Introduction, Workshop 8: Gather to Celebrate, in the Gather the Spirit Program
(In) the early '60's I realized that the world was being turned into a poisonous garbage dump. By the time the meek inherited it, it might not be worth inheriting. — Pete Seeger, folk singer and activist
You can't expect people to fight for a cleaner river unless they learn to love it. — Pete Seeger, folk singer and activist
This workshop lifts up the water stewardship and public education efforts of folk musician, activist and Unitarian Universalist Pete Seeger with a story about the sloop Clearwater , which sails the Hudson River in New York . Clearwater serves as an example of the impact of group action and, along with the workshop's suggested use of music, highlights that working together in stewardship of Earth's resources can be fun. Participants write letters to themselves pledging specific actions of stewardship and/or to promote equitable sharing of Earth's water resources. The River Scene is completed with the addition of paper-constructed boats.
