Book:
Braiding Sweetgrass, by Robin Wall Kimmerer

As a botanist, Robin Wall 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 Braiding Sweetgrass, 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).

Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth and learn to give our own gifts in return.

This beautifully written and inspiring book is back by popular request. Make new friends as you join us in meaningful discussion.

Zen is our practice of inquiry into unobstructed clarity about the nature of ourselves, others, and the world. But there is also the question of what we DO with this life and how we conduct it in the day-to-day challenge of responsibilities, relationships, and livelihood. Join CZC Resident Teacher Myo Wol Soen-sa for conversation looking into what makes life work well. Myo Wol will bring a tool or concept from dharma practice or his professional role as a wellness and life coach to initiate discussion. No preregistration or suggested donation. Just show up!
