Episode Details

In today's episode of Bloom with Tina and Kelsey, Tina and Kelsey describe their recent experience listening to a lecture by Robin Wall Kimmerer at Bowling Green State University. Dr. Kimmerer combines her knowledge of botany and indigenous culture in her writing of "Braiding Sweetgrass", and how it applies to society and our relationship with the natural world. They explore the themes of reciprocity, gratitude, and the importance of forming a connection with the earth and the food that nourishes us. The book also introduces the idea of using the word "ki" and "kin" instead of "it" to describe living beings, such as plants and animals. Embrace small steps towards a closer relationship with the earth. Tina and Kelsey encourage you to read the book for a deeper understanding of this episode.
