i'm mostly anti billionaire-tube, however, this is only available here live today 1pm p.s.t.

"On Friday, 3/20/26, we gather as a movement for our second Plant Circle. We mark the vernal equinox together with poetry, a botany lesson from Robin, and rich conversations with friends.

Our special guest this spring is Sean Sherman, an Oglala Lakota chef, educator, and activist. Known to many as The Sioux Chef, Sean is revitalizing Indigenous food systems across Turtle Island through his cooking, writing, and teaching. Our Plant Circle also features an inspiring conversation with Brooklyn Rewilders about bringing nature’s gift economy into our cities."

I look for doses of sanity to counter all the insanity the political oilygarch classes are feeding us.

An hour of Robin Wall Kimmerer is today's investment in sanity. She's a wonderful speaker.

Highly recommend her books:
Gathering Moss
Braiding Sweetgrass
The Serviceberry

Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of “The #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”

February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

"Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.

Free. Registration Required."

About the author:
"As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "

Human survival has always been interdependent. Other species sustained us materially and culturally — not as resources, but as relations. When we stop to controlling and listen more carefully, a different kind of responsibility becomes visible: responding to what has carried us, rather than assuming exemption from consequence.

Aquest llibre és preciós. Hauriem de recuperar eixa relació amb la natura. Son sensacions que avui en dia no experimentem i és una llàstima.

After the work of unlearning — loosening certainty, questioning habit, letting old reflexes fall quiet — this arrives as a gentler truth.

Being lost isn’t the same as being unheld. Some forms of knowing don’t argue or instruct; they orient us slowly, through relationship rather than explanation.

It's a little annoying that the writers don't know you don't harm certain plants when you harvest from them, but rather benefit them. Should have read some Robin Wall Kimmerer about reciprocity.
