Simply put, a practice space is a space to practice at your own pace and on your own terms.  Instead of moving from "beginning" to "end" this is a space to engage and enter whenever you want with an abundant number of opportunities to engage (in this case 35 different poetic engagements of the principles of Earthseed to play with).  You could create a daily, weekly or monthly practice.  You could engage intermittently when you need support adapting.  You could use it as a shared archive to engage together with other friends who have signed up for the practice space.  It's up to you!

Alexis Pauline Gumbs wrote the series of poems that comprise this practice space during a time of adaptation in her own life and community, specifically the process of growing with and ultimately shifting out of a people of color collective land project in Durham North Carolina she helped found called Earthseed. The poems are dedicated to her beloved co-founders and she wrote them after dreaming every morning for 35 consecutive days. The 18 videos that accompany this course emerged leading up to the Dark Sciences Dream Retreat, a retreat for 21 dreamers of color that took place at Alma de Mujer (stewarded by the Indigenous Women's Network) outside Austin, TX.    This practice space is at the meeting place of dreams (our subconscious prophetic processing) and dream, our intentions to create a better world.
