We will focus on learning from plants as a path of perception\, connection\, and healing – for ourselves\, each other\, and the planet. We will be exploring the topic through texts (for example Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants\, and Figs\, Dates\, Laurel and Myrhh: Plants of the Bible and the Quran)\, in conversation with guest speakers\, and in weekly personal practice and written reflection. We will learn directly from the plants by participating in outdoor walks in nearby parks and making plant based medicine\, such as salves\, teas\, and tinctures. We hope that students will leave the course with an ongoing relationship with plants that will enrich their life and work. This is a 1 credit guided reading course. \nSchedule (to meet in CEE office or elsewhere to be announced): Wed. February 13th\, 2-4 pm Wed. February 27th\, 2-4 pm Wed. March 6th\, 2-4 pm Wed.

SUMMARY:Marrying Indigenous Wisdom and Scientific Knowledge: Reimagining the Human Place in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer as she helps us rethink\, reimagine and\, renarrate our relationship to the sacred and the natural world. Can the objective\, data-driven approach of science be enriched by non-anthropocentric spiritual worldviews? As a botanist and a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, Dr. Kimmerer draws on both indigenous wisdom and scientific knowledge to enrich and animate our understanding of the natural world. This expansive way of seeing and relating to creation privileges regeneration and reciprocity\, and offers novel solutions for ecological restoration and climate change resilience. \nDr. Kimmerer will be joined in conversation with Union faculty member John Thatamanil\, and Geraldine Ann Patrick Encina\, Scholar in Residence for Union’s Center for Earth Ethics. \n**WATCH video of the event here**\nAbout Robin Wall Kimmerer:\nDr. Kimmerer is a mother\, plant ecologist\, writer and SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse\, New York. She serves as the founding Director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment whose mission is to create programs which draw on the wisdom of both indigenous and scientific knowledge for our shared goals of sustainability. Her research interests include the role of traditional ecological knowledge in ecological restoration and the ecology of mosses. In collaboration with tribal partners\, she and her students have an active research program in the ecology and restoration of plants of cultural significance to Native people. Read More. \nAbout The Insight Project:\nThe Insight Project is a new multi-year program series that explores modern conceptions of theology and spirituality through a diverse array of thought-provoking lectures\, screenings\, performances\, and on-stage conversations.
