Exploring Sacred Bonds ~ Fairlawn Fall Study with Rev. Jean Ward

Join us in-person or on Zoom to explore the sacred bonds of belonging, relationship and reciprocity through two books:

Braiding Sweetgrass – Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer, 2013

“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”

“The land knows you, even when you are lost.”

“Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.”

The Woman Who Went To The Moon – Poems of Igloolik by Rosemary Clewes, 2017

“… these poems will speak to those for whom body, soul, and naming are not divisible.”
