  • Biosphere Book Club : Braiding Sweetgrass

    Zoom

    EnergizeActon.org invites you to discuss key themes in this luminous work by Robin Wall Kimmerer. A trained botanist and member of the Potawatomi Nation, the author shares the wonder of the plant world, but also helps us to see plants as teachers. Her First Nations perspective reminds us that we have a lot to learn from other species, including the meaning of reciprocity and thanksgiving.  You do not need to read the book. A reflection guide with quotes and questions will be sent to those who register. Info and registration at https://energizeacton.org/event/biosphere-book-club-may-title-braiding-sweetgrass/
