WATER IS THE ESSENCE OF ALL LIFE.
To understand more of the whole picture of how crucial it is to respect and take care of the deeper reality of our watery body and waters of the Earth. With this awareness we can then begin to make conscious changes for the future, changes which support a more harmonious, healthier sustainable way forward for the health and future of Humanity, the Oceans and for the Earth as a whole.
For our own health and for the health of the Planet, our discovery of our interconnections with water is essential. The Essence of Water creatively inspire's the viewer to discover how connected they truly are to the water's of the Earth, Water being the largest ecosystem of our planet. Discovery of how we all can take better care of the water within ourselves, and of the waters of the Earth, will enable a more healthy integration both spiritually and physically.
There will be information on current ecological issues affecting the waters, the Oceans and Seas.
Raising awareness on Ocean Acidification, which is being caused by the Ocean soaking up C02 emissions that we create individually and collectively throughout our daily lives. Ocean Acidification can and is causing ecosystems and marine diversity to dramatically change. The impact could be substantial, on many levels. As the oceans become more acidic, it will become progressively more difficult, if not impossible for organisms to build calcium carbonate shells and skeletons, to maintain their existence.
By the middle to end of this century, parts of the oceans have been forecast to be corrosive enough that they will cause already formed calcium carbonate to dissolve.
Ocean Acidification could have rippling consequences throughout the entire Oceanic and Planetary ecosystem. Even marine animals that do not create calcium carbonate shells or skeletons may be threatened by the increasing acidity of the oceans. One of the most devastating impacts of rising ocean acidity could be the collapse of food webs.
As ocean chemistry continues to change, the many goods and services they provide could dwindle, forcing millions of people to find new food sources, new homes and new sources of income. Adapting to these losses would take huge resources from the global community and in some cases adaptation would not be possible. The Future of our Oceans is uncertain unless we all take swift immediately.
To understand more of the whole picture of how crucial it is to respect and take care of the deeper reality of our watery body and waters of the Earth, we can then begin to make conscious changes for the future, changes which support a harmonious, healthier sustainable way forward for the health and future of Humanity, the Oceans and for the Earth as a whole.
A smarter future is one where we reduce carbon dioxide emissions, transition to cleaner, renewable sources of energy and prevent the need for such large-scale adaptation. Commitment to respect and nurture the waters of our bodies, and the waters of the Earth’s Oceans as once we acknowledge the deeper truth of the part we all play in the well-being of our own personal health and the health of the Waters of the Earth. Only then can we individually and collectively alleviate some of the environmental stress from ourselves and from this beautiful Earth, we all call home.

The Essence of Water- Save our Oceans Environmental Exhibition
was hosted at The Earth Centre, Devon, by environmental artists and educators Zoe Hudson and Sue Claire Morris. Said Zoe: “It was an evening of current environmental awareness looking at things like ocean acidification and pollution, alongside the paintings representing the delicate nature of water, with art installations, poetry and community conversation on the topic of water and how we can make changes to reduce our Co2 emissions in our daily lives - which can take the current strain off of our Oceans with the hope of the oceans recovering. They also gave out information on the new Environmental Expressive Arts Programme, which aims to engage participants creatively and expressively with the Earth. Article in Reconnect magazine.
