Come enjoy a playful evening of celebrating the wonder and beauty of queerness in nature.

Inspired byDr. Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian’s book “Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature”. 

Fungi, we learn, commonly have more than two biological sexes—and some as many as twenty-three thousand. Some intersex slugs mutually fire calcium carbonate “love darts” at each other during courtship. Glass eels are sexually undetermined until their last year of life, which stumped scientists once dubbed “the eel question.” Nature, Kaishian shows us, is filled with the unusual, the overlooked, and the marginalized—and they have lessons for us all.

The evening will be gently facilitated through a reading, interactive game, and discussion. No need to have read the book and no prior knowledge expected or required.
