VOICES OF THE WATER: IMMERSE YOURSELF

Written By Nicole Van den Eijnde

As part of our Voices of the Water project we have come across so many amazing books, films and projects which explore and recognise the importance of water in our lives and on Earth, from which we find inspiration. These have included the importance and sacredness of water linked to different areas, including wellbeing, cultural heritage stories, scientific stories and discoveries and the climate emergency. We share here some of these resources for you to explore and discover as well.

I wake to a bright crisp winter’s day. Finally … after weeks of storms ravaging the country. 


As the year ends we are reminded of the magic and beauty that our gardens bring, as places to come together and celebrate, even in difficult times. This year it has been challenging not to be taken over by fear and despair, with extreme weather events being mirrored in different ways across the world, from floods to droughts; with the most recent political events; with wars destroying land and displacing entire populations; and with the constant increase in the cost of living creating ever more inequalities between those that have and those that do not.
