The open call for the next Reschooling Spiral is still open. You can now apply until 1 August 2026.
If the call passed you by the first time around, we’d love to share a few of the principles this program is rooted in.
The Reschooling Spiral is not a course, but a practice ground. Together, we are relearning how to relate to one another and to the world in ways that open possibilities for different futures. And this kind of learning and unlearning happens through consistent practice and repetition.
The Spiral is a fractal journey that moves across different scales of time and context. What happens in the small gestures and choices can ripple outward. We pay attention to these small shifts, because with each turn of the Spiral, we have the opportunity to embody more fully the qualities and relationships we wish to nurture in the world at large.
The Spiral is a carefully crafted space for collectively cultivating the resilience, discernment, and capacities needed to meet these turbulent times. It is also a space for deep reckoning with the systems of harm we are embedded in, and for engaging with the work that we cannot do alone, but must do together.
If this resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you into the Spiral. And if you know someone who might be called to this work, please share this invitation with them. We’d appreciate your help in reaching the people this is meant for.
This season of SALT: Solidarity, Action, (Un)Learning & Transformation returns to the study kitchen to explore fermentation as an antidote to purity politics.
Purity is one of the great fantasies of violent systems. Fascists dream of pure nations, pure bodies, pure bloodlines, pure cultures, and pure borders. White innocence dreams of clean hands and good intentions. Fermentation teaches us that contamination can be a driving force of change and evolution. It teaches us that difference is a source of strength. The more diverse a culture is, the more resilient and alive it becomes.
We return to the question: What can we learn from microbial life in fermentation about creating the conditions for cultural transformation?
