The River’s Lament with EcoFaith Recovery
Co-sponsored by EcoFaith Recovery and the University of Portland, the River’s Lament is a seven-station walk along the campus’s adjacent Willamette River, with leaders telling the river’s story as imagined from the river’s perspective. Come join us for this powerful ritual walk during the season of Lent.
Saturday, Mar. 21, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Meet at the Pilot House in the center of the University of Portland Campus.
(The walk is over a mile and involves stairs and walking on grass. Please dress accordingly and for the weather.)
