music: The Water Blessing Song by Nalini Blossom

This project is part of a collaboration with La Llanterna in Torello, Spain. Two groups of artists in Spain and Hungary came together to explore the elements of water and stone through movement, music, photograph, film and poetry.

Budapest and Torello, like so many of our settlements, have been built on riverbanks, and the rivers run like veins through the city, bringing life, energy, peace, and sustenance. We depend on our rivers for irrigation, power, commerce, and transportation, but may forget to slow down to appreciate them as living systems. By coming to the river to listen with all of our senses, we both give and receive energy. We can foster our own wellbeing and also the wellbeing of the river.

You can also help the wellbeing of our rivers! Join us between the 22nd of April (Earth Day) and the 8th of June (World Ocean Day) to help clean up our rivers! Find out more here .
