Revival Walks with Mama Carla Wiley
May 27, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
The Revival Walks bring healing, solace and joy to participants, as facilitators lift up Afro-centric practices in order to rebalance our relationship to the natural world. Join us on the second Saturday of the month (except August) for a journey through Tacony Creek Park in the Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia where we will honor the sun, wind, trees, birds and nature. Mama Carla will share stories illuminating our place in community with one another and with our natural environment. Additional artists will bring their talents to add breadth and depth to the holistic engagement. Participants will also assist in removing trash along the way as an act of reciprocity to this important space.
Join us for one day or the full series below.
