There will be three guided water meditations that focus on dreams gathered by the artist from each respective mountain water source.

Participants will also be invited to journey through their imaginations to connect and commune with these waters as they hold a drop in the palm of their hands.

About the Water Keepers’ Library
The Water Keepers’ Library project invites people from around the world to gratefully gather water which is then incorporated into the Water Keepers’ Library. During an exhibition event, the water is displayed and labeled with its place of origin. Participants are invited to choose a drop of water from the library to hold in the palm of their hands and then take an imaginative journey accompanied by the sound of crystal singing bowls. During these meditations an origin story of water is shared and participants are invited to commune with their chosen water source.
