Book Discussion: The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Public Welcome Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation Public Restroom
Please join Wild Ones at green|spaces for a discussion of Robin Wall Kimmerer's new book, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World. Through the practice of asking plants for guidance, the author gathered what the Serviceberry tree has to share about a “Serviceberry economy.”
The Serviceberry provokes questions for discussion, such as:
What do you notice if you consider the world as gift?
How does the Serviceberry tree demonstrate that “all flourishing is mutual”?
What else does the Serviceberry teach us? And what else can we learn through the practice of observing the living world and taking inspiration for human ways of living from its model?
The book is expanded from its original publication as an article appearing in Emergence Magazine. If you don't have time to read the book, please read the article and attend. You can locate the article here: https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-serviceberry/
