The author recounts sacred creation stories and rituals—such as the Skywoman Falling myth and the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address—that center gratitude\, kinship\, and reciprocity as guiding principles for sustainability. \nKimmerer argues that the path forward lies in integrating traditional ecological knowledge with scientific methods. The practices of sustainable harvests\, listening to “plant languages\,” and heeding the Windigo myth’s warnings against overconsumption offer a pathway to restoring balance between humans and the natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis group meets on Zoom from 6 – 7pm.\n\n\n\n\n\nCathy Riggsbee and Kathleen Wood will be heading up the SOM discussion group. \nContact Cathy at 828-550-3812 for more information. \n  URL:https://creativethoughtcenter.org/calendar/som-braiding-sweet-grass-by-robin-wall-kimmerer-thurs-6pm-24/ LOCATION:Creative Thought Center\, 449-D Pigeon Street\, Waynesville\, Haywood\, 28786\, United States CATEGORIES:Discussion Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260213T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260213T200000 DTSTAMP:20260530T035038 CREATED:20251104T164907Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251104T164921Z UID:23143-1771005600-1771012800@creativethoughtcenter.org SUMMARY:Sip & Share - Kim Walzer 2nd Friday 6:00 - 8:00pm DESCRIPTION:For a lovely evening to enjoy our CTC family community as we nibble on finger foods\, sip on beverages and share our hearts! \nThis is a “Get-To-Know-You” social where our monthly guest speaker could share anything from their life’s travels\, an uplifting story\, a  bevy of laugh-worthy jokes\, a Q & A\, or where they came from and how they got to the Creative Thought Center.  Something new and different to look forward to each month! \nOur evening will commence with a Social Hour followed by a Sharing from our Guest Speaker. \n\nTea\, coffee\, hot chocolate\, and spring water will be provided by our Center.  Feel free to bring wine for your own personal use.  No hard alcohol please.\n\n\nBring an hors d’oeuvre… something snacky to share\, or leave a love offering for CTC.
