The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

In a world often defined by scarcity and competition, a different model of abundance and interconnectedness exists. This book explores the profound lessons found in the natural world, particularly through the lens of the Serviceberry tree.

Drawing inspiration from Indigenous wisdom, it examines the concept of Reciprocity, where true wealth is cultivated through the quality of relationships, not through the illusion of self-sufficiency. The natural world operates on a principle of giving and receiving, a stark contrast to economic systems that can harm the very things we cherish.

The Serviceberry, with its generous offering of sweet berries, exemplifies this ethic of Reciprocity in the Natural world. Its distribution of abundance ensures its own survival and fosters a thriving community. This perspective offers an antidote to the fragmented relationships and misguided goals prevalent today, reminding us that mutual flourishing is the only path forward.

As an Instant New York Times Bestseller, this work provides a bold and inspiring vision for reorienting our lives around gratitude and community, guided by the enduring wisdom of the earth.
