Episode 24 - Becoming a loving disciple of water - hydrating yourself through friendship with Isabel Friend
Introduction to the episode.
In this episode we are joined by researcher, activist, educator, health practitioner, and water therapist, Isabel Friend. Isabel’s expertise is bringing modern scientific understanding together with ancient ancestral wisdom. Isabel shares a vision with practical strategies that helps people transform their relationship to water, increasing physical, mental, emotional, and environmental health for all beings. Her online educational space – Water is Life - is an amazing resource for all things water.
In this episode we take a deep dive into the essence of water, and how we all need to fall deeper in love with this sentient being that is the source of life, if we want to better our own health, our environmental health, and uplift our collective consciousness.
If you don’t yet have a deep, rich, and reciprocal relationship with water, if your personal health, your family’s health, or the state of our world right now is important to you, and being an ally of water is not currently part of the conversation, then this episode is an absolute must listen. We hope it inspires you to see that water is life, and how you can become a loving disciple of water.

One of Isabel’s ice hydroglyphs. Before freezing, a piece of coal from the ceremonial fire was placed into the water for 30 seconds… this is the image that appeared.
