Welcome to the latest offering from The Alliance for Self-Directed Education, our podcast! Saving the Seeds of SDE was born out of our organization’s desire to preserve the seeds of knowledge, wisdom and lived experiences of people all over the world practicing Self-Directed Education.

Your hosts are 2025 Staff Members, Bria Bloom and Meghan Suniga-Davies - they will be bringing you conversations throughout the year that are part of a larger Compendium of knowledge that is being assembled by The Alliance.In this first episode, you’ll hear about the beginnings of ASDE and what we stand for in the movement of Self-Directed Education and Collective Liberation. You’ll also hear a bit about our upcoming plans for 2025 and ways you can connect with us, and the larger community!
