April Book Club Meetup: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Join us for an afternoon of thought-provoking conversation as we discuss Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Here's the summary:
As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings are we capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learning to give our own gifts in return.

I've heard fantastic things about this book and it's been on my TBR for years.

Let’s meet at Foundation Coffee Roasters in Fairfax to enjoy some good discussion and meet new friends.
