For this semester’s book club we will be reading Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit by Lyanda Lynn Haupt. This book explores the deep connections between humans and the natural world. Drawing from scientific research, indigenous wisdom, and her personal experiences, Haupt advocates for a “rooted” way of living, being deeply connected to the earth and its ecosystems. It’s a blend of nature writing, philosophy, and spirituality, urging a more mindful, earth-centered existence. Come join, discuss the book, and meet people who are passionate about the same things you are!

Meetings are from 7-8 p.m. in the Visual Arts Building room 102.

We have 10 free copies to give out, and it’s first come first serve. Message Katie Seidal or Garrison Wehrle on GroupMe if you want a book/to be a part of it.
