhizomatic offshoots to respond and grow from the primary piece of writing—allowing your writing to have active nodes where additional threads of storytelling can grow from you or others. What does nodal writing look and feel like to me? It means extending questions, weaving my words with the thoughts that have seeded my own understandings and curiosities, writing from a place of inquiry and sometimes unknowing, and allowing the pathway of inquisitiveness to unfurl.

I will always attempt to cultivate some fertile nodes from my writing so that you, too, can practice this form of kinship creativity. What might take root in your own writing practice through the practice of deep reading and being in conversation with the ideas that I am sowing here? I would love to hear more. Please share this with us in the comments.

I love to engage in a public practice of reverent curiosity to write regular love poems and thought pieces in words and photos as an antidote to the devastation of the modern world. An act of resistance, sharing little snippets of Indigenous joy and curiosity and uplifting my voice to celebrate my own survival against all odds. My writing practice is a way to grow the imaginal roots of new worlds and to strengthen my sense of agency and hope in a time of empires collapsing. A way of stirring the compost piles of the failings of modernity to see what might sprout in its place to feed those yet to come.

Your support means so much; thank you for nourishing my creative pathways.

I genuinely look forward to exploring the realms of these new words, seeding new worlds, and using them to hold and name our collective grief so that we can continue to metabolize and compost it into renewed life
