A Year at River Cong

A Year at River Cong is a site-rooted extension of the LifeWays practice – a slow, attentive journey through a single landscape as it shifts and changes across the seasons.

For twelve months, I will return to this river again and again, listening to its rhythms, tracing its textures, and witnessing the subtle ways light, weather, movement and memory gather along its banks.

This is a place-based inquiry into belonging, presence and ecological remembrance; a year of living with the river as teacher, companion and mirror.

Alongside this attentive practice, I will spend time listening to the wider life of the river – its ecological health, its histories, and the people who live in relationship with it. Through conversations, local knowledge and quiet observation, this project will explore creatively what it means to care for a river’s well-being.

If you live near the River Cong and would like to share stories, knowledge or reflections, I would love to hear from you: anna7king@gmail.com
