EARTH WALK: Embracing our Planet, Action For A Sustainable Future
EARTH WALK is a monthly event that brings together Earth-loving individuals, families, and even our furry friends to get-up, stand-up, and walk to show our love for planet Earth and concern for the environment. Our goal is to shine a spotlight on our collective stewardship of the Earth and inspire positive action towards a sustainable future, and to have fun doing it!
EARTH WALK isn't just a walk; it's a transformative experience. The casual urban walk provides a counterbalance to the everyday stress and eco-anxiety we face, offering a safe space to connect with like-minded individuals. And it's free! Free of charge, judgement, and negativity, open for everyone to walk in the name of love for our planet.
Before the walk, we gather at EARTH WALK BASECAMP on 4th Ave & Catherine St in Kerrytown, Ann Arbor. This vibrant corner is where it all begins, it’s a place to gather before the walk, make a sign, meet a friend, and get-in-the-groove with the solar-powered house band… "Mary and Huz Band". Basecamp is a place to just-chill-out during the walk, and a place to get energized and plugged-in to your community after the walk with insightful guest speakers, roundtable discussion, and public announcements. And you just never know what cultural extravaganza or impromptu performance/art/presentation may transpire while at EARTH WALK BASECAMP.
But that's not all… stick around for DJ Jojo's perfectly purple dance mix, a surefire way to get your mojo working and send you on your way with your spirits in flight!
