Fostering Love for Rivers Through Experiences

At our core, we are adventurers. We organize group trips to breathtaking rivers worldwide. We host social events for river enthusiasts to connect. And we celebrate these wonders through artistic expressions – wearable art, books, posters, and more.

The Flowing River Mission

Our ever-growing collection, which now includes water from giants like the Nile, Mekong, Missouri, and Yangtze, serves as a constant source of inspiration. With the help of dedicated volunteers and freelancers, our mission to connect people with rivers continues to flow forward.

OUR HISTORY

A Lifelong Passion for Rivers

Our story begins with a man, a passion for travel, and a growing collection of something extraordinary: river water! For over two decades, our founder embarked on journeys around the world, all the while gathering samples from these majestic waterways.

From Personal Collection to Shared Wonder

Initially a personal pursuit, he shared his collection with loved ones. To his surprise, their reactions were a mix of awe and strong support. It sparked a question: “Why are people so captivated by this?”

Recognizing a Disconnection

The answer struck a chord. In our modern world, particularly developed nations, the connection to rivers has waned. Their inherent value, both spiritual and recreational, seems to have faded. This realization became the seed of River Mixer™.
