Watershed Management Group: Sacred Water Conversation

The beauty of water is that it has so many dimensions, and it is the source of life on our planet Earth. Even before the existence of humans, water was providing meaningful energy for life and creating all kinds of lifeforms and systems for Nature to exist. We are inviting you to a conversation about water and the creation of life as we know it here in the Sonoran Desert. With our guests, you will explore with the ancestral relationships of water-Nature and people. Let’s elevate the bond with water to nurture our desert rivers, our desert communities, and the foundation of life in the Sonoran Desert.   A dialogue with: Doña Josefina Cardenas - Favor Celestial // Pastor Amalia Vagts - Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church // Sr. Austin Nuñez - San Xavier District Tohono O’odham Nation // Padre Claudio Murrieta - Diócesis de Nogales, Sonora   This event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN). The RRN is a program that honors the heritage of our rivers and the value that water holds for the peoples of Southern Arizona. We acknowledge the indigenous communities that have respected and stewarded our rivers for thousands of years and the Pascua Yaqui, Tohono O’odham, and Latino communities that continue to steward the rivers today. Members work together to learn about and steward our rivers through creek walks, restoration activities, river clean-ups, and educational workshops. If you are not yet a member, we will add you to the RRN when you register for this event. Membership is free and includes a regular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
