WildSeed Society

What WildSeed Society does

WildSeed Society is a Black-led, BIPOC-focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2019–2020 and headquartered in Washington, DC (with a Colorado Springs mailing address). It cultivates a social, spiritual, and economic community dedicated to building infrastructure for collective liberation, addressing three interlocking crises it identifies as a spiritual crisis of belonging, a social crisis of unacknowledged history, and an economic crisis of social reproduction. The organization is governed by a five-person collective it calls the Sacred Warren — Aaron Goggans, Sandra Kim, Erika Totten, Chany Singh, and Reece Chenault — many of whom are veterans of Black Lives Matter: DC, Everyday Feminism, and US Labor Against the War.

Its core product surface is a portfolio of free community offerings and paid programs. Free offerings include biweekly Emotional Emancipation Circles (for Black participants), biweekly Caring Circles (for BIPOC participants), near-daily Centering Practices led by Sandra Kim, monthly Fireside Chats, and the Mighty Networks-based Virtual Village. Paid offerings include Collective Care Pods (a 5-month BIPOC course), a White Allies course, and a Patreon-based Virtual Village membership tier. Movement support is delivered through dedicated sub-brands: Revolutionary Aftercare, TRACC for Movements (Trauma Response and Crisis Care), Peer Respite, and Social Reproductive Defense. Adjacent services include the worker-owned WildSeed Wellness Cooperative (coaching, organizational development, wellness packages) and a fiscal sponsorship program launched in 2024 for aligned organizations including the Womanist Working Collective and Fawohodie Membership Club. The Liberating Retreat initiative (BUILD/BLOCK/BE framework) anchors the in-person programming.

WildSeed operates as an anti-capitalist commons: it has no parent company, no private equity backing, and no disclosed institutional investors. Revenue mechanics are mixed and intentionally non-extractive: tax-deductible individual donations via PayPal/check (Dana practice), Patreon memberships, sliding-scale course fees (with no one turned away for lack of funds), paid coaching/cooperative services, and grant funding from foundations including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Open Horizon Foundation. All delivery runs on commodity infrastructure (Kajabi for courses, Zoom for events, Patreon for membership, Mighty Networks for the free community), and no proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, apps, or patents are disclosed. The pricing model is explicitly access-first, supported by foundation grants and donations.
