“The next stage of human economy will parallel what we are beginning to understand about nature. It will call forth the gifts of each of us; it will emphasize cooperation over competition; it will encourage circulation over hoarding; and it will be cyclical, not linear. Money may not disappear anytime soon, but it will serve a diminished role even as it takes on more of the properties of the gift. The economy will shrink, and our lives will grow.”
You are warmly invited to join us for a special two part reading and discussion of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s latest book, The Serviceberry. RWK is a much loved and deeply respected Potowatomi ethnobotanist who weaves together indigenous and western science models in engagine stories that help us understand our place in the living world.
Each session will also include gentle heart meditations and other practices to support our open-hearted and open-minded explorations.
Course dates - Sundays 10am-11:30am (U.K. time)
5th October 2025 - reading pages 1-50 (stopping before “My economist colleagues remind me…”)
2nd November 2025 - reading pages 50-105
Please don’t worry if you can’t attend both sessions. Your participation is warmly welcome when you are able to be with us.

Revolutionary Love Reading Circle is offered on a sliding scale (starting at £0) to make it accessible to all. Your contributions support our work to uplift and inspire others for personal and social change.

The discussion will be hosted by Vishwam Gurudas who has been reading and studying indigenous wisdom, including yoga, for many years. Vishwam is a Heart Minister, Heart Of Living Yoga Teacher and Heart Meditation Facilitator as well as a student of permaculture, healthier relationships and social change. He holds a PhD in sociology from the University of Edinburgh and is much happier as a yoga teacher than he was as an academic.
