Our April Book club selection is inspired by Earth Day and the many events observing this 30 year tradition of drawing awareness to environmental issues.  Join us for a discussion of Drawdown, an accessible, readable book that ranks solutions to climate change.

Our book club facilitator, Nia Black Belt Krista Hiser, is also a professor in the University of Hawaii system, where she works with faculty to integrate sustainability across the curriculum. Krista says that Drawdown is the most important book on climate change ever written.

To prepare for bookclub, you can watch this video with Paul Hawken.

Renée Tillotson has found the book to be very readable, with helpful pictures and practical applications.

REVIEW OF DRAWDOWN

“…There’s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. ..the public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom.” — David Roberts, Vox

On Saturday, April 21, you might also be interested in joining us for the Blue Line Project 

An exercise to visualize sea level rise over the next 40 years and how it will impact our community. Participants will draw, in chalk, the sea level rise projection from the UH School of Ocean and Earth Science & Technology (SOEST). We’ve seen king tides and flooding right on Queen Street. What does sea level rise mean for our neighborhood?

Nourish your soul in community through insightful, uplifting literature. With our collective reading and conversation, we gain greater insight on the human experience. Join us in March to plot out book possibilities for the next few months, taking our monthly cues from the weekly themes in the Still & Moving Center Almanac.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Our theme for 2018 is derived from the 2018 Still & Moving Center Almanac: The Art of Living.

Led by Krista Hiser, with support from Malia Helela and Renée Tillotson, this book club is a participatory event. Members help by suggesting reading material and sparking conversation at each meeting with personal reflections and initiatory comments and questions. Participants join with an open mind and heart, aligned with John Wooden’s advice: “Listen if you want to be heard.”

The book club meets once a month, Sunday afternoons (generally the last Sunday) at 5 pm. Subject matter can include fiction, essays, biography, poetry, playscripts, scientific or religious or metaphysical texts, and more, dependent on the group’s interest and the alignment with the theme for the year.

Our first book, for January:

“The Art of Living”  aka  “A Manual for Living” by Epictetus (a very small, very practical, readable text by a Stoic philosopher who lived as a slave, was consulted by the wise, and who saw freedom in moral choice as our always-attainable human birthright) Renee’s favorite translation:  “A Manual for Living” by Epictetus, translated by Sharon Lebell. Look for it in our Boutique-E soon!

Our possible second book:

“Elephant Whisperer” by Lawrence Anthony (true story of a man who heroically undertook the protection of a dangerous, will herd of elephants in his animal sanctuary – his art of living in harmony with the animal kingdom as well as human bureaucrats and poachers)
