Please join us for our new book club. We’re going to spend three meetings talking about Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Kimmerer. We’ll meet three Thursday evenings, 6:30-8:00, in the barn and enjoy tea and cookies while we talk.
Braiding Sweetgrass is a beautiful reflection on how humanity needs to repair its relationship with the earth by shifting towards an attitude of gratitude, reciprocity, and respect. Kimmerer blends scientific knowledge with Indigenous wisdom to share what plants, and nature can teach us. There are several beautiful metaphors of braiding sweetgrass throughout the book that show the interconnectedness and reciprocity of all life on earth.
Session 1: We’ll discuss the first chapter, “Planting Sweetgrass”
Session 2: We’ll read chapters two and three, “Tending Sweetgrass” and “Picking Sweetgrass”
Session 3: We’ll read chapters four and five, “Braiding Sweetgrass” and “Burning Sweetgrass”
Cost: $15 for 3 sessions
