Book Night: "Braiding Sweetgrass"

Please join us for an informal discussion of the New York Times bestseller book, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. "A graceful, illuminating study of the wisdom of the natural world, from a world-renowned indigenous scientist," Braiding Sweetgrass is a lyrical and heartfelt book about "the role of Indigenous knowledge as an alternative or complementary approach to Western mainstream scientific methodologies."  

In this first gathering, we will discuss and react to the first four chapters.

Registration is required. Please register here.

The library has a few copies available. We will send more information about local sources for the book soon. Beverages and snacks provided.

Address: Modern Minds  261 Atlantic Ave. Dassel, MN 55325

Presented by Dassel-Cokato Sustainable Living in partnership with Sustainable Farming Association's Crow River Chapter.

SFA staff and volunteers occasionally take photos during our workshops, cafe chats and field days for promotional purposes and to use as documentation of events to share with our funders.  If you do not wish to be photographed, please let our event host know -- we'll make every effort to make sure you are not photographed.
