By engaging the process of photography with intention and awareness as both observer and creator, we gain the ability to bridge our internal and external worlds replacing unwanted patterns or perspectives with feelings of wonder, awe, and gratitude, all while tapping into and unlocking a vast well of creativity, wisdom, and intuition within us all.

Circling through time and space, sound transports us from the whispering of bulrushes to the rush of a saxophone blast, from the racket of a passing train to a groove drummed on a fallen log. Wander the Humber / Cobechenonk river valley as you listen to over 40 tracks — from plant medicine, ecology and architecture, to soundscape and song. **riverMOUTH** is inspired by water and our desire to nurture sustainable, life- giving connection to the planet. **Look & Listen** Be aware of your surroundings. Cyclists travel at high speeds along the paved recreational trail. Walking paths may be steep, slippery or uneven. Beware of [poison ivy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicodendron_radicans) and [cow parsnip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracleum_maximum). If you come into contact, wash with soap and water and cover the area. Once home, check yourself for ticks and follow [City of Toronto health guidelines](https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-programs-advice/lyme-disease/).
