The Spirit of Water

As untold gallons of oil gush into the Gulf, we are sadly reminded of that
most vital ingredient to all life on Earth: water. Though it covers almost
three quarters of the planet and fills nearly 70% of our own bodies, this
precious and seemingly boundless substance is becoming increasingly scarce
and imperiled. Reckless damming of rivers, wide-scale pollution, and
corporate privatization threaten the free flow of fresh H2O for growing
numbers of people around the world.

At the same time, this ephemeral element possesses magical shape-shifting
powers, evaporating, condensing, freezing and melting in a flux of physical
states. Water summons the lunar, feminine, and intuitive wisdom of
consciousness, with our vast oceans granting us a glimmer into the enigma of
how this life-giving substance came to our planet in the first place.

This month, join one of our 35 Evolver Regionals as they explore the mystery
and history of H2O, the contemporary politics behind today’s “water wars,”
and how we can preserve and protect this critical element for future
generations.
