Salt River Sounds: An Immersive Listening & Creative Writing Experience

​This gathering is an opportunity to slow down, tune in, and experience the Salt River in a new way.

​Through active listening, moments of reflection, and creative writing, we'll explore the river as a source of inspiration, memory, and connection.

​No writing experience is necessary, just a curiosity and a willingness to listen. Join us as we discover how sound, story, and place can deepen our relationship with one of Arizona's most iconic waterways.

​PLUS Rainbow Bliss Botanicals will be creating a special Salt River-themed beverage for this event🍹 Come support this awesome local business that has been holding it down in Tempe for more than a decade! https://rainbowblissbotanicals.com/

​Listen to a 41-minute compilation of recordings along the Salt River from Saguaro Lake to Central Avenue.

​Practice deep listening & being present with the evolving soundscape

​Write a personal reflective piece as you listen - this can be a poem, story, letter, memory, vision, mood board, etc.

​Collaborate on a communal poem about the Salt River
