Our summer book study on Robin Wall Kimmerer’s bestseller Braiding Sweetgrass continues this week with our discussion of Sections 3 & 4 of the book, Picking Sweetgrass and Braiding Sweetgrass.
The themes of reciprocity and a gift economy from the first two sections evolve in the chapters we’re discussing this week. We’ll also dig into Kimmerer’s explanations of how the earth and plants can provide a blueprint for human thriving.
Please join us this Sunday, Aug. 3, in the Virtual Theology Pub powered by Zoom to share your thoughts and insights!
