What a night! 🌟 Last month’s Lakmahal StorySLAM brought together 9 fantastic storytellers who took us on a rollercoaster of emotions from absolute laughs to poignant moments.

Huge gratitude to every speaker who shared a piece of their world with us, and to our audience judges for doing the heavy lifting with grace and humor! You all made the evening vibrant and lively.

Book summary:

As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings are we capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learning to give our own gifts in return.
