Description

Celebrate World Water Day at River Park! We will follow South Asian folk-art traditions under the guidance of artists Indira Johnson and Catherine Schwalbe. These traditions, rooted in the ideas of sacred space, the ephemeral nature of life, and the importance of honoring community and the earth, aim to situate the individual within a broader, universal context. Offerings crafted from leaves and flowers are ceremoniously floated in the rivers and seas of South Asia—spanning regions from India and Japan to Indonesia, Korea, and beyond. These acts of devotion express gratitude, seek blessings, and petition deities for life’s many needs. At its heart, this tradition is a ritual of hope and renewal, where the meditative process of creation itself brings Sadhana—or grace. This event is free and will take place at the River Park Boathouse.
