Braiding Sweetgrass Lunch Celebration

Ceremony focuses attention so that attention becomes intention. If you stand together and profess a thing before your community, it holds you accountable.  

Ceremonies transcend the boundaries of the individual and resonate beyond the human realm. These acts of reverence are powerfully pragmatic. These are ceremonies that magnify life. 

—Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

The Indigenous Peoples Institute and the Center for Jesuit Education invite you to a lunch gathering to celebrate next year’s Common Text, Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Let’s take time as a community to engage with this book and to begin thinking about the exciting possibilities it offers for the next academic year!

If you would like to read some of the book ahead of time, you are encouraged to begin with the first essay, “Skywoman Falling.” The book is available as an e-book through the Lemieux Library, and there are also copies available at the University Core office.

The Indigenous Peoples Institute and the Center for Jesuit Education look forward to sharing this ceremony with you.
