I’ve had numerous friends recommend Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Here’s just one of the many wise quotes in the book, “Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
We know there are plenty of titles missing from this list. Please let us know if you have any recommendations. Thanks also to James Lovell, Colleen Echohawk, Jessica Werner, Lauren Brown, and Dr. Bonnie Duran for reviewing and giving input.
