Dreaming the World to Come offers a space for collaboration and collective dreaming, re-imagining Time and the ways we relate to it. This community honors the diverse voices of the diaspora, past, present, and future, who have been dreaming of a just world for millennia.
This vision, often referred to as Olam haBa in Jewish thought, includes Reparations, Land Back, a Free Palestine, abolition of police and prisons, Disability Justice, Reproductive Justice, Climate Justice, queer and trans liberation, and a world where all bodies and beings are treated as sacred. Those who have historically been most oppressed lead our journey back into family with each other, and with our mycelial, animal, plant and spirit kin.
Dreaming the World to Come 5785
The Dreaming the World to Come planner is a tool for touching into ancient timekeeping, while tracking emerging magical practices of connecting with the earth, the heavens, and the stories of our lives and dreams. In this time of fragmenting Jewish community due to the colonial violence of the state of Israel, we offer this mystical, queer, deeply rooted, anti-Zionist, anti-colonial tool for keeping ourselves whole as we map our pathways toward a liberated future.
The 5785/2024-2025 contributions were curated and edited by erica riddick, with art by Kim Wayman and Nomy Lamm, and writings and rituals from Rebecca S’manga-Frank, Is Perlman, Elle Zusi, Jessica Valoris, Aurora Levins Morales, Rosza Daniel Lang/Levitsky, Giselle Castaño, noam lerman, Kadijah Spence, Yishaq Ben Dorit, Rebekah Erev, and Dalya Perez.
Planners will be shipping at the beginning of September, with plenty of time to receive yours before Rosh Hashana.
