Join NOFA-NH and Seacoast Permaculture for a 4-part Zoom book discussion of: Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane.
Is a River Alive? is a joyful, mind-expanding exploration of an ancient, urgent idea: that rivers are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and law. Macfarlane takes us on three unforgettable journeys with extraordinary people, stories, and places: the cloud-forests of Ecuador, the wounded creeks and lagoons of India, and the spectacular, imperiled wild rivers of Canada. Braiding these journeys is the life story of the fragile chalk stream a mile from Macfarlane's house. With dazzling prose and stories, Is a River Alive? opens hearts, challenges perspectives, and reminds us that our fate always flows with that of rivers.
For our first meeting, please read the Prologue and Introduction. We'll also spend time meeting each other and going over the plan for the series.
SCHEDULE/PLAN: We will meet on Zoom for a facilitated discussion Mondays, March 16, March 30, April 6 & April 20 (4 weeks), 7-8:30pm.
COST: Register here to join us for the first meeting for $15 per person. After that, donations for meetings will be welcomed but not required. You can avoid paypal by sending a check to Seacoast Permaculture, 219 France Rd, Barrington NH 03825 - we both save money this way, too!
The series is facilitated by Seacoast Permaculture & NOFA-NH members who are involved in organic growing, education and social justice movements. The facilitators help the conversation move along, and make sure everyone gets a chance to share.
