“The ocean is our first mother, and it is from the watery depths of our mother’s womb that we first emerge into this world of light and air. As the oceans rise, so do we. Together, like water, we can move mountains. Like a sudden storm or flood, we can wash away old paradigms, unsustainable ways of living. Like rivers, we can transform the landscapes of our lives. We can heal, nurture, purify, protect, cooperate. Like water moving through the ground we can give life, we can make change.”
~ Yeva Chisholm & Sativa CruzYeva

c. a tendency towards more participatory democracy
d. increasing interest in emotional healing
e. rediscover of the body and its value
