Book #17: Healing Grounds
Finding renewal in our roots.
Hi friends! This is Book Club for the Planet, an online community for us to read about the climate crisis in community.
UPDATE: Meeting for this book is postponed until January 2023.
It’s our final read of 2022! Capping off 2+ years of book club, wow.
With so much stress packed into the holiday season, I’m trying to end our year with something lighter. As we ease into winter, we’ll look to Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farmers who are reviving their ancestors' methods of growing food in Liz Carlisle’s newest book, Healing Grounds, that came out this past March. While regenerative agriculture can be, at its most basic, a form of carbon capture and sequestration, it can also be a source of much deeper community and ancestral healing.
Everyone is welcome to join our book club meet-ups, whether you’ve finished the book or not, and to engage in whatever way feels right to you. Maybe you’re coming to connect with others and work through these questions with a sympathetic sounding board, or maybe you’re coming to learn in a listen-only mode. You are welcome here! Our meetings last for 1 hour, but it’s totally ok to come for the first 30-45 minutes if that works for you.
For those who are new to our meetings, here’s how it works:
A few days before our meeting, I send out a separate Mailchimp newsletter with a Zoom registration link. Please register so I can plan appropriately for the size of our expected group. If you have unsubscribed to that newsletter (life happens and my email inbox perpetually has over 5,000 unread emails in it, so I get it!), please also make sure to unsubscribe to this Substack as well so I don’t accidentally re-subscribe you to the Mailchimp newsletter when I’m updating the lists every other month.
That’s it, for now! Happy reading!
