Book Club: "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Join us for a new book club kicking off in July! Copies of "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer will be available in the Wilkinson Center beginning Sunday, July 19. On Sunday, August 23, after the 10:00 a.m. service, we will gather in the Wilkinson Center to discuss the book.
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).
A poetic celebration of indigenous wisdom, scientific inquiry, and our reciprocal relationship with nature's gifts.
