Join our book discussion group centered around the much-celebrated collection of essays, “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants” by Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Themes that will be explored during our discussions include reciprocity, gratitude, community, gift economy, interdependency, the mutual sharing of gifts, learning the language of nature, and connecting to the land through the gifts of mind, body, emotion, and spirit.
