Chapter & Chai: The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer

This month, the Chapter & Chai book club is reading: The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer

📆 Join us on Monday 1 December at 10 AM outside Soulful Spreads Cafe at Tarneit Community Learning Centre, 150 Sunset Blvd, Tarneit. $5 gets us a hot cup of chai (or coffee) and cookie to gather around. Buying this is optional!

📖 As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most?

We encourage folks to read all or parts of the book before attending, but we will also host space for general reflections on the topic. The book is available at the Wyndham Libraries to borrow. Please get in touch if accessing the book is a barrier.
