Just wanted to remind those who haven't heard about our gathering. This stands to be the first of it's kind international permaculture festival where we don't talk as much as we physically dance in the mud to build cob structure that are very needed, but then wash the mud off as we seed the desert with water to create a constructed wetland. Maybe we compost a toilet. If you all can contribute it will give permaculture a huge step into the public conscience. SA
ee you there.

The Great Challenges we now face as a species present the very opportunities that are giving birth to Ecological, Psychological, and Spiritual Sustainability.

The Mission of the Water Woman Foundation: To promote new ways of living in agreement with the principles and patterns of nature through the creation and physical demonstration of art, design & lifestyle practices at the cutting-edge of ecological function and consciousness; To offer opportunities to collectively express our creativity and deep inner connectedness with the Earth; To present ancient & cutting edge concepts and technologies that embrace the intelligence of natural systems; To inspire and empower people to bring this knowledge back home where they can live in ways that are more comfortable, more affordable, more beautiful and more sustainable than ever before.

Submit your art for the Highly Sustainable Functional Art Challenge

Water Woman Art Challenge: As a group of eco-artists it is our goal to set new standards in sustainable art forms which that provide energy, food, shelter, and water systems. By coming together as community, artists, permaculturalists, performers, musicians, natural builders, and motivated students, our structured plan is to go beyond our society's definition of sustainability so we can be self reliant and educate others back home.

In association with the Morongo Basin Art Guild, the Joshua Tree Chamber of Commerce, Desert Springs Chamber of Commerce, Natural Science Collaborative, Boulder Community Gardens, and more!









The Water Woman Festival is an inspiration among all of the creative cultural events that have emerged in the last two decades. The Festival stands out for its on the ground vision. You are way more serious about the ecological vision and systems both socially and environmentally. Water Woman honors the spirit of artistic creative culture-making of the highest order and rides the cutting edge of everything that is happening right now
