Gwen Kerber’s Spiritual Exploration Group discussion of the book on the 16th will range from feelings that you have about what is happening in the natural world; loss of species, loss of natural spaces, can’t see the stars at night , – to anything in the book that really hit home for you in some way – something that made a light bulb go on, something that you were surprised by, upset by, empowered by. If you want to talk about your own feelings - your own lived experience is more than enough. no need to have read the book for that part of the discussion.
Here is a handout that provides some highlights of the book and the Homegrown National Park website.
Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard by Douglas W. Tallamy
In June, 2024 WHYY’s Marty Moss Coane interviewed Doug on the subject of Creating Native Landscapes (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creating-a-native-landscape-in-your-own-yard/id1667989249?i=1000659054568)
It’s a fascinating discussion of the interaction of insects and birds within the larger context of biodiversity.

The Spiritual Exploration Group meets at 8:30 on the third Sunday in the Social Hall before Meeting for Worship.
SEG provides an opportunity for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings on a variety of spiritually related topics. I has the added benefit that we can hear each other's ideas outside the Silence of Meeting.
