Deep Hanging Out: Wanderings and Wonderment in Native California: A Zoom Event
October 7, 2021 | 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Join Heyday founder and author Malcolm Margolin and friends for an evening of provocative yet joyful conversation about California’s Indigenous peoples’ resilience, traditional ecological knowledge, and the fundamental cultural changes needed to stop climate disruption. Using Malcolm’s new book —Deep Hanging Out: Wanderings and Wonderment in Native California—as a touchstone, Malcolm and his guests will reflect on lessons everyone can and should learn from Indigenous peoples about achieving genuine sustainability and living in connection to and harmony with our beautiful planet.
Event speakers will include Paul Hawken, Michelle L. LaPena (Pit River Tribe), Claire Greensfelder, and others. This event is cosponsored by Heyday and California Institute for Community, Art & Nature.
