Together we will read "The Serviceberry Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World" by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This beautiful compact book is like a seed. A seed carries within itself everything necessary to live and transform into something utterly unrecognizable. Within a seed's compact outer coating lies the entirety of the plant being the seed will become. So it is with "The Serviceberry," contained within the beautiful cover of the book lies everything the dominant culture in our world needs to entirely transform.
Together over 3 weeks we will read the book and discuss and explore three key topics:
Week 1: Relationship
Week 2: Extraction
Week 3: Reciprocity
The purpose of this community book club is to come together and ask ourselves at this powerful moment in human history: How to we learn to love the natural world? How do we give back? What does it mean to live in right relationship to ourselves, each other and all of the living beings of the earth?
"The Serviceberry" is a tiny book, but it contains within it the seeds of a world ready to be sprouted.
Come join us!

Flags of all the nations are flying from the ceiling while the stage and dance floor have been host of hundreds of famous and upcoming acts, artists and events to the delight of tens of thousands of fans and attendees. Known throughout California and Mexico for its exterior murals celebrating Egyptian, African and Indigenous Cultures, the WorldBeat Center is leading as one of the most-important multicultural art and event centers in San Diego.
