Literary Exploration and Collaborative Study: "Braiding Sweetgrass"

Join us for a collaborative, cooperative gathering to explore the ideas discussed in the book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This study group will meet for four sessions. Each participant recieves a sweetgrass plant! 

Schedule:

• June 27th

This engaging read eloquently weaves together Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants. It is a nonfiction book about the role of Indigenous knowledge as an alternative or complementary approach to Western mainstream scientific methodologies.

This textural analysis brings cohesion and intention to the reading experience. We invite you to consider how we can bring the wisdom of Braiding Sweetgrass into our culture.

Concepts for exploration:

• How we see ourselves and others
• Reciprocity and gifting
• Mutual flourishing
• Nature (is it property or a gift or ?)
• Learning the language of animacy or how we listen to nature and nature listens to us
• How small rituals might root us and balance our lives
• Our rights & responsibilities in nature & society
• Balancing intuition and information
• and so much more!
