Fall Book Discussion: Nov. 12
Come join us for a conversation about book starting on Nov 12 after liturgy in the parlor. Books are available for pickup on Sunday Oct 29 & Nov 5. Please read chapters 1 & 2 by Nov. 12
Facilitating the conversation will be Susan Blom and Hume Jameson.
With each generation, we have drifted further and further away from our ability to recognize and connect with the source of our original design. In this modern world, we spend our attention in ways that benefit the powers that be, and not ourselves or the earth. This book's intention is not to teach you to "be Native American," but instead to use the indigenous culture of the Lakota to help you connect with your own indigenous roots and help you remember your ancestral knowing that all beings are divinely connected.
Thinking indigenously centers around three concepts: 1) The way of the seven generations--conscious living 2) The way of the buffalo--mindful consumption 3) The way of the village--collective impact. Author Doug Good Feather, with Doug Pineda, shares the knowledge that has been handed down through his Lakota elders to help you connect with your purpose in life, personal power, and place in this interconnected web with Spirit, Mother Earth, and humanity as a whole.
