Tuesday, December 1, 2020 is Giving Tuesday, a day of charitable giving that helps us wrap up 2020 by making an impact and building the world we want to see. Today also marks the launch of Waterspirit’s Annual Appeal, Pass Through the Waters Together, inspired by this passage from Isaiah 43:2 :
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned,
And the flame shall not consume you.

“We love that the Waterspirit community is rooted in nature’s beauty and gentle rhythms, while also staying attuned to pressing ecological and hot-button issues. To us, Waterspirit is a refreshing mix of environmental activism and sincere spirituality – grounded in ancient Christian tradition while also being open to emerging nature-centered religious expression. Our team: Blair, Abbey, and Rachel are superb teachers and role models for a vision of a kind and caring new society, in harmony with the oceans, prairies, and forests, and striving for equality and justice for all. Waterspirit expresses what we would hope a new consciousness and spirituality might resemble, as we combat global climate change and other threats to our planet’s inhabitants. Plus, Waterspirit’s gatherings are just plain enjoyable and interesting….”
