If you want change: Make Some Waves!
WaterPathways will be, with your involvement, a cooperatively run online community dedicated to the celebration and preservation of one of nature's most important gifts to humanity: clean water.
Our public launch will be in the early fall, but until then we're forming our first community steering committee to help our core crew manage the site.
We are seeking writers, teachers, researchers, organizations and individuals committed to a collaborative approach to create a more sustainable and peaceful civilization.
Join our website and apply to be on the pre-launch steering committee.

The Social Web - A New Tool For Activism
The social web offers tremendous opportunities for collaboration, organization, and education.
To quote Pete Seeger:
"The agricultural revolution took thousands of years. The industrial revolution took hundreds of years. Now, the information revolution is only taking decades. And, if we use it, we all use it – who knows what miracles can happen.“
This quote is at the very heart of WaterPathways.
WaterPathways Inspiration
Our community development framework has been inspired by a number of individuals and organizations with whom we hope to partner.
• Integral Theory & Spiral Dynamics – an approach to personal and cultural evolution – already successful in the creation of South Africa.
• Sacred Activism – an approach focused around compassion and the creation of support groups called Networks of Grace.
• Noetic Sciences – leading-edge research into the potential and power of consciousness—including perceptions, beliefs, intention, and intuition.
• The Power of Now – the purpose is "to play its part in … the transformation of human consciousness," by acting as a catalyst to those who are ready for a radical inner transformation.
Help to Create Community
WaterPathways is an online community where people can meet, talk about water issues, build a community, and accomplish real world goals.
Our Facebook-like community system offers tools for the creation of any number of special interest groups, blogs, personal pages, photo galleries, and a calendar for event integration.
Help to preserve, restore, enhance and ultimately fulfill the needs of present and coming generations of a global community.
