"Human conversation is the most ancient and easiest way to cultivate the conditions for change –
personal change, community and organizational change, planetary change."

Current Book Club Selection

Trauma Farm

Title: Trauma Farm:A Rebel History of Rural Life
Author: Brian Brett

Join Brian Brett on an engaging journey through an
eighteen-year-long day in the life of his small mixed
farm on Salt Spring Island. Trauma Farm is an exploration
of natural history, a personal memoir and a series of
inspiring tales about our very real connection with
nature.

Here's an excerpt.

Books – those fertile storehouses of ideas – can inspire conversation and debate. They can also move people to action that can change the world. That's why the David Suzuki Foundation has its very own book club, and you can be a part of it – on your own, with a friend, or in a group.

Benefits of membership

reading guides tailored to each book selection
access to web resources including broadcasts and discussions
opportunities to meet like-minded folks, online and in your community
a chance to seed the beginnings of real, positive change
