Guardians of the River: Walk & Talk, guided by Nore Vision’s Maura Brennan, will see river stories, conservation insights, and community wisdom flow together as we walk along the River Nore. Through ritual, story exchange, and a Council of Waters, we’ll listen to the river as a sentient being, set heartfelt intentions, and explore collective actions to care for life-giving waters.
All workshop attendees are welcome to join a traditional music session and Community Pot Luck Dinner from 6PM in the Otter Bar.
This will be an outdoors event – Please dress for the weather, whatever it may bring!

She leads projects in community seed saving, forest school, nature connection and place-based learning programmes. She is CEO of the Acorn Project, a non-profit organisation delivering nature based learning and wellbeing programmes that empower communities to take action in ecological restoration through reconnection with their local wild spaces.
