Calling all lovers of the Ohio River! This Friday, June 9, 2017, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Harris River Front Park near the boat ramp
The Marshall University Native American Student Organization (MU-NASO) will lead a Water Ceremony (blessing of the Ohio River) this Friday, June 9, 2017. Please join them, OVEC and others in a collaboration for this year’s Global Earth Exchange, a project of Radical Joy for Hard Times.
“The Earth gives generously! The Earth Exchange gives us a chance to give back!’
OVEC and the Radical Joy for Hard Times received an invitation from the Marshall University Native American Student Organization (MU-NASO) to participate in their Water Ceremony for the Ohio River this Friday, June 9 as part of the Global Earth Exchange. Global Earth Exchange will be happening across the nation and globe in June, primarily on June 17, but any day is a good day to bring beauty to a wounded place! Indeed our wounded Ohio River is in great need of beauty and healing as the most polluted river in the country. This great river serves as a water source for more than 3 million people.
See below for details, and please read carefully and follow the instructions below if you plan to participate:
