​Join us for our second book club at Hidden Cafe in Berkeley, CA. It is recommended that you aim to complete the book but no worries if you can't! Try and prepare at least 1 question and / or discussion prompt to share with everyone.

​Braiding Sweetgrass, written by Robin Wall Kimmerer is a bestselling book that blends botany, Indigenous wisdom, and personal narrative to explore humanity's relationship with the natural world, focusing on reciprocity, gratitude, and the idea that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. Kimmerer, a botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, uses her dual perspective to advocate for a more respectful, gift-based relationship with the Earth, moving beyond a purely scientific or purely traditional view.
