In the Pacific Northwest, activists are working towards a regional water alliance to share experience, energy and resources to stop new water bottling plants from opening up.”

Event Information

Mount Shasta is a beacon to the Planet, a renowned eco-tourism destination and center for diverse cultural and spiritual retreats. You are invited to spend a full afternoon in nature, with focus on our water and the interrelatedness of all beings. Water is an issue involving consciousness, values and ethics. Our goal is conscious evolution. Water is Life.

Our keynote speaker is Chief and Spiritual Leader, Caleen Sisk of the Winnemem Wintu, a Traditional California Indian Tribe inhabiting ancestral territory from Mount Shasta through the McCloud River watershed.

Performers and speakers representing environmental groups, including local activists and educators in California, will address various issues surrounding water and planetary drought, with a focus on our current situation in Mount Shasta, in California and the Pacific Northwest.

Join us in sharing, educating and activating to protect this precious life source.
