Wisdom for Economic Ecosystems . . . .

Rains that fell far up the watershed, and months ago, nourish the Navarro River through underground Aquifers and Springs, even when it is barely flowing. We know many of you are struggling; others feel resourced enough.

We ask those of you who can, to be like springs for us, part of our aquifer, so we can share back the gift of water with the many social benefit organizations, non-profits, and you.

What's Real: We have lost 98% of our booked 2020 income. We still have Large Late Spring Facilities Maintenance and Operating costs as well as Overhead for the rest of 2020.

What Is Possible: With your support and our best ideas (so far), you can help us recover income. Help our "flow" so we can be resilient and continue to share this land and water Sanctuary, as we gratefully do.

This Ecosystem here is brimming with Creative, Emergent systems for receiving and giving:
What is being revealed?
How do we grow wide root systems of trust and relationship like the Redwoods?
Deep root systems for strength like the Oaks?

The Navarro River runs through the Anderson Valley's majestic redwoods, sunny meadows and vineyards and then curves at River's Bend to create a still point for contemplation, ecological understanding and deep connection between land and people.
