Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of “The #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”
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 serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—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.'

Wow, Robin Wall Kimmerer on the Time Magazine list of the 100 Most Influential People in 2025! I see that this news is actually a bit old already, but I had missed it. This is such #goodnews ! Her book Braiding Sweetgrass was the main inspiration for my most performed musical work this year, I named my piece "Becoming Indigenous" after one of the chapters in her book. Her message should be spread everywhere #Robinwallkimmerer #environmental #nature #braidingsweetgrass

Kimmerer’s reminder lands softly but precisely: restoration is empty without relationship. What lasts is the reciprocity we build with place — the ongoing, living exchange that outlives any single intervention.

What a book!!!
Cannot recommend it enough #AllOurRelations by #WinonaLaduke. It was suggested to me once I read equally powerful, #BraidingSweetgrass. Both books tear up 💔 and build something in you.

Dipping back into Kimmerer, Berger, Snyder and Haraway for a thing I'm writing.
I find it weird when people DON'T see the world as alive, as a subject, not an object.
Were you raised to see the world around you as alive, and important, or as something external over which you should impose your will?
