Cultural Companions invite members of the community to Water, Wellness & Stories from the Mealagh River, a unique walk and workshop taking place in Bantry on Friday, 24 July at 11am.
This special event, facilitated by WiseWater, offers an opportunity to connect with the natural heritage of Bantry Bay and the Mealagh River while exploring the links between water, wellbeing, memory and community.
WiseWater's community workshops encourage participants to discover the powerful relationship between personal wellbeing and caring for our water environment. Through reflection, conversation and shared experiences, participants are invited to explore how water connects people, places and stories across generations. [wisewater.ie]
The event will include a guided waterside walk and community workshop where participants can share memories and stories of the Mealagh River, Bantry Bay and West Cork's rich natural heritage. Whether your memories relate to fishing, swimming, boating, local traditions, family outings, or simply favourite places in nature, all experiences are welcome.
The workshop forms part of Cultural Companions Nature Then & Now, a community heritage project that explores local connections to nature, landscape and place. With permission, memories shared during the event may be recorded as part of the project, helping to preserve local stories and heritage for future generations.
