A DIY PhD is creating a deeper education that honors learning in our bodies and spirits as much as our minds. It’s a reclamation of education for the Earth and legitimizing the knowledges held in our bodies and communities.

Our DIY PhDs thrive when we are in community, connecting to intuition, habitat, and ancestor guides, in cycles of unlearning and learning. Our DIY PhDs are interdisciplinary, honoring multi-species ways of knowing, and unfolding as pathways of resonance through life.

Your DIY PhD is yours! There is no one right way to create your program.

We recommend beginning with a cohort – at least one other person whom you love to learn with – and a weekly time to meet during the semester. Most DIY PhDs take between 4 to 8 years to complete.
