Book Discussion at WESPAC – Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
March 14, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Robin Kimmerer – Book Discussion at WESPAC:
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 acknowledgement 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.
Book discussion: Thursday, March 14th at 7 pm at the WESPAC office located at 77 Tarrytown Rd, Suite 2W in White Plains, NY 10607
