Love The Everglades Movement (LTEM) invites you to reconnect with the sacred landscapes of South Florida. They blend environmental action, cultural preservation, and creative activities to inspire a deeper connection with the Greater Everglades. Through airboat excursions, ecological restoration, and storytelling, LTEM amplifies Indigenous perspectives and empowers individuals to take meaningful action. Whether you're a local or a visitor, LTEM offers space to get involved with in-joying and caring for our land and water.

From clean-ups and LGBTQ+ hikes to meteor shower watch parties, native plant giveaways, murals, concerts, and immersive workshops, they weave activism with art to spark awareness and transformation. Their latest project, Everglades Earth Cycle, merges composting with education, enriching community gardens from Pinecrest to Miccosukee Reserved Lands.

Agua Dulce is a queer, neurodivergent, and transdisciplinary artist, community organizer, and energy worker based in Miami. A proud FIU alum with degrees in Psychology and Art History, their practice bridges ancestral memory, climate consciousness, and spiritual traditions to reimagine our relationships with land, community, and self. Working across sound, performance, sculpture, and healing modalities, Agua creates immersive experiences rooted in care and collective restoration. Their sound healing practice draws from personal and ancestral traditions, guided by mentorship from artist and healer Guadalupe Maravilla, and invites deeper presence, reflection, and connection.
