Inishowen Connecting Rivers & People
Dear friends & family who are inspired by water,
I’m extending the invite to this “Who’s Who on Inishowen Rivers” event on Wednesday week at the Grianán Hotel’s round room. This is my call for artists, healers, parents, activists, nature lovers, crafts people, musicians, singers, swimmers, grandparents with fond memories of growing up by the rivers, children who like to paddle or play in the mud, spring well carers…. anyone who has cared about water over the years.
Central to my happiness here in Inishowen is the outdoor locations where gatherings of creativity take place. So this is a cheer for the people who make connections with each other in the great outdoors through art projects, adventures by the sea and share quality time over tea made with spring water! And here’s to sharing the inspiration!
Celebrate Water was the community group that initiated the discussions asking the community ‘what is possible?’. A few years later the Bredagh River Walk offers a rich experience to walkers in Moville. Then, the next community project arose and has become the Inishowen Rivers Trust, who now host this event with a newly created post, Community Water Officer. So,… it is poised for us all to come together for this Spring evening gathering at a fine location at the foot of the Grianán Hill.
If you have something to share which demonstrates your care for water then come along and be prepared to share your creations! It’s a whole evening event so there’s time to share and meet and move forward knowing more about who cares for our rivers, sea and lakes. (If you can’t be there and would like to display some art or flyer, get in touch with me – I can try to display your products (or photos of) there if you’d like)
Ar son na h-uisce! For the water! (and the craic!)
