Welcome Home

Welcome to The Nomadic, a new home for all things Nomadic—where community, care, and love are at the heart of everything we do. Born from the spirit that launched Nomadic Press, The Nomadic is an umbrella organization that now brings together Nomadic Cafe, Earthseed Bookstore, Nomadic Distribution, Nomadic Foundation, Nomadic Press, and the Taproot Institute under one collective roof, rooted in Oakland, California.

We are dedicated to amplifying voices too often left unheard, fostering spaces where creativity, radical care, and collective action thrive. Our journey began with a commitment to marginalized authors, and now, as we expand, we remain steadfast in our mission: to build, slowly and intentionally, a community-centered model that honors the movement of ideas and the deep roots we’ve grown in Oakland and beyond.

The Nomadic is not just an organization—it’s a living, breathing collective. We invite you to join us as we nurture spaces for art, literature, and connection.
