    Why do we drive thousands of miles just to touch the wooden beams of an author's birthplace?

  4. Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of โ€œThe #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural Worldโ€

    February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    "Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.

    Free. Registration Required."

    About the author:
    "As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberryโ€™s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealthโ€”its abundance of sweet, juicy berriesโ€”to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "
