Where Stories Flow
Water Wars (how to avoid) happens wherever people are willing to get their boots muddy together. River walks, farm-to-table meals, unexpected conversations—we show up where the real work gets done.

Three gatherings. Three parts of the river. One mission: build trust and a shared story by experiencing the watershed together.
