PLAYGROUND

This community exists as a shared space for anyone to explore what it means to become good future ancestors - tending to cycles of growth, harvest, and rest, together.

We gather intentionally, as time and energy allow. This rhythm allows us to reflect, play, and experiment with the textures, edges, and emotions of future ancestor practice - exploring how art, design, and story can help us live and work in ways that are more just, more alive, and more entangled with the worlds we want to build.

Design has long been used to shape systems of power. Our shared practice is to use design differently - to cultivate care, kinship, and interdependence in the places where we live and create.

Our approach is grounded in three rhythms of practice:

🔍 Reflecting - pausing to examine the histories, systems, and stories that shape our work, and asking what we want to carry forward. Seeking wisdom from many lineages and ways of knowing.

🌱 Reimagining - questioning what no longer serves, unlearning habits of harm and scarcity, and experimenting with practices that center generosity, kinship, and joy.

💫 Regenerating - designing with the future in mind, attending to the impact of our choices on the generations, ecosystems, and communities yet to come.

Until I sort out my liberatory tech stack, the home for this community is Substack - 🌻 Flower tier (paid).

If you’re keen to join and unable to contribute financially at this time, I will gift you a Flower subscription for one year. No questions asked. Contact me.

👋🏽 Whether you come to rest, to learn, or to contribute, you are welcome here. The work of becoming a good future ancestor is never done - it’s practiced, together.
