About

Join us to hear Chenoa Egawa, a respected elder from the Lummi and S'Klallam people, explore the spiritual and cultural significance of water. The class will start with a traditional song and an introduction to our shared purpose, followed by the Coast Salish Story of the Salmon People. 

Chenoa will teach participants to connect with and develop a relationship with the living spirit of water.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Chenoa will share how we can connect with water for personal healing.
  • The meaning of reciprocity as viewed through the story of the Salmon People, offering an Indigenous perspective on giving and receiving.
  • The importance of gratitude and emotional connection in your interactions with water, enhancing your understanding of prayer.
  • Ways to rediscover and nurture your intrinsic relationship with water.
  • Simple ways to honor, protect, and remain conscious of water as a fundamental live-giving and healing element.


This course invites you to refine your understanding and interaction with water, deepening your appreciation and responsibility towards this vital element and developing a lifelong connection with the spirit of the water.
