Eco-Media Club Our second Eco-Media Club event is coming up on January 13th! This is a membership perk, but the first two are open to the public! On Jan. 13th at 6:30pm, we will be discussing Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer, led by Dr. Jess Watson. Read it on your own, then join our interactive discussion about the book 6:30-7:30pm. Register now for the zoom! “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.” (GoodReads) | |
