Frequently Asked Questions:
I've compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions about the Foundation course. If you need to ask something else, send us a note here.
Who can apply:
Anyone. Since September 2021, we welcome all genders for all of our classes. For clarity, this course is not basic anti-racism or similar class. We expect a basic degree of understanding about anti-oppressive work. This is a brave space, it's ok to make mistakes AND we want to treat people with care and respect.
What if I am having trouble with the application?
No worries. We accept a verbal application or can provide other arrangements. Book directly into Anuradha's calendar here.
What if I can't make a call live or I'm in another time zone?
No worries. We have done our best to make the live sessions as accessible across many time zones. Each week you will have a list of the resources, topics discussed, and practices. In addition, we record the calls and make them available within 48 hours along with the transcript. We do ask everyone to participate in some way.
What if I can't afford the class?
What if I can't keep up with the course materials?
That is completely fine. The materials are optional. We do our best to summarize the salient points of the readings in during class and we are continuously looking to add more variety of resources that are beyond readings (ie, audios, graphics, videos, etc.) We have also added 3 integration weeks where no new materials are added, so there is time to integrate and catch up.
You will also have access to the recordings and a list of the resources for future perusal after the course is completed.
What if I'm not sure if I am good fit?
Send us a direct email, or schedule time with Anuradha to chat about it.
What if I want to take this in a professional or business capacity?
That's fantastic. Several businesses/teams have taken the course. For those taking this training as part of a professional development training or in a business capacity. We ask that you pay at the Ally or VIP rate tiers. We encourage you to bring a team member and join us together.
We are happy to provide a certificate of completion.
Can I take this course again in the future?
Yes, of course. We've had a few students sign up to take the course again. Each group has a different set of perspectives they bring and each time, to keep it fresh, we strive to bring in new content and new learnings.
What will you be offering further trainings?
Yes, rolling out our SPCS for Organizations in 2024/2025. This will be focused on the needs of businesses/organizations to bring post capitalist praxis into organizations or other community projects.
In addition, we plan to offer periodic workshops, panels, and other trainings. Sign up to our list to get the details.

Can I bring my business partner or team member? Yes, you're more than welcome to do this! We have had several business partners take our foundation training together and a company with several employees also joined our last cohort. They have had some pretty amazing shifts in the ways they work since the course. Contact us for a organizational pricing.
What results will taking this course bring to me and my business/work? We don't guarantee any sort of results, it really depends on your grounding, your priorities, and the ways you implement what we speak about. Most people share that it changes their view of capitalism and living/operating in. We've had business owners say it: saved their working relationship, changed their money and pricing ethic, shifted the projects the focused on to bring more ease into their work. Here's a look at what people are saying about our foundation class.
What if I don't know how to use Zoom?
Let us know. We help you out. You will need internet access and a digital device that connects you to the internet. For Zoom you can download the app and log in with the details we provide.
How long will the materials take me each week?
It's going to vary from person to person, but a good estimate is 1-3 hours of time beyond the 90 minute calls. Of course, you are welcome to do what works best for you. And as I shared above, we make every effort to highlight the salient points of the texts during the class.
