Thank you to everyone who joined us for the inaugural Gather at the River Celebration. We were honoured by the outpouring of support and delighted by a wonderful day of fellowship. Thank you to all the volunteers who made the day possible. A special thanks to Bronwyn and Brianna for sharing their beautiful music and to Heather Eaton for sharing her wisdom and insight. Many requested the text from Heather’s river presentation and the river sayings from the water ceremony and she has graciously shared them with us.
