WATERSPIRIT’s Mission Statement

WATERSPIRIT is a center of ecology and spirituality that informs, inspires, and enables all people to deepen their consciousness of the sacredness and interdependence of all creation with a focus on water as critical in sustaining all life. WATERSPIRIT is sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace.

Core Values

• WATERSPIRIT values education, advocacy, and collaboration in promoting the individual transformation and systemic change needed to sustain water and all life on Earth.

• WATERSPIRIT values the inclusion of all who seek to pursue a spirituality that deepens their connection with Earth and all her systems.

• WATERSPIRIT, rooted in the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching, stresses the importance of the right to clean, safe water for the poor and disadvantaged.

At the heart of WATERSPIRIT is a spirituality that recognizes the sacredness of water and all of nature.

WATERSPIRIT offers programs that include education, reflection, action and celebration which help deepen an appreciation of water, increase understanding of water issues, and empower people to participate in the protection and preservation of water.

WATERSPIRIT has advocated locally, nationally and internationally on various issues including legislation on a "Clean Ocean Zone", opposition to hydrofracking, and support for clean energy policies. The connection between water and climate change permeates WATERSPIRIT's programs and activities.
