📙 Better Future Club Book Club May Meetup: Ancestral Future + The Serviceberry

Curious about joining Better Future Club? Click here to learn more.

👋 Join Us!
Join us the second Sunday of every month for our book club meet-up, where we discuss a shared reading, have fun, and expand our collective imagination.

📙 Current Books: Ancestral Future | The Serviceberry
At our May meeting we will discuss two (short) books with complementary themes:
Ancestral Future, by Ailton Krenak: A collection of Brazilian activist philosopher Ailton Krenak's essays about time, consumption, and our relationship with nature.
"If there is a future to imagine, it is ancestral, because it is already present." Ailton Krenak, Ancestral Future
➡️ You can order a copy here or here.
The Serviceberry, Robin Wall Kimmerer: In her follow up to Braiding Sweetgrass, she uses the Serviceberry plant as a metaphor to explore Indigenous wisdom, ecological science, and a gift economy based on reciprocity.
"When we speak of these not as things or natural resources or commodities, but as gifts, our whole relationship to the natural world changes.” Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberrry
➡️ You can order a copy here or find a copy/audiobook at the LAPL.
Read one, both, or just roll up to the North Fig Bookshop to expand your mind with some indigenous wisdom.

✨ Community Vibes
Come with a growth mindset, we’re all learning.

Respect and kindness are key.
