EXPLORING THE WUN HOME HARBOR COMPLEX
WUN HOME HARBOR CONNECTS KEY ELEMENTS
If you're coming to this WUN HOME HARBOR from one of our Partner Platforms, welcome! We are excited you have join us!
This entire website complex is considered the 'HOME HARBOR' of the WATERUNITY NETWORKS Organizational Framework. It is also known collectively by the 'WUN' acronym as short hand for the entire WaterUnity Networks/WUN constellation.
Specifically, this HOME HARBOR page is our Command Central Hub — it is the heart of the whole system. This page allows easy access to the relevant data, tools, curriculum and resources within WUN itself and to those services provided by our WUN Partners and Allies.
Here in our Home Harbor, we have the chance to dive as deep as we have time and capacity for, advancing at our own pace and interest to the next levels.
If the public pages of the WUN HOME HARBOR are only what you have capacity for at the moment, that is perfectly fine. Although, this is a step-by-step progressive process of discovery and we're each encouraged to advance at our own pace, interest and capacity whenever you are ready.
NEXT STEP QUESTS:
IF this small glimpse at the public pages of WUN has awakened your curiosity, you're invited to dive deeper into WUN by learning more about the Key Elements of the WaterUnity Networks Organizational Framework. This innovative structure will help us coordinate and manage the complexities of achieving WATERSHED COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION worldwide.
AND IF THIS continues to resonate with you, then please consider sharing your commitment within our One Source Water Action Alliance (OSWAA) by sharing your OSWAA Pledge. This is an easy, low commitment way to signal our support for our Essential Water, our planet's biodiversity, our vital watersheds and for all the other change-agents working within the global WUN COMMUNITY as we each learn how to become more effective as Water Stewards.
We would love your feedback. Go to the Connect page us to contribute any comments and/or questions about how we can better advance in the developing the WUN Framework.
As we exploring these initial WUN public pages, we stand on the shore of a vast Ocean of Discovery — understanding that this is an emergent evolutionary process for our collaborative species development. That said, it's very challenging to see the full scope and potential of the WaterUnity Networks from here.
None of us have sailed these Waters before, so please, let us be patient, curious and trust in what we find unfurling over the horizon as we journey. This is a very good time to be alive!
WATER IS THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE AND THERE'S ONLY ONE WATER ON EARTH Without our sweet spot to the Sun, a small rocky sphere spinning in an obscure corner of the universe, wouldn't be blessed with the gift of liquid and atmospheric Water - we'd resemble frozen Mars, or gaseous Venus. Water creates every aspect of our Earth's intricate, nurturing biospheric web that sustains us all. Humanity is integral within this and the human species holds a vital caregiving role within the ever-dynamic continuum of All Life. We are all within the Nature of Water. ALL OF LIFE ON EARTH IS THE INFINITE CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF WATER The molecular structure Water, the hydrogen covalent bond to oxygen is the common bond connecting All Life. 99% of the molecules in our own bodies are Water molecules. Our fluid planetary hydrologic cycle IS the generating, organizing, and dissolving element that creates every interconnected relationship weaving us together, uniting every living beings in a delicate yet enduring dance of infinitely diverse complexity. There is no other force on Earth as creative, elegant and intelligent. So, it seems only "common sense" to align and engage our essential life force, the Essential Nature of Source Water as our greatest ally as we seek correct solutions to mitigate the myriad of human-cause imbalances - to generate resiliency in our communities and revitalize Life on Earth. WATERUNITY NETWORKS' MISSION IS TO SUPPORT WATERSHED STEWARDS We're all are invited to join in this celebration of our vital Watershed Communities by striving to restore the original integrity and purity of our Source Water. WaterUnity Networks is one space of many where we can organize our immune response to what ails is, for the benefit of the entire biosphere. We will cherish Water as if our very existence depends on it ... Because it does!
THE TIPPING POINT IS UPON US! THE CHOICE IS OURS.
Humanity's over-extraction is disrupting the delicate balance of our planetary Water cycle, degrading local and regional biomes all around the world, severely impacting the lives of humans and non-humans alike. We know now that we have only a small window of opportunity remaining to prevent wide-scale cascading ecological and societal system collapse, but only if we can learn to work together in an unprecedented adoption of hyper-radical collaboration for the shared purpose of revitalizing Earth.
We have to face the difficult truth. Without glossing over the harsh reality, the "Tipping Point" IS upon us. Arriving faster than we ever imagined, All Life on Earth is being pushed to the edge of an existential cliff. We humans seem to think we can fly above the consequences without any wings and still keep the status quo.
This is a planetary catastrophe at an unprecedented scale. Our dysfunctional human behavior IS at the heart of what we are calling "climate change", which is essentially our Water Cycle knocked out of balance. Water IS/WILL recalibrate back to balance, regardless, but the consequences are rarely gentle. Water will always find its balance in time, and humanity is being called to changed our behavior. We can either be in alignment with the Nature of Water or try to fight against the tidal tide and suffer the consequences.
This dramatic imbalance is the root cause of why severe droughts are dehydrating our forests and lighting every continent on fire, while catastrophic flooding from melting glaciers are swallowing shorelines. This is accelerating the extinction of massive numbers of species each year. This is also reflected in the contagious fear running our social systems. Expressed as domination, war and chaos, the dire societal and ecological effects are evident in every heart, home, community and country, this consequences are all connected. We seem to be losing hope, especially in our younger generations. Our choice point is now, doom or bloom.
WE CAN NO LONGER WAIT FOR OTHERS TO SOLVE THE MESS WE'VE ALL CONTRIBUTED TO
While we don't know WHAT to do or nor HOW to do, we certainly can't afford to NOT step up and take collective, coordinated grass-root responsibility for the actions that will ensure humanity's thriving, hospitable future.
Truthfully, as collective species, we can manage the challenges of the Earth changes we're all facing. We have all the expertise, functional tools, applicable skills and tested methods, we just need to organize and put them sensibly in place. What can be done? We must implement the best practices and the most viable regenerative solutions in our Watershed communities -- all around the world -- or lose our small window of opportunity to affect meaningful change, in the chance we can revitalize our precious home planet.
What are we willing to do to ensure a thriving future for our descendants?
The urgency of this work cannot be understated. Yet, the complexity and magnitude of myriad challenges have left us paralyzed by fear, chaos and political divisiveness. It is clear that humanity currently lacks the societal cohesion, organizational capacity, applied methods or depth of understanding needed to turn the ecological tipping points back towards abundant thriving life - even if our survival depends on it.
"This is not just something we can do, it is something WE MUST DO!"
~ Greta Thunberg
WATERUNITY NETWORKS IS BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN OUR VAST INSPIRATION & THE EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE CLIMATE SOLUTIONS IN THE FIELD, IN TIME WUN, or the WaterUnity Networks is an online and place-based community organizational framework, guided by the Watershed Wisdom Councils Concept, and serving as an educational portal, wisdom aggregator and capacity-builder for activating eco-restoration practitioners ready to work in hyper-radical collaboration. By aligning with the Wisdom of our Source Water as our guide, we create a local to global mycelial network of collaborative coordination to implement the most viable, accessible, scalable, replicable, and affordable living system Watershed Restoration projects interconnecting in watershed confluences from source to sea and beyond. WUN strives to function as a "go-to" home base for local to global Watershed Stewardship, intending to evolve into a planetary Watershed Revitalization movement. By organizing and motivating our coordinated efforts we will be able to become more internally aligned, locally empowered, bioregionally connected, and globally networked throughout river catchments all around the world. Applied and empowered at the local community and bioregional level, WUN is offering humanity viable pathways to apply the most accessible, cost-effective, highest impact, nature-based solutions with longest-term benefits, available to every community everywhere, immediately, to benefit present and future generations of descendents.
WUN is currently concentrating on building strong regenerative relationships and gathering active coalitions of committed allies aligned with our shared Water Ethos and the Watershed Wisdom Council model. Each WUN Partner Platform provides a vital piece of the bigger puzzle as we engage to work in their specific sectors of society – as required to accomplish our collective mission. This strategy of online and onshore organizational framework is design to help us focus our collective contributions towards solving the greatest challenges that we will all be facing in the upcoming years. By activating this mycelial network of radical collaboration, catchment by catchment, we will be able to effectively develop the necessary collective action steps needed to deliver the highest priority whole-system solutions.
As the WaterUnity Networks aligns our regenerative efforts within this core foundational structure of source to sea, local-to-global strategy following the organizational design of Water, our greatest ally ever, in no time we will be focalizing a critical mass momentum for Watershed Revitalization.
By supporting confluences of activated eco-restoration practitioners interconnecting along our Watersheds, we are aligning our aggregated wisdom with the Nature of Source Water, for the benefit of our descendants for generations far into the future.
Our mission to regenerate and re-balanced the overall well-being of Earth's biosphere for present and future generations of Life, humanity, and especially our Youth, will be nurtured, and encouraged so collectively we thrive ~ ALL TOGETHER!As we begin to purposely heal our dysfunctional human relationship to the natural world that sustains us, we will be significantly affecting the social consequences to the climate imbalance as well.
We've given ourselves no choice ... we must immediate act together in hyper-radical collaboration or suffer the consequences of an inhospitable Earth. Evolve or collapse.
We have never faced such an existential threat before. but WUN knows that we are a smart enough species to figure this mess out. IF we can find the willingness to learn how to solve this together as One Water Planet! We have what it takes!

HOW WUN DOES INTEND TO BRIDGE THIS GAP? We fear what we don't know and lose hope when we don't know what to do or how to do it, it is also hard wired into our bodies and souls to strive for a thriving world for ourselves and for those we love.
The WaterUnity Networks seeks to close this gap by bridging our vast inspiration for a thriving future with the efficient field projects getting the work accomplished - in time. ALL HANDS ON DECK TOGETHER... GATHERING VIABLE SOLUTIONS First we must build the solid deck to stand on.
The WaterUnity Networks understands the great potential of bioregional Watershed restoration holds for rehydrating our lands and rebalancing the planet's hydrologic cycle as a key method for mitigating the climate catastrophe. We need a comprehensive, cohesive map to guide us.
Recognizing a map is not the terrain, the WaterUnity Network prioritizes evidence-based scientific principles, as well as traditional and indigenous wisdom, placing high value on insights gleaned from real-life experience.
Based on the core truth of Water as the essence of All Life, the members of WUN are focusing on a whole systems, nature-based approach for this work.
Through our Partner Platforms, WUN offers eco-restoration practitioners and other concerned citizen curated pathways towards generating the vital support and expanded capacity required to manage the complexity of mitigating climate crises.
Organizing initially around Watershed cleanup days and other advocacy events, WUN then, through the capacity-building generated with these entry events, encourages the implementation of more complex solutions, connecting our constituents to the expertise, curricula and templates required for guiding their local community groups in restoring Earth's vital Water Cycle.
WUN is currently concentrating on building strong regenerative relationships and gathering active coalitions of committed allies aligned with our shared Water Ethos and the Watershed Wisdom Council model. Each WUN Partner Platform provides a vital piece of the bigger puzzle as we engage to work in their specific sectors of society – as required to accomplish our collective mission.
The WUN strategy is co-creating an online and onshore organizational framework designed to focus our collective contributions towards solving the greatest challenges that we are all facing in the upcoming years.

WUN NEXT STEPS
If you are coming to this WUN Home Base website from one of our Partner Platforms, welcome! We are excited to have you join us!
Here in our Home Harbor, we have the chance to dive as deep as we have time and capacity for, advancing at our own pace and interest to the next levels.
After perusing these public pages, the Orientation and Onboarding Tiers will lead to the "WELLSPRING" of Activation. This collaborative, community-building membership zone, is where we can delve even deeper into the WUN Watershed Stewardship process. Collaborations are encouraged.
Please understand that this self-organizing deepening process is designed to guide us through a progressive sequence of distinct Concentric Tiers of Engagement in order to become better Water Stewards caring for our precious Earth. Currently, there are 7 Concentric Tiers of Engagement following the Watershed Wisdom Council Concept navigational charts.
Each Tier needs to be completed in order to advance to the next.
TIER 1~ORIENTATION
While technically still a public space, this is the first purposeful step toward being activated in the Wellspring. Although, there are a few more simple steps preparing you to get to this point of transition.
In the Orientation phase each Fresh Water Steward is requested to join our Primary Partner Platform, the World Water Community here:
Please attend at least one ORIENTATION ZOOM CALL for advancing to TIER 2 ONBOARDING. Calls currently occur every Monday @ 11:00 am on Zoom. You can also schedule individual Welcome Call if you can't make that day and time.
TIER 2~ONBOARDING
After you have completed the TIER1~Orientation, Tier 2~Onboarding in next for learning more about the WUN Watershed Stewardship Process.
During the onboarding phase you'll have the opportunity to join into each of our activated WUN Partner Platforms to find the WUN Atrium Portals nested there.
Each Partner Platform is selected because they align with the WUN WATER ETHOS and offer specific functions and access to other unique communities, each with their own character. You can find which Partner Platform best serves your needs, and explore all the other options that interest you.
TIER 2~Onboarding prepares Fresh Water Stewards for TIER 3~Activation as Wellspring members to begin forming local Circles of Trust, when ready.
Each Drop Counts! Dive in.
These Watershed Stewardship models will require us to use new perspectives and new language in new ways. Our Glossary of Terms helps guide us as we co-create revitalizing narratives for the human story.
If these WUN public pages are what you have capacity for at the moment, that is perfectly fine. This is a step-by-step progressive process of discovery and we each advance at our own pace, interest and capacity.
Although, IF this small glimpse has awakened your curiosity, you're invited to dive deeper into the WUN WELLSPRING REMEMBERSHIP process, by advancing to TIER 1~Orientation.
We invite your feedback. Go to the Connect page us to contribute your comments and/or ask questions about advancing WUN.
Thanks for your interest and support. Rest assured, we'll never sell or release your information to anyone, EVER!
This is the WUN home base, here you'll find links to our Partner Platforms and valuable Water information. If you have come here from one of the WUN Atriums, the satellite spaces hosted by one of our incredible aligned Partner Platforms, then these are the Next Steps for you, as well.
Onboarding into our collaborative, community-building membership for the deeper Water Stewardship process comes after you have completed the TIER1 ~ Orientation. Although, there are some more steps preparing you to get there.
There's much to explore! This is a life-long journey, so we'll take it step by step, at our own pace... together! Discover and open yourself to new perspectives.
These public pages are the WUN Atrium Home base.
In addition to valuable Water info, news, spotlights and updates you'll find links to our satellite WUN Atrium Portals nested within our incredible aligned Partner Platforms.
If you have come here from one of these WUN Atriums Portals, then these are the Next Steps for you to follow, as well.
The goal of this step-by-step onboarding process is to guide us each into our collaborative, community-building membership space of the "Wellspring" for our deeper Water Stewardship process with as little confusion as possible. This alignment will comes after we have gone through the first phase of our WUN TIER1~Orientation here in these public pages. Although, there are a few more preliminary steps in preparation.
There's much to explore! This is a life-long journey, so we'll take it step by step, at our own pace. Let's see what we can discover together as we open ourself to new perspectives and methods.
RADICAL COLLABORATION IS OUR EVOLUTIONARY IMPERATIVE
WUN extends an invitation for concerned citizens and casual Water advocates to engage in this emerging network of networks on a grassroots volunteer level, in keeping with their available capacity. We provide weekly orientation and onboarding calls to encourage active participation, open access to a comprehensive set of organizational tools, knowledge, and mentors already engaged in these innovative regenerative methods.
We aim towards the ultimate mission of co-creating a widespread amplification of restorative initiatives to build healthy resiliency in all our Watersheds. The local↔global alliance of WUN is gathering together a rising tide of activated Watershed Stewardship to serve this mission, aligning with Water as the Source of All Life for the intentional rebalancing of our Earth's natural biosphere and Water Cycle. Rights of Nature, ecological stewardship and grass-roots citizen engagement are at the heart of the Watershed Wisdom Council Concept design. Participants will engage in direct, true democracy through the civic innovations of the WaterUnity Networks alliances, utilizing the mechanisms of decentralized web3 transparent gamification, such as membership, vetting, verification, and voting, as well as earning tokens for reputation, merit and contribution. These rewards can then initiate the emergence of value-based regenerative economies for underserved communities.
Together, led by dedicated corp of Water Lovers. we are applying the principles of change theory and collective intelligence to align with our Living Source Water, the most powerful force on Earth, we can serve All Life ~ to revitalize our world's vital Ocean Lakes. Rivers and Watersheds Communities back into pure source integrity.
Water is the foundation of all planning and design in human society. Understanding this, we can begin remediating our dysfunctional water systems to transform our relationship to Water as the Source of All Life. WUN extends an invitation for Water lovers all around the world to engage in this network of networks, providing a comprehensive set of organizational tools for eco-practitioners to engage innovative regenerative methods to train local group councils. Interconnecting our efforts together from source to sea, we serve All Life with our actions ~ revitalizing our world's vital Ocean, Lakes, Rivers and all Watershed Communities to source integrity.
By coming together in remembrance and reverence of our primary relationship with our Essential Source Water, we can engage in simple acts of gratitude, inviting us to discover the joy of nurturing the life of our Watersheda from the inside out. Working with our sister organization, Loving Waters, WaterUnity Networks in sacred ceremonies, educational campaigns, reconciliation and healing practices.
This internal alignment honors the primary intelligence of Water, as we commit our loving actions for the restoration of the Earth and healing of past, present and future generations.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO AVOID CASCADING SYSTEM COLLAPSE?
It is time for "All Hands on Deck", however, first we need to build the solid deck to stand upon. WUN is designed to co-create this foundation for regenerative ecosystem restoration, and is dedicated to implementing the most effective, efficient Watershed solutions, not focusing on the potential "problems".
Once we get aligned and oriented, we can then begin inviting in the the network the people we trust with our lives ~ our Circles of Trust ~ to work with us in a safe and efficient space for organizing our eco-restoration and Watershed revitalization.
We strive to be internally aligned, locally empowered, bio-regionally connected and globally networked.
Enough said about the looming doom. It's clear we need new methods, tools and techniques, however, first, we need a change of heart and mind to fundamentally shift our relationship to the Source of Life, and thus our behavior. This evolutionary imperative requires humanity to wake up to the hard truth that we have only a small window of opportunity to turn the "Tipping Point" toward thriving, abundant living systems, rather than the dying paradigm we are currently caught up in. We have everything we need to turn this tide, except for this critical element.
We will take care of what we love. And in order to retain what remains Earth's ailing Water bodies and regenerate what has been lost, we need apply effective whole system remedies at a local community level in order to correct and calibrate the planet-wide dysfunction. There also needs to be a societal shift from extraction to revitalization. We are calling on all of humanity for the regenerative support for the scores of committed individuals and organizations dedicating their lives to finding these most appropriate solutions to the best of their abilities. Scalable, replicable, Living System Watershed Restoration projects, applied at a local community and bioregional level, offer humanity the most accessible, cost-effective, high impact solutions with longest-term benefits. Interconnected Communities of Trust are the most effective manner to get this mission accomplished. Because the individual can not do it alone, anything larger that small group becomes too complex to manage. We are all called to accelerate our capacity for affecting the greatest beneficial change with the least amount of unintended consequences. Living system solutions of Watershed Regeneration are THE ONLY reasonable solution given the conditions. The COVID pandemic showed us not only how connected all of life is on Earth, but also how quickly our natural systems can revitalize themselves, if given the opportunity. There are already many, many Watershed advocacy groups working to apply this nature-based approach, which offers the lowest cost solutions with the greatest impact available to everyone in their own Watersheds. Most people do not know what to do and are afraid to make mistakes. Gathering solid science and proven, time-tested example is a good starting point, connecting us together upstream and down for maximum success.
With our greatest challenge being how to generate the willingness to work together, opening the broadest pathways for efficiently organizing groups of committed local citizens for the most significant effectiveness in Watershed Restoration in the shortest amount of time makes sense.
TIME IS NOW!

WATER IS THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE AND THERE IS ONLY ONE LIFE ON EARTH
There is only one Water on all of Earth, and thus there is only one life ...
Water creates Earth's intricate, nurturing ecological web, which
sustains us all. Without our sweet spot in the solar system blessing
our small rocky planet in an obscure corner of the universe with the unique
gift of atmospheric Water, we'd resemble frozen Mars – or gaseous Venus.
ALL OF LIFE ON EARTH IS THE INFINITE CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF WATER Water is the covalent common bond of All Life. Our flowing liquid Water Cycle
is the generating, organizing, and dissolving element of every interconnected
cyclic relationships, weaving together our tapestry of life and uniting every
living beings in a delicate yet enduring dance of infinitely diverse complexity.
There is no other force in creation is as essential, elegant and intelligent. It seems to make common sense to engage this life force as we seek solutions.
WATERUNITY NETWORKS' MISSION IS TO SUPPORT WATER STEWARDS
All are invited to join in this celebration to restore the integrity of our Water. We should cherish Water as if our very existence depends on it ...
(because it does) ...
WATER IS SOURCE, NOT RESOURCE
Water, the source of all life on Earth is our environmental, collective, and personal hydrological life support system. It essential nature has been woefully disregarded as an exploitable resource for most of our modern era. Knocked out of balance by human-caused impacts of greed, control and chaos, this dire paradigm is threatening All Life as we know it. We ARE the Watershed and our life support system of the Planetary Water Cycle is in a dangerous flux calibrating to a human-caused imbalance. This is exasperated by the mass species extinction of huge numbers of species, fires, floods and drought, as well as the contagious fear running our social systems. The dire societal and ecological effects are evident in every heart, home, community and country. THE TIPPING POINT IS UPON US! The disrupted Water Cycle is at the heart of what we are calling "climate change" and this imbalance is the root cause of our world being on fire from droughts on every continent and the catastrophic flooding from melting glaciers is swallowing entire countries.
Without glossing over the hard reality, the "Tipping Point" is upon us faster than imagined. Collectively, All Life on Earth at the edge of an existential cliff and we humans seem to think we can fly over it without wings. We have to face the truth.
We can no longer wait to act appropriately. We can not afford to NOT step up and take collective, grass-root responsibility. We must work together to implement solutions or lose our chance to affect meaning full mitigation. Either we learn how to work all together in radical collaboration or we suffer the catastrophe of a bleak, inhospitable Earth, putting the viable future for our descendants is at risk.
Truthfully, we are in NO WAY prepare to manage the consequences of the Earth changes. Nor do we have the functional tools or skills in place to adapt sensibly. As a collective species we are losing hope, especially out younger generations. We have given ourselves little choice ... we must act together and do so immediate... yet most of us do not know WHAT to do or how to do. We either evolve together, or collapse in separation.
ALL HANDS ON DECK!
