casting the spiral
with Sara El-Sayeh

an online 3-day Work That Reconnects Workshop through an Expanded Decolonized Spiral

moving beyond despair when the world is folding over itself

New dates and times to be announced

Sara El-Sayeh (she/her), M.A. is an Egyptian writer, (single) mother and facilitator roaming the fault lines of Cairo. Sara has an MA in economics in international development and spends a lot of time contemplating life post growth. She’s a Post Growth Institute fellow (2025) and works with the imagination as an important tool to carry us forward on the path of degrowth.

Post-revolution and mid-collapse, her work explores what it means to belong, and at times completely refusing to, in a place that demands that she becomes convenient.

Sara maps the geographies of single motherhood: the labyrinth of repair and care as resistance. Her work helps (her) navigate the freeze of capitalism while slowly weaving communities of care to nourish us through times of collapse.
