What does it mean to truly belong to a landscape? In her new book, I Sing to the Earth and She Sings Back, ethnobotanist M. Kat Anderson invites us into a more intimate, embodied relationship with the natural world, one grounded in presence, reciprocity, and a reawakening of ancestral ways of knowing.
Building on the foundation of her landmark book Tending the Wild, which transformed how we understand Indigenous stewardship of California’s landscapes, Kat draws from decades of collaboration with Native elders and a lifetime of personal experience as an ecologist and hiker. She will weave storytelling, cultural insight and practical guidance into her talk that speak powerfully to our moment of ecological reckoning and spiritual disconnection, offering a grounded and helpful path to reconnection—one that honors Indigenous wisdom that lies in all earth-based cultures around the world.
Copies of the book will be for sale and the author will sign them.
