Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is also the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Serviceberry and Braiding Sweetgrass.
This is an exceptional opportunity to hear Robin’s powerful message of a “gift economy,” a shift from capitalism and scarcity toward abundance, much like the humble serviceberry that generously distributes its fruit to the ecosystem around it. Building on the lesson of reciprocity, she writes about humanity’s inextricable relationship to the planet and the deep joy of receiving nature’s gifts and giving back to her with thanks.
Robin lives in Syracuse, New York, where she is a distinguished teaching professor at the State University of New York and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment.
