Postponed - World Water Day

Hi everyone, we have decided to postpone our World Water Day celebration to assist in minimizing the spread of covid-19.

POWER’s World Water Day Celebration is an amazing opportunity to gather in community to share, heal, and inspire positive action for the well-being of our waters and our Mother Earth.

Now is the time to come together in a spirit of collaboration, hope, and healing. We need each other, Mother Earth needs us and future generations will thank us.

Please bring an open mind, a reusable bottle of water or cup, and a drum if you have one.

Registration is free (donations are welcome).

Honour Water, Honour Mother Earth

Ceremony and Talk with Danny Beaton, Turtle Clan, Mohawk Nation

Danny has been involved in healing and environmental protection for thirty years with his elders. He is a musician, film maker, writer, water protector and climate activist. His wisdom, love, and hope for balance will unite and inspire us. We are honoured that Danny has offered to speak and perform a ceremony with us. We hope that all of you who share a love for Mother Earth will join us.

Connecting To Our Local Waters: Watershed Awareness & Protection

With Brendan R. Smith, B.Sc.

Brendan will share some fascinating details about our unique watershed and help you explore ways to preserve access to good clean water. He will explore different approaches and funding streams (pun intended) for residents, business owners, and farmers in Halton Hills.

Territorial Acknowledgement and Welcoming

With Chantal Garneau, Peace Activist & Meditation Teacher

Chantal will welcome us and acknowledge with a grateful heart the original stewards of the land and waters we call Halton Hills. She will also guide us to reflect on our responsibility to only take what we need, leaving enough for the 7 generations to follow.

Please register as space is limited.

Saunter through the Bruce Trail in Glen Williams and learn some nature inspired meditation pracitces to facilitate a connection to yourself and the natural world.

Be prepared to feel relaxed and energized at the same time.

Max 12 spots. There is no fee for this event as it is part of a monthly community meditation program in partnership with Meditation Instructor Chantal Garneau.  Donations are welcome and optional.

Why Saunter?

Hiking - "I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not hike! Do you know the origin of that word 'saunter?' It's a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, 'A la sainte terre,' 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them."
