Further Details:
We will begin the day of healing the river through a community cleanup of Frenchman’s Bar. There will be a short break for lunch (please pack your own). During the trash art workshop you will be working on community art piece(s) from trash collected at beach cleanups. The art will then be in an art show at La Casita Art Gallery and Cultural Center.
There will also be an interactive flower offering activity led by Huehca Omeyocan. Huehca Omeyocan will be performing an Aztec Dance and Drumming Ceremony with an Offering of Flowers to the River. This style of dance and music is of the Cem-Anahuac, meaning the Land Surrounded by water where people live entirely together.
