" Water sustains all."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Our Vision

Our vision of water has its genesis in "Sensitive Chaos" by Theodor Schwenk where waters more hidden nature is so elegantly told.

Water is the midwife of life; it is the lifeblood of the Earth. Wherever it is, through its presence, it creates spaces and environments for the creation and sustenance of life. Where there is no water this possibility ceases. Water is a mediator, a balancer between extremes and contrasts – it dissolves what it solid and brings together substances to form new compounds.

It strives to be chemically neutral between acid and base; it serves buoyancy between gravity and levity. Water is a bridge builder, crosses boundaries, is open and serves all life selflessly, ready to refresh, to heal, to purify, or to give solace. It does not discriminate. Every living being drinks it. Every living creature has a right to it. It cannot be made separate and owned because it is by its nature intimately and selflessly connected to all things.

What are the conditions needed for water to do its tasks?

In order to do its work of creating opportunities for and sustaining life, water needs certain conditions. Healthy water has remarkable capacities that allow it to serve life. It loses its capacity to do its work and becomes unhealthy when these conditions are not met.

Water Points

Water serves life through processes of change, forming and rhythm. Water achieves this through its capacity of movement.

In order to allow water to reveal the wisdom, science and sanctity that nature has already given it, we study water in its healthiest state. Only this positive picture of water allows us to reach the comprehensive understanding of this universal, and universally needed, substance.

  • Through the proper understanding of water and its needs, there arises the possibility for governments, at all levels to create water policy that reflects the nature of water itself without mistakenly imposing life-degrading forms upon it.
  • It is possible to find appropriate and workable models for the policy-forming process in the natural behavior of water itself. Water’s capacity for mediation, for binding and dissolving substances and bringing about transformation can serve as an important example for policy makers trying to satisfy many conflicting interests and priorities.
  • When conservation, management and policy formation strategies are based on knowledge of the conditions water needs to serve life on Earth, we can bring health to the environment and to Mankind, physically, socially and spiritually.
