The Serviceberry: An Economy of Abundance – Robin Wall Kimmerer


Listen Later

In this episode, we return to one of our most cherished stories: “The Serviceberry,” by Potawatomi botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer. Exploring how we can move away from an economy of scarcity to one rooted in relationship and gratitude, she draws our attention to the gift economies flourishing all around us to affirm that it is entirely within our power to create webs of interdependence outside the market economy. When we find the courage to honor the gifts given by the living world, the outcome, she says, is not only material, but spiritual. 

Read the essay. 

Read the transcript for “Practical Reverence,” our interview with Robin on her latest book, which was inspired by this essay.
