Stories of the Blackwater: Water, Wellness & Memories in Mallow Free event 9th July

 

Water, Wellness & Memories – A Special Community Workshop with WiseWater Academy in Mallow

Mallow Cultural Companions invites members of the community to Water, Wellness & Memories, a unique riverside walk and workshop starting at Mallow Castle grounds on Thursday, 9 July at 11am.

This special event, facilitated by WiseWater, offers an opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, and reflect on the important role that water plays in our lives, wellbeing, memories and communities.

WiseWater's work explores the powerful relationship between personal wellbeing and caring for our water environment. Through engaging and accessible activities, participants are encouraged to deepen their connection with local waterways and the natural world, while recognising how water connects people, places and communities.

During this relaxed and welcoming session, participants will enjoy a gentle walk along the River Blackwater before gathering to share memories, stories and reflections inspired by water. Whether your memories are connected to the Blackwater, a local stream, a favourite swimming spot, or a special place in nature, all stories and experiences are welcome.

The workshop forms part of Cultural Companinos Nature Then & Now, a community heritage project exploring local connections to nature, landscape and place. Participants also have the opportunity to contribute memories and stories to the project, with permission.
