Community-by-community, circle-by-circle, people are actively painting a vivid picture of what thriving would like on the other side of any collapsing systems. Generating a horizon of a thriving future is an invitation that asks participants to break through into the poetry and rich description of what they hope could be true in 150 years — beyond any description of collapse, and just at the edge of what they can see and envision.
An indigenous child understands there is no more honorable and important a role than to be a Water Protector. We are in a time requiring many to aspire and act as Water Protectors. Understanding our relationship to water - not just as a consumer of an endless resource - is essential. Without clean water, there is no life. In places where the well-being and future of water and communities are threatened, how may we proactively join in collective action? What is your Water IQ in the place you live? Where does your drinking water come from? How healthy is your community's water and who tends to her well-being? Without water, there is no life. We take up this work to support the flow of life.
