The way of the Water…On Earth

What is Water? Why do living beings need it and where does it come from?

All these questions will help you embark on a special Adventure, because The Way of the Water will guide all of you towards an inner journey also. 

Find a Mountain Spring, it doesn't have to be a big one, it can also be a tiny water stream. You will need to hike a little bit and get your hands dirty, wet and probably muddy. Keep into account that the water from any mountain spring can be pretty cold, so be aware of this detail when you plan to take a swim or maybe take a bath, while you take this adventure:)You will have to get creative and play Nature's role, see what it truly means to be flexible, floating around, above and under all obstacles.

First step is to find a spring or water stream, preferably a clean one, so children can also drink from it at some point.

After you found the spring or water stream, you start figuring out where does the water come from (left/right, North/South, East/West - adjust the information according to the age of the group)

After you established directions, here comes the interactive creative part. Each participant must find a way to either stop the water or change it's course, for a small portion of the stream. Any natural materials can be used, from branches, to stones, to moss or any other element available. The most important idea to emphasize here is that rough materials are not always stronger than soft materials...like water:) Water has no rough edges, it is not solid, sharp or dense, like wood or a stone, but still, it gets through all obstacles and keeps going further, no matter what.

Children can work in teams or individual, although we encourage to make teams, so they also learn important skills of collaboration and building something together.
