Reimagining Our Relationship with the Living World
Wednesday, July 29, 2026, 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM

Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass, has inspired millions through her integration of Indigenous knowledge and ecological science. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, marine biologist, climate policy expert, and author of What If We Get It Right? has emerged as a leading voice shaping the modern climate movement. Together they explore how science, community engagement, and storytelling can help reshape society’s relationship with the living world—and how principles such as reciprocity, stewardship, and collective action can guide a more sustainable future.
