This month we hope you can join us as we discuss "The Serviceberry: Abundance and Rec iprocity in the Natural World" by Robin Wall Kimmerer. .\nhttps://pgcmls. libnet.info/event/15091332 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Braiding Sweetgrass\ ," a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitud e\, reciprocity\, and community\, based on the lessons of the natural worl d. As Indigenous scientist and author of "Braiding Sweetgrass" Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds\, she considers the e thic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How\, she asks\, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagin e what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity\, competition\, an d the hoarding of resources\, and we have surrendered our values to a syst em that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile\, the serviceberry&rsquo\;s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity\, int erconnectedness\, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth&mdash\;it s abundance of sweet\, juicy berries&mdash\;to meet the needs of its natur al community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains\, &ldquo\;Serviceberries show us another model\, one based upon r eciprocity\, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships\, n ot from the illusion of self-sufficiency.&rdquo\; As Elizabeth Gilbert wri tes\, Robin Wall Kimmerer is &ldquo\;a great teacher\, and her words are a hymn of love to the world.&rdquo\; "The Serviceberry" is an antidote to t he broken relationships and misguided goals of our times\, and a reminder that &ldquo\;hoarding won&rsquo\;t save us\, all flourishing is mutual.&rd quo\;
