At Ease: Art and Nature for VeteransAt Ease Book Club: The Serviceberry, by Robin Wall Kimmerer
As Indigenous scientist and author 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 Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? As Veterans and military community members, we will explore how these questions and ideas impact the author, ourselves, and our community.
This virtual book club will meet weekly on Zoom on Tuesdays from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm on September 16th and 23rd. Books are provided. Please provide your phone number and address so the book may be shipped to you.
Brushwood Center will also have an in-person Nature Book Club meeting open to all on September 26th for The Serviceberry as well.
