In this photo intervention the Water Healing Pattern provides its support to the waters of the Columbia River (Nch'i-Wana in Sahaptin, Wimahl in Upper Chinook) which forms most of the border between Washington and Oregon.
The pattern helps bring water back to its original energetics, tuning it to its own frequency. Water holds information, including human trauma, pollution, and the impingement of systems that weren't made to benefit its inherent flow patterns (like dams). Salmon which are the life blood of Northwest living systems are severely impeded by dams like the Grand Coulee.
