What can a tree teach us about being human? On Sunday, July 26, 2026, Regla Winterflower Robinson invites us to look at our fingertips, then at the rings of a tree trunk, and discover how deeply our stories are intertwined with the natural world. From hidden root networks that let forests share warnings and nutrients, to the quiet way trees accept one another without judgment, this lecture is an invitation to root ourselves in community. Read on, then go hug a tree.
