SUMMARY:Braiding Sweetgrass Reading Circle
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the return of spring\, join us at SET Social for the Braiding Sweetgrass Reading Circle\, a small reading group exploring Robin Wall Kimmerer’s influential book Braiding Sweetgrass. \n\n\n\nMeeting every two weeks from 15 March to 24 May\, the circle invites participants to read and discuss the book together over tea in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Each session will focus on a different section of the text\, beginning with the introduction at the first meeting. \n\n\n\nDrawing on her life as an Indigenous scientist\, a mother and a woman\, Kimmerer explores how other living beings such as plants\, animals and ecosystems offer lessons about reciprocity\, care and responsibility. Through stories that move between ecology\, science and Indigenous knowledge\, the book explores our relationship with the earth and the importance of living in respectful kinship with the more-than-human world. \n\n\n\nThe reading circle will be a space to discuss these ideas together and reflect on how they might influence our daily lives. If gardeners attend\, the group may also explore ways to connect some of the book’s teachings with the SET Social Community Garden. \n\n\n\nOpen to anyone interested in nature\, gardening or anti-colonial perspectives on our relationship with the land. The group will remain small to allow space for discussion. \n\n\n\nTea will be provided. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDates: Every two weeks from Sunday 15 March-24 MayTime: 4.30-6.30pmLocation: SET Social\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham SE15 4NPEntry: Free\, drop-in \n\n\n\nSessions will take place indoors around the tables in the main hall\, or outdoors in the garden when the weather allows. \n\n\n\nBi-weekly schedule\n\n\n\n15 March: Introduction and Chapter 1 – Planting Sweetgrass 29 March: Chapter 2 – Tending Sweetgrass12 April: Chapter 3 – Picking Sweetgrass26 April: Chapter 4 – Braiding Sweetgrass10 May: Chapter 5 – Burning Sweetgrass24 May: Epilogue  \n\n\n\nFacilitator and artwork: \n\n\n\nReading circle facilitated by @jadesrooomPoster artwork by @brog.de.mer \n\n\n\nPlease note: If you would like to join but are unable to purchase the book\, please contact the host at @jadesrooom.

SUMMARY:The West African Literary Circle
DESCRIPTION:The West African Literary Circle invites readers\, thinkers\, and the culturally curious to gather for its new monthly residency at SET Social. \n\n\n\nDedicated to celebrating literature from across West Africa and its diaspora\, the circle is a relaxed and welcoming space for open discussion\, shared reflection\, and community connection. Whether you are deeply familiar with the text or joining out of interest in West African storytelling\, all backgrounds are welcome. \n\n\n\nThe Series: Things Fall Apart\n\n\n\n\nFor our first three sessions\, we will be discussing Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. This landmark novel examines tradition\, masculinity\, and the seismic cultural shifts of pre- and post-colonial Nigeria.

Each session includes focused time to read a specific chapter silently or as a group\, so initial reading is not strictly required to participate. \n\n\n\nThe bar and cafe will be open throughout for attendees to replenish themselves during and after the circle. \n\n\n\nIf you are experiencing barriers to accessing a copy of the book\, the host is happy to email a digital copy to potential attendees. Please reach out via Instagram at @walitcircle to request one. \n\n\n\nEvent details\n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday 2 June (and every first Tuesday of the month)Times: 7-8:15pmLocation: SET Social\, 55a Nigel Road\, Peckham SE15 4NPTicketing: Free of charge.
