7ABCs is a global cooperative business association cultivating the infrastructure for a cooperative land trust. We host educational seminars, summer intensives, sport leagues, and member-led economic initiatives — all powered by the TEK8 framework that links eight elemental literacies to weekly, daily, and seasonal practice. Children represent their family businesses; adults steward the land trust; the cooperative grows together.
Four overlapping practices, one association.
The TEK8 framework — eight elemental literacies (Coin · Water · Fire · Air · Ether · Earth · Chaos · Order) — woven through seasonal, weekly, and daily practice. Curriculum partner to schools, families, cooperatives.
An association of family businesses, educators, and creators. Members teach what they know, learn what they don't, and study the business + material aspects together. Economic self-determination as practice.
Decisions, contributions, and stewardship distributed across members. Not a top-down nonprofit; a cooperative of associated practitioners growing capacity together.
The long horizon: a cooperative global land trust. Every season's work — every Unit, every game, every cohort, every artifact — contributes to the infrastructure.
The first major in-person cohort of the 2026 season. Twelve Units, Horse to Snake, June 14 – September 5.
An educational seminar series + business accelerator for young people ages 8+. Children attend as representatives of their family businesses; we read Buerge's Chief Seattle and the Town That Took His Name one chapter per Unit; we follow Sasquatch across the summer; we generate capacity for the cooperative land trust.
Pick the one that fits where you are now. Move between them as your relationship to the association grows.
