Join us on March 8th for a unique and heartfelt river cleanup in collaboration with the Appalachian Watershed Alliance.
Rooted in both action and intention, Sweat & Tears is a day to honor our waters through physical care and collective prayer.
Event Details:
📍 Final location TBD (Asheville area)
⏰ 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM (Weather permitting)
🎒 Bring: Water, work gloves, closed toed shoes, sun protection
🍽️ Lunch available from Pasta & Prana food truck. $15 Suggested Donation. No one turned away for lack of funds 💛
We will begin the day by creating altars to hold both grief and gratitude, acknowledging the deep connection between our lives and the river’s flow.
As we work together to clean the waterway, spoken and sung prayers will be carried through the air in shared resonance, weaving our voices into the healing of the land.
Local musicians Lillie Lumina, Samara Jade, Katarina Lilly, Josh Fox, Mirna McWilliams, Julie Hatch, and Alana Collins will lend their voices and songs to this collective offering—not as a performance, but as part of the shared expression of reverence and renewal.
We welcome you to bring your songs and prayers to share as well.
Arrive with open hearts, ready hands, and a spirit of deep reverence.
Let’s listen, cleanse, and connect.
