• Subscribe to the Membership call November 2026 waiting list here and receive a free introduction guide
• The following text is written by Dr. Asmae Ourkiya.
• I am one of the founding members of the Ecofeminist Society and will facilitate more sessions in this magical, safe space from November 2026 onwards. I added a few sentences in a green color.

Welcome to The Ecofeminist Society. We are building a research- & science-backed community, for us, by us.

A place to gather, learn, teach, develop new practices, engage in rituals, and be in community with others.

A space where we can unburden ourselves from exploitative systems, step away from toxic algorithms, and dream up soft, resilient, ecofeminist, and queer climate futures together.

“Here, you don’t have to carry the world alone. We hold space for your grief, your rage, your joy, and your hopes for a better human+non-human+ Earth recovery.” Dr. Asmae Ourkiya, Founder.

Why join The Ecofeminist Society? 

When you step into this community, you are joining an international network of care, guided by expert knowledge-keepers, activists, artists, therapists, creators, and healers from every part of the Earth, from Asia and Africa to the Americas, Europe, and Australia. Our aim is to co-create soulful offerings that nourish the spirit and ground the mind.

For instance, we’ll hold spaces dedicated to:

• Climate grief: Moving through ecopsychology, honoring our sadness, and turning overwhelm into gentle, collective healing.
• Unlearning & untangling: Unraveling conditioned patterns through our signature Patriarchy Detox Program.
• Reclaiming sacred ancestral wisdom: Diving into ecomythology, ancient witchcraft teachings, and reclaiming our intuitive bonds with the living world.
• Listening to the Earth and more-than-humans: Learning the art of writing with and listening to other-than-human kin, the trees, water, your house plant, your pet, and the soil beneath our feet.
• Rituals: Weekly and monthly gatherings to check in with the seasons and each other, a cozy peer-support club, and a shared repository of wisdom to explore whenever you need inspiration.

We believe that community care should not be an economic burden. Our mutual-aid pricing model is rooted in trust, redistribution, and abundance:

• Standard seat: €18 / month (or €180 / year)
• Accessible seat: €12 / month (or €120 / year) limited seats available for this tier, on a first come, first serve basis.
• Gifted seat: An invitation to sponsor a place for a kindred soul if you have extra to share

Come rest on the waitlist for our November 2026 call, and you’ll hear from us soon!

Our doors will officially swing open in November 2026. To appreciate your interest this early on, we will offer all members who signed up for the waitlist:

• Our ecofeminist companion guide: A curated e-guide to help you understand what joining The Ecofeminist Society entails. This companion will be delivered to your mailbox as soon as you complete this form.
• A self-paced introductory course to ecofeminism: Once you’re in after we open our doors, you’ll have immediate access to a care-centered exploration of queer intersectional ecofeminism, no academic background needed.

There is no obligation to pay for the membership fee if you subscribe to the waiting list.

In the meantime, we are building three chambers in this online space:

You will receive more news on the Wood Wide Web about the Ecofeminist Society in the coming months.

• Expect wood wide stories from Morocco next year.
  • The founding member meeting will take place in Tangiers, just before my 38th birthday.
  • It will be the first time that I will go to Morocco and I plan to attach a week of a small writing retreat and a slower immersion in the more-than-human world of Morocco.

• In the beginning of December, I will give an introduction course in EcoMythology. This is for free for the ES members.

• In January 2027, I plan to facilitate a monthly learning circle (2 hours per month, no homework) on Ecofeminist economics – with more-than-human companions.
  • Topics like budgeting, acknowledging the political economy undervaluing certain labor, investing, back casting, visioning, crowdfunding, commoning and idea of property, gift economy, social or relational return of investment, entrepreneurship, business models, ecosystemizing business models, diverse circular economy models, local currency systems, time budgets, participatory budgets, accounting, making a financial report … would all be addressed and explored.
  • The materials will end up in the Knowledge Commons of the Ecofeminist Society.

• There will be a call for papers for a new journal: Journal of Ecofeminism & Queer Ecology Studies (JEQES): A Diamond Open Access journal advancing queer, intersectional, and ecofeminist care-centered scholarship at the intersection of gender, sexuality & environmental justice.

• From mid November onwards, I will not facilitate free online writing(with)plants sessions anymore. I will continue hosting the practice in the magical, safe space of the Ecofeminist Society.
  • In the beginning of November, exactly five years after the first one, I will host a final free session and write a final newsletter.
  • I think that the emotional cost of volunteer work is too high. I have to make choices.
  • However, other people might facilitate the free online writing(with)plants sessions and self-organize the promotion and organization of these online sessions.
  • I will use my time to co-build the Ecofeminist Society and Wood wide web stories as a publisher of open-access blog posts and physical care(work)books.
