Mutual Aid Monday: Water is Love and So Are You!
Vital Matters’ Mutual Aid Mondays is a series of gatherings that launched on Inauguration Day, 2025, to connect with one another in nourishing and productive ways, and to exchange ideas, resources, tenderness, and care for each other and the communities we care about--particularly those who are most vulnerable at this moment. This feels like the vital foundation for any of the work we do, the art we create or curate, or the battles we help fight.

Water is Love and So Are You, March 24:
Our second offering of 2025 includes a screening of Water is Love, a documentary film about the power of regenerating water cycles and building a culture of care, that is an inspiration for this year's interconnected projects focusing on Water, Community and Care.
Mutuality with the Earth:
A relationship of reciprocity with land, bodies of water, and more than human life forms is foundational to all our work. In asking ourselves how to “become indigneous” per Robin Wall Kimmerer's invitation in Braiding Sweetgrass, we are asking in part, how do we support that which supports us. We must work together to care for our land and water, and to wrest control from corporate power, which takes and takes, without giving back.
We’ll share updates on upcoming events like Whose Earth? (Day), Global Water Dances, and a *new* water-based public art project we are in early planning stages for.
Additional nourishment at this event includes:
-Food and drink
-Somatic practices to ground, center, and connect
-A book swap, for inspiration and information
Ways to participate:
-Just bring yourself and a buddy!
-Bring a poem, song, or reading about a mutual relationship with the earth
-Bring food or drink to share!
-Bring a book to swap
