Inspired by visionary Black woman writer Octavia E. Butler, this summer solstice shared learning space honors the timeless spiritual-political wisdom of her life and work, including the books Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents.

As we appreciate and welcome the warmth and light of the sun during this vibrant season, we’ll explore Butler’s themes of change and growth to reflect on how we can use yoga and environmental/social stewardship to cultivate resilience and adaptability in our daily lives.

Please bring a piece of media (book, sentence/paragraph, image, symbols/objects connected to her stories, and so on) by or about Octavia Butler that you are grateful for.
