Call 2 Action – Worldwaterday – River whispers.
Dear friends of water,
For World Water Day on 22.03.25 we, the Okeanos Stiftung, the AVE Institut, Wavesofaction and me, Anoosh Werner from the Blue Community Neustrelitz, Germany, are planning the first river whisper, in which everyone can participate.
All information in detail here as PDF (German) Flussgeflüster_Weltwassertag2025 and in short form below in English. Feel free to share with networks and/or friends and family.
We would be delighted if you would like to join in and whisper with us for a cultural change.
From the heart
Anoosh
🌊 RIVER WHISPERS 2025 🌊
“The river is everywhere at once, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry house, at the whirlpool, in the sea, in the mountains, everywhere at once, and that for it there is only the present, not the shadow of the past, not the shadow of the future.”
– Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse
Hesse’s words remind us of the timeless wisdom of the river, which reveals the essence of life in its stillness and immediacy. But how rarely do we really engage with this kind of presence in everyday life?
Our everyday lives are loud and full of distractions. Silence becomes a rarity – or we immediately fill it with our cell phones. But perhaps it is precisely this silence that we are missing: silence is not empty. It is powerful. It allows us to perceive life more consciously, connects us with ourselves & with others. It invites us to see with new eyes.
🌱 For World Water Day, we invite you to the River Whispers.
A place to hear the water. To feel the silence. To listen to what is created.
