The tree at the corner of your block becomes something more than scenery. The world, quite suddenly, feels alive with relationship. This is how her writing impacted Tami, and this week Tami and Robin—botanist, MacArthur Fellow, National Humanities Medal recipient, enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and author of the beloved Braiding Sweetgrass—talk about what it means to move through the world not as a consumer of natural resources, but as a participant in a web of living gifts. Join Tami and Robin to explore: • Why Robin calls this moment in history “the Age of Remembering”—and what humanity is being called to reclaim • The profound difference between a commodity and a gift, and how that shift in perception changes everything • Brain chauvinism—why we’ve dismissed the intelligence of plants, rocks, and the more-than-human world, and what science is now revealing • The landmark sweetgrass experiment that proved humans can be partners to plants, not just threats • How to practice reciprocity with the earth, from small daily acts to systemic advocacy • Plant Baby Plant—Robin’s new movement offering a counter-narrative to extraction culture • How to hold grief, outrage, and love for the living world simultaneously—without surrendering to despair In a time when the relationship between humans and the earth feels broken, Robin Wall Kimmerer offers something rare: a vision of healing rooted in science, indigenous wisdom, and the simple, radical act of giving your gifts back to the world.
