Beyond The Book: Sustainability Discussions (Pt 3)
About the event
*This event was created by three people exploring sustainability — from science and economics to sociology, philosophy, and even spirituality. We would love to read, learn, exchange ideas, and explore practical actions together.* *In other words, this is a space for curiosity, not expertise.*
📚 This session This month, we will be reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer — a book by a Native American botanist and professor that explores indigenous knowledge as a complementary approach to Western science to offer a richer understanding of our relationship with the natural world.
We’ll begin with a short presentation summarizing some of the book’s main themes, and then move into an open discussion. To support a thoughtful and well-rounded conversation, feel free to bring articles, videos, or other materials related to the topic.
💬 Who is it for?
• Have you already read the book? Please join and share your thoughts. • Haven’t read it yet? You are still very welcome to join. If possible, we recommend reading at least some parts beforehand. • No access to the book? Feel free to reach out to the organizers — we’ll be happy to help. You can do this by using the “Contact the host” button on the event page, under the host details.
🌍 Our intention We want to create an open, inclusive, and reflective space for conversations about sustainability. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background, education, or level of knowledge.
