Braiding Sweetgrass – Burning Sweetgrass

Format: Hybrid, 1:30pm @ Senior Center/Zoom (https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82524617784?pwd=NXVVeExscTdpd3ZlY05uTEdvaVNuUT09)

Each BISCC Book group session offers a chance to explore the ideas that inform Braiding Sweetgrass, the second BI READS For Social Justice selection for 2023. You don’t have to have read the book in whole or at all to participate. Participants can ask or answer questions, make observations, or simply listen.

The fifth section of Braiding Sweetgrass, “Burning Sweetgrass”, looks at the way the selfish, destructive spirit of Windigo affects our lives today, and how we might defeat that spirit. If you think of burning as scary or painful, might it also represent change, renewal, cleansing?

In this section there are six essays: Windigo Footprints; The Sacred and the Superfund; People of Corn, People of Light; Collateral Damage; Shkitagen: People of the Seventh Fire; and Defeating Windigo.

Join us in person or on Zoom at 1:30 pm: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82524617784?pwd=NXVVeExscTdpd3ZlY05uTEdvaVNuUT09
