Parable of the Sower

 
 
 

Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower is a groundbreaking text about a slow apocalypse in which we follow a young Black girl named Lauren Olamina as she survives the deterioration of all she’s known while seeding a new destiny for humans: to take root amongst the stars.  

Please join us as we move chapter by chapter through the New York Times bestselling text, learning together what we need to attend to and practice as we face our own era of crises and change. 

We are so grateful to Jess Pinkham for transcribing the Octavia’s Parables podcast for season 1. Individual episodes will be uploaded soon, and you can read the transcripts for all episodes here.
