Hello my relatives!

This Saturday we will start in the greenhouse and end in the classroom (95 degrees? October 5th? Aiyiyi). The greenhouse portion will be hands on, so DO plan to get your hands into some dirt, but otherwise no prior preparation is needed on your part.  

For the classroom, however, we're going to tackle bits from the chapter "Learning the Grammar of Animacy". Kimmerer explores here how a language can to take us into a whole world view. What if everything around us was alive? In motion?  What if everything around us was sacred? 

"But Molly! I don't have time to read a whole chapter before Saturday!" Try listening instead?

I believe in you! See you Saturday, 
Molly
