Upcoming Dates and Selections:

Wednesday, November 8 — Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer (2015)
As a botanist, 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 her NYT bestselling book, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert).
Wednesday, February 21 — Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden by Camille T. Dungy (2023)
Wednesday, May 8 — Better Living Through Birding by Christian Cooper (2023)

Join us for one or all sessions. Participants are asked to register separately for each session.  Register below for November 8th.

Weather permitting, we will sit outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
