The Dreaming the World to Come planner is a practical tool and a magical instrument, anchoring us in ancient rhythms and lineages of resistance, weaving collaborations with the earth, the heavens, and the possibilities inherent in every moment. We draw upon the support and sustenance of ancestral Jewish, Black, Indigenous, Arab, Asian, Latinx, anti-Zionist, queer, disabled, feminist and earth-based wisdom, as we lean toward each other and our dreams of a liberated future.
This will be our final year of creating the Dreaming the World to Come planner! Thank you to everyone who has dreamed this creation into being, and all the people who have used this daily planner/moon calendar/dream journal to chart the flow of days. We are so grateful, definitely a little sad, and a little relieved to give this beauty her final hurrah. These past seven years have been a real journey.
This year’s incredible cohort of contributors are: Anna Elena Torres, Alissa Bernard Golbus, Cassidy Dallas, Felipe Ventura, Rena Branson, Saffron Kaplan, Shula Mola, Dean Spade, Hadasah Yaqob-Johnson, Je’Jae Cleopatra Mizrahi, Courtney Parker West, and Brant Rosen. Art by Nomy Lamm, Kim Wayman, Ayeola Omolara Kaplan, and Jessica Valoris.
Dreaming the World to Come is distributed by BuyOlympia, along with the Radical Jewish Calendar, under the umbrella of the Signal Fire Radical Jewish Artist Cooperative.
At the BuyOlympia Signal Fire shop, you can also find greeting cards based on the Dreaming the World to Come art and writings from 5786. (To the right is the art for the month of Nisan, by Ayeola Omolara Kaplan and Nomy Lamm.) You can purchase individual cards for $5 each, or get the whole set of 12 for only $30.
These are a great way to learn about the Hebrew calendar in small digestible doses, with art, selected wisdoms, mystical associations, and an ancient demon on the back of the card based on ancient drawings from incantation bowls! We only printed a limited number to see how people like them, so let us know what you think!
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.
“This grounded wisdom is so helpful in reminding me of the rich gifts of our Jewish ancestors and the beauty of our planet.”
“Having a calendar that centers ancestral time cultivated a deep force of change, healing and love within my body.”
