“Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants”

By: Robin Wall Kimmerer

“This book is the sweetest expression of listening to nature I have ever encountered. It is an exquisite articulation of the complexity, intelligence, and quiet beauty of the natural world, woven through botany, Indigenous wisdom, and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Written by someone deeply steeped in being, Kimmerer bridges science and spirit with rare grace and clarity. I do not know whether the author has a formal meditation practice, but if she does, it is silence itself. It is presence. It is the devoted act of paying attention to the living world. This book teaches not through instruction, but through relationship, inviting the reader to remember how to listen, how to belong, and how to live in reciprocity with the Earth.”
