Core Weavers
Where water meets wisdom: reconnecting cycles and restoring balance.
We are a collective of water experts, water workers, somatic therapists and holistic practitioners. Together, we weave the deep work of healing the inner waters—our emotions, bodies, and spirits—and the outer waters—our planet’s lifeblood. The current core team are primarily women from a myriad of backgrounds and locations including Egypt and wider Africa, Lebanon, Jordan, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, England and Ireland.
As well as this, we are bringing together scientists, conservationists, practitioners, water stewards and artists from around the world to share their expertise, creating cross cultural pollination of information and inspirational art as call to action.
