Heart & Mind Festival Presents a Spring Equinox Celebration: Masters of the Waterways: A tribute to the Canarsie People of Brooklyn with Algonquin Author Evan Pritchard

Saturday, March 22, 2025 | 2-7pm | GoldenDrum.org

As the seasons turn and the light of spring awakens the earth, we invite you to gather in harmony, peace, and unity for the Spring Equinox Celebration. In a ground-breaking multi-media presentation, Evan Pritchard will share original historical maps of our region and excerpts from his research into the lively Canarsie Nation and the Wappingers people they were aligned with. He will reveal the complex cultural landscape that is buried beneath the cement of modern-day Brooklyn, its pathways, waterways, and villages.

Before the presentation, Laura Murtagh will guide a yoga and meditation session with live music from Matt and Hillary Love Canale. Afterward, enjoy a heart-opening cacao ceremony led by Dream Seed and members of Golden Drum.

This sacred gathering will guide us in aligning our hearts and minds with the rhythms of nature and the spirit of renewal. We will celebrate the balance of day and night, the awakening of new possibilities, and the deep connections that unite us all. Full event details here
