The creation of an independent land-based center for popular education that includes the following:

If you’re drawn to supporting this vision becoming a reality, please get in touch! In other words, are you open to considering sharing land, money, equipment or labor to grow the grounded education our communities, planet, & future generations need? If so, I’m looking forward to connecting.

I found Liberation Spring during a confusing and frustrating time in my life. As a Muslim American, I constantly felt rejected by the place I called home and was struggling to reconcile and honor all of my identities. LS was a space in which I could sit with the discomfort, gather my strength, and channel my energies into learning, growing, and serving my community. The topics of the season are incredibly relevant to the times in which we are living, and Anjali is a master teacher and facilitator that brings out the innate learner in each of her students. I’m excited to rejoin LS in the summer, and eternally grateful for Anjali, the space, and the community members that make LS a true gem of the Bay Area. – Sadia Saifuddin
