What’s it all about for you? This evening is a coming together to negotiate the relationship that we have with our water. Come out, come in and warm up with a cuppa and something sweet at the Umi Café. We will have some folks coming that will let us in on the traditional ways of healing and communicating with the Water Spirit. Slammin’ urbanite wordsmiths will share the word on water. And we invite you to come up to the mic and share what the water is speaking to you in your soul.
As children we all remember sticking out your tongue and feeling the snowflakes or the rain landing on our tongues. Remember the feeling just standing there allowing the snowflakes just fall all around you or the water to just soak you.
Let’s talk to each other about how we can make it possible for the next seven generations to have these memories too. Let’s talk about it now so that they too can go camping with their children, go fishing and fry up their catches for dinner. So that they can even take water from the lake, drink it and live. Let’s talk about how we can come together in relationship with one another to make our vision the future.
