Submission
The world they built is collapsing—and it was never meant to hold us anyway. The air is thick with smog and endings. And still, we remain. Beneath the ruin, something stirs: hands in soil, medicine from weeds, instructions passed through broken frequencies. We are not gathering to be seen. We are gathering to prepare.
We’re calling for workshops on what keeps us alive and thriving outside of capital; in the face of extinction: guerrilla gardening, wild plant ID, DIY healthcare, tincture-making, abortion access, hormone care, self-defense, somatics, self-regulation, bio remediation, prepper magic, makeshift shelters, analog comms, wilderness first aid, infrared detection avoidance, squatting for longevity, and anti-tech survival that exists outside of omnipresent surveillance.
We want to know what to do when there’s no food on the shelves, when the grid goes dark, when the body breaks down and no help is coming. We want to explore how to interfere, how to disrupt, how to wound the systems that keep us docile, monitored, and afraid. There are many forms of offense. Let’s explore all of them.
Just as urgently, we need the skills that keep us from turning on each other. The kind of survival that chooses care as strategy. That knows self-tending is not separate from community defense. That resists disposability and domination alike. That finds ways to stay in relationship even through rupture. If you hold knowledge that feeds, protects, soothes, or repairs—bring it.
The future is burning. Let us gather what’s worth saving, and learn to defend it.
