Join us for a light-hearted gathering as we discuss big ideas found in the book “The Serviceberry” by Robin Wall Kimmerer facilitated by Claudia Cunningham. We will spend our time together contributing to one another’s ideas on:

What is a Gifting Economy and how does it work?
What is the real deal with Reciprocity and Mutual Flourishing?
How do we speak the “Language of Animacy”?
How does Honorable Harvest work for us?

Claudia will briefly outline each concept and facilitate an open discussion about these principles. As we talk together, we will clarify our ideas and imagine a framework for these principles in action in our culture.

This program requires advance registration to ensure appropriate planning.
