Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds Foundation Course - Design Your Personalised Anti-Capitalist Strategy
2024 Spring Cohort enrollment open - we start April 23.
A 10-week foundational course designed to help you gain a better understanding of capitalism and develop a customized anti-capitalist strategy.
After this live course you'll be able:
Sowing Post-Capitalist Seeds offers a comprehensive introduction to capitalism and colonialism as well as skills to curate and execute your own anti-capitalist practices.
Participating in this course can help you develop the language and skills to identify how capitalism and colonialism impacts your daily life. This understanding enables you to hone essential skills, curate your own unique set of practices, and create alternatives to the current system using the tools you've acquired.
The course provides a safe space for you and the fellow participants to explore a post-capitalist future together. You’ll understand the impact of capitalism your life, work, and relationships and connect with others dedicated to envisioning alternatives beyond our late-stage capitalist reality.
Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds offers you a chance to receive perspectives that challenge your own as well as the experience of solidarity with ample support from fellow participants and skilled facilitators. As the capitalist world faces uncertainty, there's no better time to engage in such a course.
Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds is focused on answering the question: How can we thrive in our lives, work, relationships, and communities as we integrate the anti-capitalist practices?
We, Moriah and Anuradha, crossed paths back in 2018. From our rich and nourishing conversations that brought us together blossomed the tendrils of this course.
[Even this sales page and course is a paradox. We're asking people to step into post-capitalist paradigms while we're all still living through late stage capitalism. Yet we're also aware of & acknowledging our own needs of making a living in the world. We take on this role as facilitators. We bring the energy and invitation of embodiment, not simply as an intellectual exercise.]

What can I expect in a course on Post Capitalism?
As we move into life, work, and relationships beyond capitalism, we need places of possibility, vision, and space holders to grow something new. The place we start with that is exploring the history of how we got here and understanding how the events, beliefs, and laws that impact us as individuals and the collective now.
To make the transition, we need healing, and also to build our collective power and resilience.
By forming networks, we can be like trees holding each other below the surface of the ground, bracing and supporting new life. We need containers to grow seedlings of ideas into whole ecosystems, like micro-economies that can support all of us abundantly.
This course guides us through a season of sowing and tending seeds of change in ourselves and in community. Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds is an interactive course that depends on all the participants showing up and sharing their process in some way. While we accommodate for various learning and participatory styles, we expect all participants to engage in the live course in some way regularly- either live on the calls, in the Miro space, or in some combination of the two.
Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds is for you if:
This course is for all people. Entrepreneurs, creatives, parents, community planners, visionaries, educators, healers, non-profit leaders, business owners, front line workers, civil servants, professionals, government employees, organizers, leaders, and connectors who are ready to engage in new post capitalist ways can all benefit from this course.
As a facilitator we value: Black/Indigenous/queer led movements and sources, anti-fascism, Indigenous sovereignty and land back, our lineages of wisdom holders, relating with both our ancestors and descendants, community focus and mutual aid over personal empowerment, self governance, anarchism/ dismantling hierarchies.

What our past participants have said
'Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds utterly changed my relationship with capitalism and money. The seeds are still growing- but it shifted something deep inside me.'
- Meg Lightheart
'Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds was like Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”. We time traveled with the ghosts of capitalism’s past, present and future and saw the chilling threads. We also saw the threads of resistance and possibility. We had the opportunity to reflect and share along the way.'
- Katie Manaras
'The Sowing Post-Capitalist Seeds Course will ground you in your scattered thoughts on how to be a good human this day in time. Anuradha and Moriah are excellent guides and teachers, providing a curriculum and course structure that is both full of resources, recommendations, tools for learning, live calls, and exercises, while at the same time is a place of non-judgement, flexibility and community. They do not just lecture, but share life experiences and perspectives and invite us to share as well. The work is intense and worth the commitment as I know more now about capitalism, its roots and how I, as little me, can create change in my own life and business that can ripple out and be a benefit in this life-time without the urgency to save the world all by myself!'
- Miranda Wildman
'I wish I could have continued having Moriah and Anuradha as teachers forever. I’ve never encountered teachers that deliver such a complex and often heavy subject matter in such a manner that it created space and movement within me, rather than weighing me down. This is what teaching looks like outside of the cisheteropatriarchal, white supremacist, capitalist paradigm. I found the course healing and empowering and some months down the line, much of what I learned in the course has become an essential part of my personal practice of anti-capitalism.'

What our past participants have said
'I can see how capitalist resistance is not only possible, but already a part of how I've been living my life. I can now dig into those practices, lifestyle choices, projects with full abandon, knowing that my role in creating the new world after capitalism is being fulfilled in the things I find most joy in. If you have a feeling you don't like capitalism, but you can't pinpoint or explain exactly why, join this program! It has brought me so much clarity and given me the language I was missing to explain why I'm interested in creating something beyond capitalism.
Anuradha and Moriah are amazing, caring, thoughtful facilitators who model what post-capitalistic living can look like.'
- Lilly Piedra
'This course is super helpful if you are looking for a broad introduction to anti-capitalist thinking. The very structure of the course embodies the ideas they are promoting, and creates a safe space to fumble towards a new world together. This course is a journey through and beyond all the ways capitalism touches our lives, with fellow travelers who are committed to seeing the possibilities beyond it. I was impressed by the amount of trust that was able to be built over Zoom in our group.'
- Murphy Robinson
'It was the most thought-provoking and challenging material I've had in my life since college. I think about feminism, racism, capitalism, appropriation, community resilience and oppression completely different now that I've taken this class. I love the dynamic between Anuradha and Moriah. They are great teachers, both challenging and kind.'
- Sarah Wineberg
Join us for this cohort of Sowing Post Capitalist Seeds, to learn to identify the patterns of capitalism and create your own individual anti-oppressive practices. Not the kind of learning that is superficial or intellectualized, but in an embodied way – one where you’ve deeply integrated the understanding, can identify patterns of systemic oppression and ways to stop it.
