Sustainability Series
Shared meals. Movies and books that inspire us. Conversations that linger. Our new series creates an opportunity to come together with your community and celebrate all that is possible when we work towards a common goal, together.
Potluck & Movie Nights
Every-other month beginning in August, we’ll gather to share a meal and to watch a movie - classic, animated, documentary, comedy or drama - that broadens our view of sustainability.
In the month’s we’re not gathering to watch a movie, our Sustainability Book Club will meet to discuss a carefully-chosen book that reminds us of the work that was done before us, and shows us all that is possible.
Book Club
Our potluck and movie series is made possible with the help of our partners, First Parish of Norwell’s Climate Justice Team and we ask for $5/person for our space rental and other expenses. The Book Club is free but space is limited. Please RSVP for each event you attend.
Join us a one event. Join us at as many as you can attend. All are welcome here.
Upcoming Events
Bring a dish and gather with your community for a meaningful meal and a movie. This month we’re watching “Gather,” a documentary by Sanjay Rawal. Our Sustainability Series offers an opportunity to gather with your community on the south shore for an evening and connect with others. We share a meal together and watch an educational, entertaining, insightful movie. This month we watch GATHER, which documents the growing movement among Native Americans to reclaim their spiritual, political and cultural identities through food sovereignty.
Co-founder of Soul Fire Farm, Leah Penniman reminds us that ecological humility is an intrinsic part of Black cultural heritage. This thought-provoking anthology brings together today’s most respected and influential Black environmentalist voices —leaders who have cultivated the skill of listening to the Earth —to share the lessons they have learned.

“We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect”
