Hi everyone
As you know we are intending to phase out Patreon access to our course content at the end of 2025.
To that end, we would love it if you would make the leap over to our new payments system at https://mimbres.study.garden/
If you make an annual subscription pledge before the end of January, your subscription will get MATCHED by an anonymous donor. If you're an existing Patreon subscriber and you...
2024-12-22 20:25:42 +0000 UTC View PostDear supporters of Mimbres School
Thanks so much to everyone who has supported us on Patreon over the years. I am currently doing the IRS statement for Mimbres School for 2023, and it is a little shocking how much money Patreon charges us to take money from all of you. We did 250% growth on Patreon last year and we have plainly and simply outgrown this site.
Please consider switching to the new website at https://m...

Hi Everyone
I'm thrilled to announce that we have received our confirmation letter from the IRS and are now officially a 501(c)(3) public charity. There is still time to make a tax deductible donation with full assurances before the end of 2023!
Get in touch at themimbresschool@gmail.com or on Discord if you have any questions.

if you would like to pre-register for a course in 2024, you may do so using this form. Pre-registration costs $50 per course, and entitles you to a $25 discount on the total tuition ($250 per class) when it is due. We will send you an invoice via Stripe shortly after you pre-register: pay the invoice by Dec 31 to get the discount.
Contributors and Friends do not need to register for courses to participate, but if you fill out this form and give us the information about what courses yo...
We are still putting the final touches on our new Patreon-replacement system and hope to have it open very soon, along with pre-registration for all of our 2024 courses, which begin in early February.
In the meantime, I want to announce our new pricing structure for 2024, along with the very exciting news that we have secured a matching donation of up to $20,000 for all donations up to Patron-tier at the annual fundraiser! So anyone who switches over to the new system will effectively d...

Please enjoy this year's State of the School address in which I go over the numbers. This has been a huge growth year for us and our revenues are up over 100 percent. We've also expanded the payroll and our activities greatly. 501c3 (pending) status is coming very soon along with our first annual year-end fundraiser, which mean's we'll be accepting tax-deductible donations. Please stay tuned for that and consider stepping up your contribution to the Mimbres School to help us reach financial s...
2023-11-21 17:50:55 +0000 UTC View PostAttached is the Mimbres School Course Calendar for 2024 as of 11-20-23.
This is subject to revision, and there will be some additional reading groups scheduled on an ad hoc basis throughout the year, but this will give you a pretty good idea of exactly what's going on when over the next year. Spring Term begins the first week of February, and we will have course descriptions and sign-ups open for those classes soon.
This will all be up on the Discord Events in the next coupl...
2023-11-21 01:53:07 +0000 UTC View PostMimbres School has outgrown Patreon. This site has never worked all that well or been a good place to generate engagement, so we have mostly just been using it as a payment processing service. It's now gotten to a point at which Patreon's cut of our revenues is big enough to make it worthwhile to invest in taking everything in-house. We hope to have that completed very soon.
Patreon will be closed to new subscriptions as soon as we have completed our in-house billing system and Di...
2023-11-19 15:48:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks
Mimbres School is growing rapidly and we have a lot of exciting things to announce over the next couple of months. Right now, one of the biggest constraints on what we are able to offer is limited calendar space for our weekend slots. We also know that there is some unmet demand for Mimbres offerings on international hours. If you are on non-US hours, please make sure you sign up for the time zone that is closest to you on Discord (check the #time-zones channel). This will help...

2023-07-03 17:29:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, and welcome new patrons. We're aware of the errors being thrown up by the Study Garden site. However, there is really no need for you to access that site at all, since all the course content is available on Discord with Patreon integration. I've changed some text on Patreon to reflect this and point people in the right direction. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Summer courses are starting in early June so there will be lots of fresh content rolling off the production line ve...
2023-05-11 13:57:49 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Course signups for Summer 2023 are now live at https://mimbres.study.garden. We're excited to offer three courses: "What is Blackness?" w/ Taija, "On Horses" w/ Joy, and "Hobbes' Leviathan" w/ Colin.
All courses have a tuition of $250, with the option of a $15 rebate per attended session at the end of the course.
Hope to see you in class!
2023-04-01 22:57:32 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to everyone who newly signed up and/or upgraded their tier on patreon. We are feeling a big wave of support for the Mimbres School project.
At some point, there will be a Study Garden 0.2 version that will hopefully be more user friendly. In the meantime I'm happy to say that you can now get all the Mimbres School content directly on discord. For the foreseeable future this will be the easiest way to access all course material.

Hi everyone. Thanks and welcome to the new patrons, we're excited to have you here at the Mimbres School. Please remember that if you need to get a hold of me (Colin) please email me at colindrumm@gmail.com, on Discord, or DM me on twitter, as these are much faster ways of reaching me than the Patreon website.

Hi everyone. As you know, this Patreon page is no longer supporting just my (Colin's) work, but is funding the creation of something we are calling "The Mimbres School." So I've renamed the page and changed the URL: patreon.com/mimbresschool
